How to Live Happily Ever After

(#1 Happy Ever After)

Miss Agnes Bottombrook accepted long ago that she would never marry. Not even when she was still young did gentlemen see anything in her that would appeal to them. Now, at nine-and-twenty years of age, all hope is lost and Agnes is on the shelf for good.

Or isn’t she?

Out of nowhere, the rakishly handsome—and young, mind you!—Lord Wentford asks Agnes for a dance, shocking not only Agnes but all of London society, most of all, his own mother. Certain that his intentions are far from honorable, Agnes tries her utmost to rebuff the young lord and reveal him as a scoundrel, only seeking her attention to win a bet or wager of some kind.

Unfortunately, Lord Wentford cannot be rebuffed, no matter how hard Agnes tries, forcing her to contemplate the possibility—remote as it might be—that he might truly…care for her.

Or doesn’t he?

Without her consent, Agnes finds herself swept off her feet by her most unexpected and equally persistent suitor, doubting her own sanity when desires she thought she had long since abandoned resurface. But will she dare believe him?

Would she be a fool to do so…or rather not to do so?

How to Wake a Sleeping Lady

(#2 Happy Ever Regency)

A forgotten love.
A twist of fate.
And a second chance at a happily-ever-after.

The sad truth is: Martha cannot remember her life. Or her family. Or even her own name.
After being fished out of the sea three years ago, Martha has been living at an abbey, unable to unearth more than little bits and pieces about herself. Her joy of gardening. Her love for the outdoors. Her unruly tongue…that utters too much instead of keeping it safely sealed inside.

But Martha is content…or tries to be…
…at least until a dashing young gentleman comes to the abbey one day and upends her life yet again.

Because, apparently, her name is not Martha. Of course!
Her name is Agnes Bottombrock. Yugh!
Or it used to be because, now, she is AGNES BARRETT, COUNTESS OF WENTFORD. Truly?
And…she is his wife! Sigh!

The moment GRANT BARRETT, EARL OF WENTFORD, met his Nessa for the very first time, he believed himself lost in a dream. He loved the unflinching way her eyes met his. He loved how she snapped at him to stay away from her. He loved the way her breath shuddered past her lips as he drew closer.

He loved her.
And then he lost her.

Forced to bury his heart, Grant spent three endless years mourning his wife, missing his wife, yearning for his wife…until a rumor sends him up north to a remote abbey. As though nothing happened, Nessa suddenly stands before him once again, not a figment of his imagination, not a distant memory, but a woman of flesh and blood.
A woman who does not remember him.
Or their love.

Yet Grant is far from discouraged. After the insurmountable chasm of death that stood between them before, conquering his wife’s heart all over again should be an easy feat, should it not?

How to Tame a Beastly Lord

(#3 Happy Ever Regency)

A fallen lady.
A beastly lord.
And a night out in the woods.

Never has LADY EUGENIE done anything untoward. Never would she have dared. Yet she suddenly finds herself in a most dire situation, unwed and with child.

Of course, no white knight rides to the rescue because life is simply not a fairy tale. Or is it?

Out of nowhere, the rumored Beast of Ravengrove, a hideously scarred earl who wanders his ancestral home at night—according to the gossips!—offers to marry her, promising her the protection of his name. Without an alternative, Eugenie reluctantly accepts, terrified of what life will have in store for her as the new Lady of Ravengrove. Yet, soon she comes to realize that there is more to her new husband than meets the eye.

ADRIAN BROOKS, EARL OF REMSEMERE, never wanted a wife, equally certain that no woman would ever want him. Yet despite his best intentions, he suddenly finds himself married to one such alluring creature. And what is worse: after years of existing as a mere shadow of who he once was, Adrian’s treacherous heart once again longs to live.

And love.

Out of the shadows, Adrian watches his young wife, her alluring gray eyes drawing him near. He knows he ought to keep his distance, but instead each day brings down his defenses a bit more. She is like a fairy out of legend, gentle and sweet, her shy eyes seeking his every so often, as though she, too, feels herself thrown off balance, her heart in danger of leaping from her chest.

But no lady could ever love a beast, or could she?

How to Climb a Lady's Tower

(#4 Happy Ever Regency)

An untamed lady.
A stranger in the night.
And a match made in heaven.

More than anything in the world, MISS REBECCA HAWKINS hates boredom. Boring gentlemen. Boring balls. Boring strolls in the park. Boring picnics. The list is endless.

So, in secret, Rebecca has been working on a list of her own. One that is far from boring. One that will land her in trouble if her aunt and uncle ever found out. One that would ruin her chances of finding a suitable husband…which is all the more reason to check off each and every point on it (after all, who would want a suitable husband?).

And then one night, as though Fate heard her silent plea, a stranger climbs in through her window…and Rebecca does not hesitate.

As an American, ZACHARY CASWELL knows very little about English high society nor does he care to know more. However, when a family heirloom is stolen, he is forced to remain in England longer than he intended…

…and crosses paths with a woman, who is a far cry from the simpering misses he encountered thus far.

Bewitched by Miss Hawkins’ daring spirit, Zach accepts her help in locating his missing heirloom while offering his own assistance in return. Together, they work through her list, crossing off point after point, until Zach realizes he wishes there were more.

All of a sudden, returning to America is no longer a priority. All of a sudden, Zach loathes a particularEnglish lord for a very particular reason. All of a sudden, Miss Hawkins is all he can think about.

Perhaps…

How to Steal a Thief's Heart

(#5 Happy Ever Regency)

An unusual wallflower.
A knight of the road.
And a moment that changed all they thought they knew.

MISS CAROLINE HAWKINS never gets looked at twice. She is never asked to dance or called on by a gentleman. In fact, gentlemen hardly notice she is even there, easily looking past her at the more alluring ladies of English society…

…which is precisely how Caroline wants it.

After all, she puts a lot of work into her appearance, powdering her hair to ensure it loses its shine and looks dull and unassuming. Thick spectacles hide her bright and watchful eyes, and wide, gray gowns buttoned to her chin conceal any female curves that might draw unwanted attention.

In short: Caroline’s disguise is perfect…
…or almost perfect because, to Caroline’s dismay, one particular gentleman will not be swayed.
People call him THE BLACK BARON.

The moment PIERCE BYRNE, BARON MARKHAM, glimpses this little gray mouse of a woman he knows something about her is…odd. Intriguingly odd. Fascinatingly odd. Odd in a way that makes him want to know more about her.

By sheer happenstance, Pierce stumbles upon her one night and realizes how very right he has been. Caroline Hawkins is indeed odd, for she has been hiding a secret from all of London society that makes her perfect for him.

After all, he, too, hides a secret…one Caroline swears to discover as the two of them go head to head. When the dust settles, will they still be strangers?

How to Turn a Frog into a Prince

(#6 Happy Ever Regency)

A barefoot maiden.
A painfully proper gentleman.
And a friendship most unexpected.

NATHANIAL CASWELL no longer wants anything to do with women. Or marriage. Or love. Especially love!

After his fiancée leaves him for another, Nathanial is a broken man, his thoughts dominated by doubts and regrets. He no longer sees any beauty in life, certain it will always be thus. However, at his brother’s wedding celebration, Nathanial’s life is turned upside down for a second time.

A young woman with raven-black hair and insightful brown eyes approaches him and offers to be his friend. No matter what he does, Nathanial cannot sway her. She insists on being his friend, no more and no less. Simply a friend.
Nathanial has never been friends with a woman, but what does he have to lose?

MISS CHARLAINE PALMER knows the meaning of pain and loss, and the moment she spots Nathanial Caswell, she knows that he needs her. He needs her to be his friend.

And so, she teases him (as a friend would) and riles him (as a friend should). She forces him out of the house and drags him to a masquerade. She pulls him onto the dance floor and urges him along on a frog hunt. She pesters him until he relents, finally loses his shoes and walks barefoot through the lush summer grass.

And when Nathanial begins to smile again, his dazzling blue eyes lighting up with joy once more, Charlaine realizes that she just might want more than friendship from Nathanial.
But what if he doesn’t? Well, Charlaine has never been one to give up, and she will not start now.

How to Return a Lady's Slipper

(#7 Happy Ever Regency)

A spy on a mission.
A governess with a secret.
And a slipper lost at a ball.

MISS EMMA GLASS is afraid of her own shadow. She wasn’t always, but life taught her a terrible lesson. One she cannot forget, no matter how hard she tries.

Afraid to stumble upon said past, Emma keeps her head down, tending to her duties as a governess most diligently. She begins to feel safe again and stops looking over her shoulder, telling herself that he will never find her. Yet she knows to be wary of men, of noblemen in particular, at least until her employer’s oldest friend returns to London. From the moment she sees him, Emma knows she is in trouble.

Or more accurately, her heart.

HUGH LAWRENCE, DUKE OF ASHHAVEN, has spent his life serving the Crown. No woman has ever caught his eye until he returns to England after long years on foreign soil. All of a sudden, his mind strays from his current investigation and starts to linger on a timid young woman with almost fearful blue eyes.

Ash knows he ought not look at her. She is a governess while he is a duke. Nothing can ever become of them; and yet all his good intentions are out the window the moment Miss Glass is approached by the very man he is investigating…for murder.

Determined to keep her safe, Ash breaks the one rule he shouldn’t: he loses his heart to her. If only she weren’t a governess! After all, a duke cannot marry a governess, can he?
