"He Stole My Heart—Then Vanished Into the Night." I was raised to be the perfect lady—embroidering cushions and curtsying on cue—but all I ever wanted was freedom. One reckless ride under the stars changed everything. I found him bleeding and unconscious in the fields. No name. No past. Just a desperate plea: don’t tell anyone. So I didn’t. We hid him in the old gatekeeper’s cottage. I called him Sebastian. As I nursed him back to health, I fell hopelessly in love with a man who vanished the night we were to run away together. Two years later, he returns—as the powerful Duke ...

I fled from danger. I found something far more dangerous—him. I never meant to lie. Never meant to run. But when I overheard Lord Thorne plotting to steal my fortune and trap me in a loveless marriage, I didn’t have a choice. I slipped away under the cover of darkness, and disappeared into the quiet hum of a village miles from everything I’ve ever known. Now, disguised as a boy, I shelve books in a dusty little shop and try to keep my head down. Simple. Safe. Until he walks in—William Blackwood, the brooding earl who once danced with me on the night my world shattered. He doesn’t ...

NO FORTUNE. NO PROSPECTS. ONE MAN WHO COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING. I was raised to marry well. Not to beg for a husband. But after my father’s reckless choices leave us penniless, I have no choice. With four unruly siblings depending on me, I need a husband—quickly. No fortune, no dowry—just me and the secret I must keep: everyone believes my siblings are my nieces and nephews. No one wants that kind of burden. Until him. Mr. Caldicott is nothing like the gentlemen of the ton. As my tenant, he should be entirely unsuitable—yet he’s steady, kind, and far too willing to help. His ...

I never planned to marry—and certainly not for love. I’m Amelia Edgerton, daughter of a baron, self-declared spinster-in-training, and proud disbeliever in romance. After years of watching society pretend affection is found in title and coin, I’ve made peace with a quiet life filled with books, solitude, and zero suitors. Unfortunately, my father disagrees. He’s set on seeing me wed, parading eligible gentlemen through our door like it’s a cattle market. I’ve chased off every last one—thanks to a bit of cunning, some theatrical sabotage, and the occasional help from my ...
