Book Description
Lady Carolina Neverhartt has one wish…to attend a school devoted to the study of music. The newly opened Pembroke Academy of Music offers everything she hopes to learn. One man stands in her way…Wesley Cox, the Earl of Sheffield. He alone will determine if she's as talented as she claims, and he has no problem lying to her if he believes it's necessary. After her audition he denies her admittance and claims her talent is too mediocre. Carolina is furious and decides to investigate if he's telling the truth. He only sees her pretty face and thinks her mind has nothing of substance in it. She sets out to prove him wrong on principle alone. No one deceives her without suffering the consequences. If he won't allow her to attend the school, then perhaps there is an alternative solution. She proposes he teach her himself…privately. Lord Sheffield reluctantly agrees, and soon finds himself ensnared in a trap of his own design. The question is: Can he lure Carolina to stay by his side, and remain with him forever.

Never Disrespect a Governess: Miss Alexandra Matthews is destitute after her father dies and leaves her nothing to fend for herself. She is forced to seek employment and takes a position as a governess for the children of the Duke of Graystone. Damon Neverhartt, the Earl of Seville returns home after being out of the country for years. He is ready to take over his family estate and accept his role as an earl. Thanks to the Duke of Graystone’s guidance the Seville estate is prosperous, and his family home almost completely restored. He goes to Graystone Castle upon his return and plans to stay there while Seville Manor’s restoration is being finalized. He doesn’t expect to find a temptation in the form of a governess.

Never Desire a Duke: Miss Amelia Halsey is firmly on the shelf. In her first season, she'd had one offer. One she found repulsive, and thankfully her brother had refused. Now ten years later she decides it's time to give in to her one desire. She fell in love with the Duke of Darling, but he didn't notice her. At the yearly masquerade, Amelia decides she's going to try her hand at seduction, and the Duke of Darling is her gentleman of choice. If a lady is going to have one affair it might as well be with the man of her dreams after all... Grant Barrett, the Duke of Darling, doesn't wish to marry, but thinks perhaps it's time he does. His title demands it, and so does his meddling mother. An enchanting lady with golden hair and mischievous banter lures him away from the masquerade for a tantalizing interlude. Much to his frustration she disappears when the bell sounds to remove their masks. He believes he's finally met the woman destined to be his duchess. If only he had any way of discovering her name to ask her...
