These wallflowers are no mere ornaments; they're determined women on missions of love, justice, and triumph, each armed with courage, wit, and more than a hint of scandal. In A Wallflower Never Surrenders by Courtney McCaskill, Eleanor Weatherby fights for her family's survival by scheming to match her sister with a wealthy suitor. But her plans collide with the formidable Duke of Norwood, sparking a fiery battle of wits that may lead to an unexpected love.

In Lady Vengeance by Katherine Bone, a red-cloaked vigilante with a deadly aim seeks justice for her slain brother, but her mission is complicated by the return of the Duke of Beresford, whose heart she once held and whose trust she now needs to achieve her goals. Finally, Lana Williams's The Wallflower Wager pits Lady Prudence Davies against Viscount Winstead in a high-stakes game of love and loyalty. Can Prudence save her fellow wallflowers from heartbreak while guarding her own heart against Silas's roguish charm? From heart-stopping wagers to thrilling revenge plots, A Wallflower's Brazen Revenge delivers passion, intrigue, and unforgettable romance.

How to Train Your Viscount

Pages : 0
Book Description
The only one who can help her is the man who broke her heart. Four years ago, Lady Caroline Astley took one look at Henry Greville, Viscount Thetford, and fell horribly in love, in that particular way you can only fall in love at the age of fifteen. He didn't just reject her. He humiliated her. But now, in a stroke of rotten luck, he's the only one who can help her. It turns out that the "paste" pendant she borrowed from her sister, Anne, was no fake. It's actually an ancient Egyptian amulet, and now Anne wants to auction it off to save hundreds of widows and orphans. What Caro can't bear to tell her sister is that the necklace was stolen from right around her neck. Caro has a few clues, but she doesn't know an amulet from an obelisk, and the trail has gone cold. Guess who grew up in a house stuffed with Egyptian artifacts? Caro may despise Henry, but she needs him if she's going to track down the thieves. Which begs the question of which is worse: letting down the orphans or risking her heart all over again. If you like sizzling Regency romance that makes you laugh and makes you swoon, give How to Train Your Viscount a try! Note: How to Train Your Viscount falls on the comedic end of the Regency spectrum; you might call it a Regency rom-com. The love scenes are red hot. Our hero's mother wishes to regretfully forewarn the reader that her son utters several shocking obscenities during the course of the novel.

Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
He lost her once. He can’t bear to lose her again. Michael Cranfield, the Earl of Morsley, has been hopelessly in love with the girl next door, Lady Anne Astley, ever since they were fourteen years old. This made it particularly jarring when she went and married someone else when his father sent him on a secret mission for the Crown in the wilds of Canada. Now Anne is a widow, and Michael has a second chance to be with the woman he loves. He’s determined to marry Anne, take her back to Canada (where’s he’s spent the past four years training to be Governor General,) and wrap her up in cotton gauze so he'll never have to be parted from her. Anne still cringes when she recalls the day she learned with absolute certainty that Michael only saw her as a friend. But she isn’t the biddable girl Michael remembers, not any more. She’s found that being a widow, answering to no one, and running her London charity precisely as she sees fit suits her just fine. She does want to remarry because she’s always yearned for a large family, but only if she can find a husband who will support her in the charity work that means everything to her. And if Michael Cranfield thinks she’s going to give up her charity to move to Canada, or let him boss her around, then he’d better think again! What price will Michael be willing to pay to be with the woman he loves? What’s an Earl Gotta Do? Please note that the heat level is red hot! Suitable for Fans of: Tessa Dare, Sarah MacLean, Julie Anne Long, Eva Leigh Tropes: Friends to Lovers, Boy Next Door/ Girl Next Door, First Love, Second Chance Romance Keywords: Banter, Witty, Regency Rom-Com, Comedic Romance, Romantic Comedy, Humorous Romance, Funny Romance, Shared Past, Steamy Romance, Sexy Romance, Canada

Pages : 361
Book Description
A SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR A VOGUE BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A rollicking read... [Ostler] tells Elizabeth's story with admirable style and gusto' Sunday Times 'Terrifically entertaining: if you liked Bridgerton, you’ll love this. . . and her research is impeccable' Evening Standard When the glamorous Elizabeth Chudleigh, Duchess of Kingston, Countess of Bristol, went on trial at Westminster Hall for bigamy in April 1776, the story drew more attention in society than the American War of Independence. A clandestine, candlelit wedding to the young heir to an earldom, a second marriage to a Duke, a lust for diamonds and an electrifying appearance at a masquerade ball in a diaphanous dress: no wonder the trial was a sensation. However, Elizabeth refused to submit to public humiliation and retire quietly. Rather than backing gracefully out of the limelight, she embarked on a Grand Tour of Europe, being welcomed by the Pope and Catherine the Great among others. As maid of honour to Augusta, Princess of Wales, Elizabeth led her life in the inner circle of the Hanoverian court and her exploits delighted and scandalised the press and the people. She made headlines, and was a constant feature in penny prints and gossip columns. Writers were intrigued by her. Thackeray drew on Elizabeth as inspiration for his calculating, alluring Becky Sharp. But her behaviour, often depicted as attention-seeking and manipulative, hid a more complex tale – that of Elizabeth’s fight to overcome personal tragedy and loss. Now, in this brilliantly told and evocative biography, Catherine Ostler takes a fresh look at Elizabeth’s story and seeks to understand and reappraise a woman who refused to be defined by society’s expectations of her.
