Book Description
Having no fortune, a negligible reputation, and an appearance that could only be described as plain, Miss Olympia Daventry has few prospects. Unless, of course, she elects to remain in her aunt's home dodging her uncle's amourous advances and his sermons, both of which are dished out in equal measure. Out of desperation, she accepts an offer of marriage from a man she has never met. Married by proxy, she travels to his home and at her first sight of it, begins to wonder if perhaps she has not made a terrible mistake. Dark, ominous, foreboding—that description fits both Darkwood Hall and her new husband, Lord Albus Griffin, Viscount Darke. Griffin had vowed never to marry, but the terms of his meddling aunt's will have left him no other option if he intends to preserve Darkwood Hall and the secrets it holds. But he'd instructed his solicitor to secure a wife for him that would never tempt him to consummate their union. And yet Olympia tempts him at every turn. She incites in him such lust and desire, such possessiveness, that he fears the madness that threatens all the men of his line has finally claimed him. But there are other dangers lurking within the walls of Darkwood Hall, secrets and plots, enemies that will stop at nothing to destroy them. Tempted, torn, and tormented by wanting what he should not let himself have, Griffin is lost... but for once he is not alone.

One youthful indiscretion has left Kit Wexford with a reputation in tatters and an unfortunate nickname—Wicked Wexford. But it was her father’s financial ruin that altered her life irrevocably and saw her scrubbing floors in her cousin’s country home. Treated worse than the servants, she tolerates the lowering existence because to do otherwise would see her brother and herself in the workhouse. But when a stranger arrives in the small village of Lofton, claiming to be the long lost heir to the late Lord Hadley, things take a turn from bad to simply strange. Malcolm Bryant never wanted to be a Lord Anything. As an American, the rules of English high society escape him. What hasn’t escaped him are the numerous restrictions enumerated by the solicitors on the bride he must choose in order to maintain control of the late Lord Hadley’s fortune. She must be of good family. She must have local collections. She must be gently bred. They never said she had to be chaste. And after one brief, charged encounter with Miss Katherine Wexford, he knows that no one else will do. Ruined and impoverished or not, he’ll have her as his wife. Then he’ll show her just how glorious it can be to be wicked… and wanton.

Rumored to be more than just a murderer… Lord Ambrose Ravenner, Marquess Blackraven, has been shunned by the whole of society following the death of his wife and the shocking events that transpired at her funeral which resulted in his mother-in-law’s demise. But shunned or not, he needs an heir and that means getting himself a wife. Braving society, he enters Almack’s, the very heart of the marriage mart. And there he meets the one woman who braves the censure of everyone who matters by speaking to him openly and claiming a purely fabricated acquaintance with him… A spinster courting scandal… Miss Mathilda Featherington is all the things society despises in a woman. She is plain, she is plump, she is poor and she is unmarried. In short, they would pity her if they were not so utterly confounded by the fact that she doesn’t have any desire to change anything about herself. Except her circumstances have altered, and rather than just being poor, now her entire family faces the possibility of debtor’s prison if she does not find a husband who possesses both a fortune and a generous nature. But neither of those things enters her mind when she sees the darkly handsome Marquess. Instead, she acts purely on impulse and makes a muddle of everything. Banished to a country house party to avert scandal after her impetuousness at Almack’s, Mathilda has been instructed by her aunt, in no uncertain terms, that she is to flirt shamelessly and make a match with Sir Wilbur Martens, a grotesque man more than a decade older than her father. But Mathilda’s mother has other plans… and they include the Marquess. But Mrs. Featherington isn’t the only one who is meddling. Amrbose’s aunts, Athena and Minerva, have conducted a love spell on his behalf… and muddled it horribly. Mathilda is supposed to make a match with Sir Wilbur. Miss Abbingford is determined to make a match with the Marquess. The aunts have no notion which of the young ladies is the soulmate they conjured for their nephew. But by fate, destiny, magic or a matchmaking mama, Ambrose and Mathilda only have eyes for one another…
