Book Description
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Olivia Drake, a steamy Regency romance... Raven-haired beauty, Vivien Thorne has been raised by a devoted and loving Romani couple, who she believed to be her parents. But when the Rosebuds, three elder noble ladies who rule the ton, visit her palm-reading shop to reveal she’s the illegitimate daughter of a governess, long since passed, Vivien’s entire world is turned upside down. The Rosebuds convince her to accompany them to the Marchioness’s estate, Stokeford Abbey, where she is to be taught how to be a proper lady. As Vivien learns the rules of how to be a lady, she develops a natural bond with the aging Marchioness, who is easily charmed by the pretty and sincere newcomer. When Michael Kenyon, the current Marquess of Stokeford, and reigning rogue of the ton, arrives home, he’s certain that this stunning young woman with the dark hair and fiery eyes is here to con his grandmother. But as Michael and Vivien spend more time together, Michael confronts his preconceived notions about the Romani and begins to see Vivien for who she really is—a kind-hearted beauty who is devoted to others... Just when Vivien begins to feel comfortable in this strange new society, another secret comes to light, one that will challenge everything she ever knew about herself—and her newfound love with a wicked Marquess... “A dramatic tale that puts tears in your eyes one moment, then has you chuckling the next.

Book Description
Welcome to Book One in "The Hellion Club", the nickname for the Darrow School, where miscreant noblemen send their illegitimate daughters to keep them out of sight, out of mind, and to make them employable. It's propriety, secrets, and passion in this scorching new series! Douglas "Devil" Ashton, Lord Deveril, was forced by his father to join the army and was exiled to India. It was punishment for all his many wicked, wild and reckless ways. While serving his country, the unthinkable happens at home. Devil's sister is seduced by a fortune hunter and cast out by their father. By the time Devil returns to England, he's too late to save her... but if he can obtain the right governess, one who specializes in working with children others have deemed unmanageable, he might be able to save his niece. There is only one problem - no respectable woman would ever consent to be employed in the house of the Devil Lord. If she did, she'd never be able to be employed elsewhere again, as his very name is synonymous with ruin. But Wilhelmina Marks is no ordinary governess. She's a graduate of the Darrow School, an integral member of The Hellion Club, and a determined lady in her own right. Marina, Lord Deveril's niece is a challenge... but not nearly as challenging as her uncle. He is all that they have said of him. Hedonistic. Rakishly charming.Too handsome by far. But also kind and perhaps a little broken. It's that combination which draws Willa to him and makes him irresistible to her. But danger looms when Marina's wastrel, fortune hunting father returns, intent on claiming his daughter. Willa and Devil must work together to keep the little girl safe... is it a recipe for disaster or a recipe for love?
