Heartbroken by a scoundrel and with her reputation mud, Gwendolyn Trym agrees to use her sizable dowry to restore Adam’s fortunes—and he can restore her good name! Then they can both dispense with the chore of marriage.

Penniless and with a young son, Claire is well aware that she’s totally unsuitable for a duke. But she’s also completely unable to ignore the ripples of desire every time she’s near dashing Hart… Or the temptation to start a forbidden affair!

Part of The Wallflower Academy
by Emily E K Murdoch
(Regency)
Adventurous, free-spirited Sylvia Bryant has no intention of entering the London marriage mart—she plansto return to Antigua and her mother, whom she was forced to leave. But first that means breaking free from her prison of a finishing school! Only when she makes her daring escape, the last thing she expects is to literally land in a duke’s lap! Now Sylvia and Theodore are forced into an engagement, which Sylvia certainly doesn’t want to make permanent. Yet if their union is just for show, why does her attraction to Teddy feel dizzyingly real?
