A bookloving woman who thinks she's dying leaves home, makes friends, and finds love. Story by author of Anne of Green Gables.

Zachary Bronson has built an empire of wealth and power--now he needed a wife to help secure his position in society...and warm his bed in private. But not just any woman will do for a man whom all of London knows is not a gentleman. Then he unexpectedly swept Lady Holly Taylor into his arms for an unasked for--but very alluring--kiss, and suddenly he knew he had found a woman whose fierce passions matched his own. Lady Holly Taylor was beautiful, generous, and, as a widow, destined to spend her life playing by society's rules, even when they went against her bolder instincts. But Zachary's kiss had aroused her, and though the shocking offer he made didn't include marriage, she was compelled to risk everything and follow him to the place where dreams begin.

[From FictionDB] Impoverished but beautiful Salrina could hardly believe what she was hearing. A French plot to kill the prince regent! She must tell someone -- and her only choice seemed to be the cynical, arrogant, maddeningly handsome Earl of Fleetwood, her next-door country neighbor. Desperate adventure called her... and a destiny that joined her to the earl in a far sweeter, bolder adventure than she had ever bargained for...

Princess Giona is sent from Queen Victoria to marry King Ferdinand of Slovonia, who is old and cruel. On her way there, she finds out that the previous king had a young son who disappeared. She is determined to help the country find the man who is the rightful king!

UPSTAIRS AND DOWNSTAIRS Returning home to Belgravia from a certain boudoir in Trafalgar Square, Viscount Rathbone is surprised to see a beautiful young woman in the street at twilight--when no true lady walks alone. Yet she is none other than the ward of the powerful Duke of Worley, Prudence Tamhill, whose virtue and charm have been singled out for praise by the Queen herself. Rathbone insists on escorting her safely home in his carriage, though her presence at his side will prove a singular temptation to a lord who knows very well that a stolen kiss is the sweetest. ...AND IN MY LADY'S CHAMBERS Never had Prudence imagined that one kiss could mean so much--or that it would change her life forever. Why did she allow him such liberties? The viscount has a reputation that would shame Casanova, and his friends are little better. When Prudence finds out that they staked a fortune upon a scandalous wager, daring Rathbone to enter her bedchamber at midnight, she is furious. To save her reputation, her guardian insists that they marry. And her troubles have only begun...because his passion for her is too tender to resist. *** Series: Gentlemen's Club #4
