A fiancé deceit leads a practical lady to embrace her true passion in this Regency romance by the author of The Devilish Marquis. Having never seen a love match that didn’t end in disaster, Lady Maryann Rivington is determined to wed for practical reasons. So the last thing she wants to hear is a slanderous accusation against her carefully-chosen betrothed. She can't imagine why the handsome stranger who approached her in the Botanic Gardens is so intent on preventing her marriage. But she is so befuddled by the passion in his eyes that she no longer feels rational in the least. Major Stephen Fant spent months gathering evidence against the man who had destroyed his brother, and now the scoundrel is finally within his reach. Though he knows it could jeopardize everything, he simply has to warn his quarry's beautiful fiancée that her betrothed is under investigation. After all, Lady Maryann is far too delectable for the likes of the lowly Lord Tammadge. And as the major gazes into her wide gray eyes, he realizes he'd do anything to keep her safe—except stay away.
In Regency England, an actress finds herself suddenly playing on a whole new stage . . . Having risen from the squalor of London’s back alleys to be the darling of Drury Lane, Meg Fletcher was indeed the consummate actress. And it takes all her considerable skills to conceal her shock when she learns she was actually the legitimate daughter—and heir—of Sir Richard Carswell, an aging baronet . . . Determined to learn why her mother fled her husband in terror all those years ago, Meg journeys to Carswell Hall. There, in addition to the scandalized servants and a very surprised papa, she encounters the extremely unsettling Earl of Stanbrook, a deliciously handsome rake—who is not at all amused when the actress he’d been intended to seduce began putting on airs at Carswell Hall in the role of virtuous prodigal daughter. There was only one way a girl of her station could have come so far in the world. She might enjoy pretending she wasn’t to be won over with a few baubles, but he knew she was his for the taking. It would be trickier now that he knew she was of the Quality, but every gentleman understood there were ways to bend the rules when wooing a scandalous lady . . .

Lady Caroline Dundas may have been raised in New Orleans, but she knew how to comport herself as well as any London miss. But proper manners were quite impossible to maintain in the face of Simon Renshaw's arrogance. How dare he declare her father an impostor who had returned to England only to grab the family fortune and title. Renshaw was clearly a charlatan...and a rake as well! For he looked her up and down with an insulting familiarity that made her wish she were not such a lady after all. Simon Renshaw could not believe the raven-haired Lady Caroline was an innocent in the Dundas deception. She was too clever by half—and suspiciously protective of her scheming papa. Though she appeared to be nothing more than a cold-blooded adventuress, Simon could not help but wish himself in her clutches. Perhaps a stolen kiss or two might melt her deceitful heart...and yield up something even more precious than the truth.

And shocked when sassy Kate made his pulse race—and even more so when he began to not mind quite so much…

After all, a paid companion must follow her employer’s wishes. It scarcely mattered that Elizabeth would be forced to face the man who had unknowingly broken her heart years ago during her first season. Most likely, the Duke of Stenton wouldn’t even recognize her. But once she looked up into his dark, piercing eyes, she knew this was a man who forgot very little and forgave even less. Well, she was no longer a blushing schoolgirl, and the dashing duke would soon find that a broken heart, once mended, could be formidable indeed!
