Book excerpt: Lady Philippa must wed to gain her fortune and freedom. A former soldier wants only peace and seclusion. Marriage to each other is their best solution. Lady Philippa Gillensford, three and twenty and an heiress in her own right, is tethered to a future scripted by her family—a gilded cage she's desperate to escape. Disenchanted with society's approved suitors, she's ready to grasp her destiny, even if it means forsaking the elusive notion of love. Captain Myles Cobbett, a battle-worn veteran of the Napoleonic wars, has chosen a life of self-imposed exile, his scars—visible and invisible—a barrier between him and a society he no longer recognizes. But an obligation to attend a charity ball for wounded veterans thrusts him back into the world, where he crosses paths with the vivacious Lady Philippa. Seizing an unexpected opportunity to free herself from her family’s yoke, Philippa hatches a daring plan: Myles must marry her to rescue her reputation. In return, she offers him what he thinks he desires—a tranquil existence in the country, far removed from the social whirlpool. Yet as they play-act their way through marital bliss for the benefit of society, an undeniable tension sparks between them. Philippa and Myles find themselves wrestling not only with societal expectations but also with their own repressed desires. Can a marriage born of scandal and convenience evolve into an enduring love?

Book excerpt: When an unsuitable gentleman appears to court a baron's daughter, it's an older sister's duty to stand in his way. And, of course, not fall in love with him herself. Matilda "Mattie" Rayment is a woman embroiled in a delicate mission: to ensure her vivacious younger sister, Beatrice, makes a prosperous match before the curtain falls on this Season. Their family's waning reputation and looming financial ruin add urgency to her quest. When Oliver Bolton, a newly minted gentleman and nephew to their family's steward, shows an interest in Beatrice, Mattie's plans teeter on the brink of unraveling. Oliver Bolton has harbored a distant infatuation for Miss Beatrice Rayment, but has always kept his feelings at bay, hemmed in by the limits of his social standing. Now the owner of a modest estate, Oliver finds himself in possession of a newly minted ticket to society's intricate dance. At last, he can pursue the woman of his dreams—except, it seems, his dreams may be outdated. As Mattie attempts to divert Oliver from what she deems would be an imprudent union with her sister, she finds her own heart increasingly ensnared by the charming steward’s nephew. Similarly, Oliver discovers that the woman who most captures his imagination is not Beatrice, but Mattie herself. As the Season draws to a close, Mattie and Oliver must confront an essential question: can they set aside societal norms and their own well-laid plans to listen to the quiet stirrings of their hearts? In this closed-door Regency romance, the anticipated dance of courtship takes unforeseen steps, forcing Mattie and Oliver to decide if their future happiness is worth the risk of an unconventional match. Originally published as part of An Evening at Almack's, a Regency Collection, this edition has been edited and expanded.

Book excerpt: "Do you play?" he asked. She touched the keys and pressed lightly on them. "A little." Her fingers spread out naturally and she closed her eyes as the instrument echoed softly. Demetrius recognized the composition and brought his arm around her so that his fingers rested above hers, gliding them along as she played. Then she suddenly paused and turned to look at him. How confused and lost she looked, but not anymore than he was. Their attraction grew stronger each time they encountered and no matter the dilemma making them take opposition, the animosity couldn't subdue the burning in their hearts. He leaned forward to kiss her when she turned her head downward. Caressing her chin, he raised it so that their lips lightly touched. Then he slowly brought his mouth to hers, prolonging the intense throb in her heart. The softness of her lips lured him in and he pulled her closer. He kissed her softly at first and when he found her tongue, his kiss intensified. Jen wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back harder. Then they withdrew and looked into each other's eyes without an understanding of where they were leading themselves.
