Synopsis

Lady Penelope Dodge has always followed the rules—until the day she learns she is promised to a powerful duke she does not love. Determined to claim a piece of happiness before duty steals it away, Penelope dares the unthinkable: one night in the arms of Alexander Sutton, the enigmatic and scandalous Earl of Bainbridge. A man she’s adored in secret. A man who has no place in her future.

But one night becomes two. Then three. And soon, each stolen, midnight encounter leaves her aching for more—more of his forbidden kisses and the wicked tenderness he offers her.

As their passion deepens, so does the risk. With Penny’s family’s reputation hanging by a thread and her own heart on the verge of ruin, Penelope must make an impossible choice: honor the duty she was born into… or surrender to a love that could cost her everything.

Laura Lee Guhrke

In this dazzling Victorian romance from a New York Times bestselling author, one unlucky lady believes her fate is finally changing until the rake that broke her heart returns to town.

Third time’s a charm? For Lady Kay Matheson, it had better be. Her first engagement was a failed elopement; the second ruined by gossip about the first.

Just when she’s convinced she will finally make it down the aisle, the scoundrel who broke her heart arrives with his own fiancée.

Devlin Sharpe has finally become a success. He has wealth, connections, and a lovely bride-to-be—and he won’t let an old flame derail all his hard work.

My Inconvenient Duke

★ 3.65

Loretta Chase

USA Today bestselling author Loretta Chase continues her Difficult Dukes series with this charming brother’s best friend second-chance historical romance.

Of all the dukes in all the world, why does it have to be him?

Lady Alice Ancaster needs a husband, and fast, because her reckless brother is going to get himself killed, leaving the dukedom—and her future—in their repellent cousin’s clutches.

The Duke of Blackwood has known Alice since childhood, and they’ve always had a special connection. But years ago he broke it, when he chose a riotous life with his two best friends instead of a reasonable one with her.

The trouble is, the tall, dark, sardonic rogue keeps turning up exactly when needed, and ready—though he sometimes needs a push—to play the hero, if only for as long as it takes.

Being irresistibly drawn to the Wrong Man is not convenient, but when events come to a crisis, Alice has to make a choice. The question is, can she live with it?

An Unrepentant Duke
Simon Broadbent, Duke of Greystoke, never planned to return to England—let alone to the ghosts of his past. But duty demands he take a wife, and the sooner he secures a proper, passionless match, the sooner he can leave again.

A Rule-Breaking Governess

Persephone Forsyth has always been a force of nature—wild, untamed, and utterly unpredictable. Once, she and Simon had been inseparable friends, until life—and mistakes—tore them apart. Now, cast out from the only home she’s known, she takes refuge in the unlikeliest of his London townhouse.

An Explosive Reunion

When fate throws them together once more, old wounds and buried emotions resurface, forcing them into an uneasy arrangement. But as desire sparks and past betrayals linger, neither is prepared for the dangerous pull between them—or the way their carefully laid plans begin to crumble.

Some bonds were meant to be broken. Others refuse to be forgotten. And when the heart is involved, even the safest choices can come at the greatest cost.

Complicate Me

★ 4.01

M. Robinson

It was complicated, it was also just the beginning.
A decision.
A simple choice.
There is always that one moment in life where things could have been different. That one moment where you could have chosen a path that would lead you down a certain road.
A different life.
It was easier to pretend that we were still best friends, and that she was my girl and I was her boy.
Pretending was better than knowing the truth...
I. Ruined. Us.
I had her.
I lost her.
I love her.
All I did was complicate us.
