A Governess born a Lady, a Marquess with unruly sisters, a conspiracy of parents, a plot to steal an inheritance, a last-minute rescue, a love which overcomes all.

Already on the verge of spinsterhood, The Honourable Miss Georgiana Wingfield, a Viscount’s daughter, has decided to take her fate into her own hands. Becoming a governess seems the best way to save her family from penury, and allow her sisters a Season, as well as allowing Georgiana to avoid the unwanted advances of the cousin who inherited her father’s title. It seems a sensible plan, until the unpleasant new title holder continues his pursuit, much to Georgiana’s confusion.

Edward Calthorpe, Marquess of Billington, did not realize what an insurmountable task his father had set for him when he agreed to stay at Thistlewayte Hall and oversee his younger siblings’ care while his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Thistlewayte, took the eldest three of his sisters to London for the Season. The twin terrors he has been left to deal with — Marjory and Millicent — are determined to avoid any attempt to teach them… anything…. Edward is at his wits’ end when he writes, begging his parents to send yet another governess, for his sisters have caused the most recent one to depart. But the governess they send is nothing like the other governesses, and Edward is fascinated. As Miss Wingfield begins to work miracles with his sisters, Edward finds himself more and more drawn to her - but Lord Gainsbourne, the distant cousin who constantly calls on Miss Wingfield, makes Edward hesitate.

Why does Lord Gainsbourne constantly return when Miss Wingfield never seems happy to see him? Is there some arrangement in place, which Edward cannot, honourably, impinge upon?

As Georgiana becomes ever more desperate to discover the truth, and free herself from the attentions of her odious cousin, she is also more and more aware of the Marquess who is her employer. Can she unravel the puzzle, and save herself before she is trapped? Or will ruin come to everything she cares for, and steal her chance at love?

Will Edward discover the truth in time to help Georgiana? Or will he lose the woman he has come to love to the machinations of the unscrupulous Lord Gainsbourne?

Author's Note: This book was previously released in the Regency Missives and Mischief collection.

A Viscount’s volatile daughter, an Earl deceived, a wild rumour, a threat to everything they hope for, a love worth fighting for against all odds.

The Honourable Miss Susan Wingfield, the practical and somewhat temperamental second daughter of the late Viscount of Gainsbourne, never believed in love at first sight… until she shared a dance with the Earl of Seabury at the Thistlewayte Hall Yuletide Ball. By the end of the night, Lord Seabury seemed rather enamoured of Susan, as well - or so she thought.

Neville Hastings, the Earl of Seabury, had every intention of pursuing Miss Wingfield’s hand in marriage after she won his heart at the Thistlewayte Ball. She was breathtakingly beautiful and possessed of a depth of feeling he’d never witnessed in any other woman. But before he could put that plan into action, he heard a shocking rumour, which stole his hopes in a moment.

In London, in preparation for her first Season out in society, Susan hoped and expected to have many opportunities to get to know Lord Seabury better – after all, he was her brother-in-law’s best friend! But now, more than a month has passed, and Lord Seabury seems to be avoiding her - she cannot begin to fathom what might have happened. After the way that Lord Seabury piqued her interest, not to mention engaging her affections, at the Yuletide Ball, the fact that he has not called makes no sense.

Until, that is, Susan discovers the same rumour that the Earl heard… and meets the man who declares the rumour true… Is Miss Wingfield truly promised in marriage to another man? Is there any hope of future happiness for Miss Wingfield and Lord Seabury?

Marco Bianchi, the Count D'Asti, wishes for a love match with his sweet English lily, Lady Eugenia, but he feels all too keenly the weight of his duty to his title and the urgent need to deal with crushing debts his father left the Bianchi family in.

Despite them being attracted to one another at first sight, unexpected and ill-intentioned forces will stop at nothing to keep Eugenia and Marco apart.

In a tangle of betrayals and plots, where key moments always seem to happen in the garden, can they unravel the truth, and find their way not only out of the shadow of scandal, but to love?

A painfully shy wallflower pulled into the public eye, a Duke with an overbearing and fiercely meddlesome mother, star-crossed lovers, a feud between families, a social disaster, an unstoppable love that conquers all.

The Honourable Miss Eliza Wingfield has hidden in the shadows since she came out in society - because there she is less likely to be mocked for her too-voluptuous body. But everything changes when the chance overhearing of her conversation results in her being pulled very much into the centre of attention.

Raphe Stewart, the Duke of Elkington, cannot stand the potential brides his meddlesome mother continually thrusts into his path, but when his sister engineers an introduction, he finds himself utterly entranced by the shy and retiring Miss Wingfield.

Unfortunately, Eliza’s sister manages to offend Raphe’s meddlesome mother, the formidable Duchess of Elkington, and she forbids Raphe from pursuing Miss Wingfield. But nothing is as it seems, for Raphe's sister has her own secrets...

When Eliza, the Duke, his twin, her best friend, and more find themselves trapped in a social disaster not of their making, confrontation is inevitable. Will they all find love by Christmas? Or is heartbreak inevitable?
