Who declared that every young lady of a certain age must surely wish for a husband? And why must a handsome bachelor, in possession of a fortune, be the obvious candidate simply because he lives next door?
In the quiet countryside of Lincolnshire, Christine Grey is perfectly content with her life of spinsterhood, finding solace in the companionship of her beloved animals. In the tranquil routine of her days, she spends her time with married friends and puts up with her brother, who would try the patience of a saint. Satisfied in her habits and independence, she asks for nothing more.
Sir Alexander Thorne arrives in Horncastle, a newly minted knight and owner of the long-dormant Gracefield Park. His aspirations to prove his worthiness lead him to pursue the life of a country gentleman, and through it, a clash with his pretty neighbor. His arrival stirs well-meaning friends to plans of matchmaking, and skepticism in Christine’s heart.
When circumstances force them into a compromising situation, they have no choice but to face the necessity to wed. Even as they fight against their fate, the connection between them deepens until they find it difficult to ignore. Christine wonders if her hopes for a happy marriage are too presumptuous, particularly when he had been forced to offer for her in the first place. Alexander must grapple with his own insecurities as he strives to be the husband a woman as worthy as Christine deserves.

Sowerby, England, 1802. Miss Genevieve Wilde—a magistrate’s daughter and independent heiress—is determined to meet life’s challenges all on her own, just as her late-father had taught her. So when her father’s pocket watch is stolen, she will do anything to get it back, especially when the local authorities prove incompetent. Upon reading an advertisement in the paper, she takes a chance and contacts a thief-taker to find the watch. It’s a choice Ginny regrets when former Bow Street officer Jack Travers arrives on her doorstep.

Patience Whitford spent the last two seasons watching her elder sisters make grand matches. She is thoroughly apprehensive with the notion of being limited by marriage. But that seems like an inconsequential concern with no prospects on the horizon to follow in her sisters' footsteps. And to make matters worse, she is uncommonly jealous of all of the military officers she's befriended and their grand adventures. When Major Ashley Stuart is assigned to investigate some petty crimes near his brother's estate in Greenwich, it soon becomes apparent that there is something much larger going on.

Kate Matcham needs a fortune or a husband. She wants neither. With a tainted inheritance in the balance, she receives one offer to become a scoundrel's mistress and another offer of a marriage of convenience. Before resigning herself to a choice, she accepts the invitation to visit a childhood friend, considering it a last hurrah before embarking on a bleak future. The visit goes sideways when she falls for the gentleman her friend intends to marry, a man well out of Kate's league—and one who seems to be hiding something.

When Persephone Lancaster receives a marriage proposal from the ill-tempered Duke of Kielder, she refuses - and then reconsiders. The obscene sum of money he's offering Persephone would save her family from ruin. With her characteristic optimism, she travels to the far reaches of Northumberland to wed a greatly feared stranger. Lodged deep in a thick forest infested with wild dogs, the Duke's castle is as cold and forbidding as the Duke himself, a man with terrible scars on his body and his soul.

As a young woman, Leah Penn-Leith fell hopelessly in love with Captain Fox Carnegie—the only irrational mark on her decidedly sensible life. Fox, unfortunately, did not return her regard. Their story should have ended there—Fox left for India and Leah returned home to Scotland to rear her much younger brothers. Twenty years later, Fox appears on Leah's doorstep—older, scarred, and world-weary—proposing a marriage of convenience between them.
