She stepped into my world like a secret meant only for me… and turned everything I knew into temptation. I was never meant to be anyone—not a lady, not an heiress, and certainly not a woman pursued by a duke.

Suddenly, I’m Letitia Anne Barrington, the lost daughter of a powerful lineage, and every titled gaze either covets my fortune or plots my ruin. Except for him. Philip Ramsbury, the Duke of Wynthorpe, sees something ...

His gaze strikes me like lightning, unraveling the walls I’ve carefully built. Every look from him sends heat through my veins, igniting a fire I can’t control. His stare pulls at something deep ...

He was meant for my sister. So why is it my heart he’s stealing? I never wanted a Season. Never wanted the gowns, the gossip, or the pressure to marry a man I might grow to despise.

"He Stole My Heart—Then Vanished Into the Night." I was raised to be the perfect lady—embroidering cushions and curtsying on cue—but all I ever wanted was freedom. One reckless ride under the stars changed everything. I found him bleeding and unconscious in the fields. No name. No past. Just a desperate plea: don’t tell anyone. So I didn’t. We hid him in the old gatekeeper’s cottage. I called him Sebastian. As I nursed him back to health, I fell hopelessly in love with a man who vanished the night we were to run away together. Two years later, he returns—as the powerful Duke ...

With four unruly siblings depending on me, I need a husband—quickly. No fortune, no dowry—just me and the secret I must keep: everyone believes my siblings are my nieces and nephews.

Love? What a ridiculous notion. I, Amelia Edgerton, have seen enough of society’s charades to know that marriage is more about convenience than romance. And me? I’d rather spend my life in a quiet cottage, surrounded by my books, than be shackled to a husband. Of course, my father has other plans. He’s been parading suitors through our doors all season, and I’ve made it my mission to send them running—whether through clever schemes, harmless pranks (with a little help from my mischievous twin brothers), or carefully orchestrated misunderstandings. So far, I’ve succeeded until he...
