Introducing the LADIES LEAST LIKELY
THE LADY LEAST LIKELY TO…
…tell anyone about her past, or theirs.
Gwen can’t bear to turn away those who come to St. Sefin’s seeking aid; the crumbling priory gave her shelter when she had nothing else.
But the badly beaten man who just washed up in Newport is the viscount who owns the place–the same viscount who threatened to evict her and those she cares about unless she meets an impossible demand.
At the moment, he can’t remember anything…including his own name.
What’s one more lie?
THE LADY LEAST LIKELY TO…
…meddle in the affairs of a duke.
The illegitimate son of a duke, Malden Grey has learned to live by his wits, and Amaranthe fears his sharp eye will detect that she doesn’t always earn her living by honest means. But when Mal’s young half-siblings turn to Amaranthe for domestic advice, she becomes deeply implicated in life at Hunsdon House, and against her better judgment, Malden Grey steals her heart—even while she’s plotting to steal the Hunsdon MS, an irreplaceable book that can make her fortune.
Amaranthe’s explorations yield a document that changes Mal’s fate, and as they fight together in a court of law to clear her name and establish his identity, they see a path opening to a future together—if they are brave enough to choose it.
THE LADY LEAST LIKELY TO…
…make a suitable bride for an earl.
Ragtag near-orphan Harriette Smythe made a lifetime friend of the young Earl of Renwick the summer she rescued him from bullies in the small village of Shepton Mallet. Eleven years later, grown-up Ren has returned to London with all the polish of his Grand Tour, and Harriette, struggling to establish herself as an artist and help support her eccentric household, wants to call in a favor.
His mother knows what Harriette’s been up to–all of London has seen the racy sketches she made of a visiting diplomat–and while she might bar her from the house, she can’t prevent wily Harriette from climbing through the window. But Renwick as a man is a far cry from the wounded young boy she knew…and the passions he rouses in her are far, far different. But with his disability and her past, there is no way these two can give into the bond that pulls them together…not when his past, and hers, are trying to tear them apart.
THE LADY LEAST LIKELY TO…
…be perturbed by a little madness.
Leda Wroth, lady’s companion, has dedicated her new life into make sure young women aren’t trapped into terrible marriages the way she was. This is all going well until her dead husband turns up in Bath.
Jack Burnham, Baron Brancaster of Holme Hall, isn’t mad—he doesn’t think. And he didn’t kill his wife. But he does need a governess for his daughter, and Leda Wroth seems the woman to help him, even if he suspects she’s running away from something. Even if she raises longings for a life he knows he can’t have.
But how can Jack convince Leda she’s safe with him when Holme Hall holds secrets of its own? And what happens when her ghosts return to haunt them both?
THE LADY LEAST LIKELY TO…
…believe the heir to a marquess would want to marry her.
Leo Westrop is suddenly in line to inherit a marquessate and now he’s the target of every match-making mama in London — including his own. To escape a trap, Leo offers his hand to the nearest woman who seems likely to help him: Lillian Gower, the daughter to a famed antiquarian couple who might be Leo’s ticket to finally launching an expedition of his own.
Lillian is in town to chaperone her cousin and look for publishers to print her florilegium, a study of the lady’s slipper orchid. She’s not looking for romance, but she will accept an escort who can get her into London’s best botanical gardens. The problem is, Leo is charming. And funny. And when he needs an illustrator for his excavation, Lillian offers … herself.
And that’s when the real trouble begins.
THE LADY LEAST LIKELY TO…
…let anyone stand in the way of her destiny.
Eight years ago, a usurping uncle drove Melisende and her father from their beautiful mountain home. Since then, Melisende has had one goal: find the document proving her father the rightful Grand Duke of Merania. The last step of her search brings her to London, where one unexpected obstacle stands between her and her birthright—Philip Devlin.
Devlin will never advance in government through the usual means; he’s Irish, Catholic, and a lesser son. But he’s very good at gathering information, especially sensitive information, especially from women. Melisende of Merania has secrets, and he’s determined to learn them. Even if that means offering her protection against an unknown enemy set on stopping her by any means.
Through ballrooms and alleys, intrigues and surprise attacks, Philip finds Melisende unlike any woman he’s known—a woman worth fighting for. But as her quest leads them to a mountaintop castle to confront a ruthless assassin, Melisende must choose which she loves more: Merania, or Philip.
