It's a game of instruction and seduction. But who's teaching who?The London Season is not for Lady Victoria Worthingham. After a disastrous marriage that lasted no more than six weeks, she's sworn off men forever. But that doesn't mean she can't help her brother's best friend find his perfect match. It should be simple...unless she falls in love with him first, of course...Marquess Albert Kester is everything ladies aren't looking for in a husband-socially awkward and bumbling as a debutante at her first ball.

Unless he can convince Victoria to stop seeing him as a project and start seeing him as a man, that is...She's determined to see him happily settled. All he wants is her. Only one outcome is certain in this game.Rules will be broken...and if they aren't careful, so will their hearts...

They're complete opposites. Society would never approve. But that doesn't stop them from wanting more...Greyson Everett, future Duke of Derby, has been exiled. Cut off financially and banished to the country by his disapproving father, he's expected to repent and work like a commoner. If he has any hope of getting back to his real life, he'll have to stay the course-and stop kissing his employer's bossy, opinionated, and entirely too lovely daughter. It should be easy. But it's not...Hailey Woodville is grateful for all the hands that make light work of the chores on her father's modest estate. Well, she's grateful for most of them.

Unfortunately, she cannot...But soon, Greyson will need to determine if the price of happily ever after with Hailey is one that he's able (and willing) to pay-and Hailey will need to decide if she can forgive Greyson the sins of his rakish past...

The game is on, and she intends to fight dirty. But then again, so does he...Duke Dillon Viscount Leigh has secrets. The fact that his estate is nearly broke is merely one of them. So, he needs to marry an heiress and fast. The house party would've been the perfect place to find one, too-if only a certain noisy, stubborn, and entirely too beautiful miss hadn't made it her mission to thwart him.Isla Woodville liked Lord Leigh when she met him. But that changed the moment she overheard his requirements for a bride. Well, if he thinks he's going to marry an heiress for nothing more than her deep pockets, he's in for a rude awakening, because Isla will not let him get away with such cruelty. And she'll enjoy every minute she spends ruining his not-so-noble intentions.But when a kiss as passionate as it is untimely brings their game of cat and mouse to a fiery tipping point, Duke is forced to offer marriage to the last woman he ever expected-Isla. Is happily ever after even an option for two sworn enemies? Duke and Isla are about to find out...

Speak of the duke and he shall appear...Julia Woodville knew the kiss she'd shared with Lord Cyrus Franklin, known rake, couldn't have meant as much to him as it had to her. And he proved her right by leaving London and marrying another. But now he's back, and this time, she's not about to let him anywhere near her heart...Leaving Julia behind was one of Cyrus's greatest regrets. But even now, pursuing her is out of the question. As a widower who must re-marry well to safeguard his daughter's future, his own desires must be stifled. Even if pretending to be nothing more than her friend nearly destroys him...But when Julia is almost compromised by a fortune-seeking suitor, Cyrus must protect her in the only way he knows how-by marrying her. Can their tentative union survive when Cyrus's dark secrets are revealed? And more importantly, will Julia be able to forgive him?

He can't deny her anything...except maybe his heart...Ashley Woodville didn't mean any harm when she broke into Grady Kolten's office. It was only a dare from her friends. She wasn't supposed to get caught. And she certainly wasn't supposed to talk the notorious gaming hell owner (and disturbingly sexy rogue) into showing her London's wilder side. Falling for him? Also not part of the dare. But she did it anyway. All of it...Grady has no interest in indulging the whims of a bored (if admittedly alluring) debutante. But the idea of her stumbling inadvertently into danger doesn't sit well with him, either. So, he'll take part in her ridiculous escapades and do his best to keep his emotional distance. It should be easy, considering how entirely unsuitable they are. Too bad he can't seem to remember any of that when she's in his arms...She's never met a challenge she wouldn't accept. But will the walls around Grady's heart-and the dark secrets of his past-be too much for even the daring Ashley to conquer?

If he won't give her his heart, she'll just have to steal it...Tatum Chance, Duke of Romney, wants nothing to do with love. So, getting married was the last thing he had planned. But when an innocent miss is seen mistakenly stumbling into his room while he is ensconced in a bath, he's left with little alternative. Well, he might've been forced into marriage, but no one can make him surrender his heart-not even his new bride. No matter how utterly tempting she is...Millie Woodville wanted nothing more than to find a love match when she came to London for a Season. Instead, she found herself wed to a grumpy, quarrelsome, and unnervingly handsome man. But Millie isn't one to give up easily, so she'll do whatever is necessary to make the most of her new marriage. Her husband will adore her. Even if she has to become a seductress to make it happen...Will this battle of wills-and hearts-end in happily ever after, or devastation?

Surrendering to the Duke will be easy. Not losing her heart to him is another matter entirely...Miss Lila York should have refused her sister's request. But since she didn't, she's now in the unfortunate position of traveling to London, pretending to be her sister, and rejecting a man-a man she's long coveted from afar for herself. If only saying no was as easy as everyone seems to think...Knox King knew it was time to set aside his rakish ways and finally settle into marriage. Miss York, the season's diamond, would be a perfect bride. But it's clear she's not being totally honest with him. And if there's one thing he can't abide, it's a liar...even if she's the most desirable liar he's ever met...When secrets are revealed and truths are spilled, is happily ever after even possible for Knox and Lila? Or will their potential future crumble to ashes before their eyes?

To get her happily ever after, she's ready to do something reckless...Miss Harlow York has been planning for her second season in London for months, and she's finally ready to achieve her goal: winning the heart of the elusive Earl Kemsley. It won't be easy, but she's more than up for the challenge. And one thing is certain. He'll have no idea what hit him...Lord Kemsley isn't interested in love or marriage. The bachelor life is for him. But that doesn't mean he'd deny others the opportunity. So, when the delectable Harlow asks for his help winning another gentleman's heart, he's all in. He has nointention of falling for her himself. That's the plan, at least...He's determined to remain a bachelor. She's determined to change his mind. Let the battle of wills-and hearts-begin...

When the past and present are standing in the way of happiness, it'll take brazen act to save the day...Miss Reign Hall has resigned herself to being a spinster. Her disastrous season in London left her with little opportunity (or desire) for anything else. But when she's offered a governess position, she knows it's her best chance for a fresh start away from small country village life. Too bad her new employer turns out to be the man who once destroyed her faith in love and romance...The last thing Bellamy Davion wants is scandal. He's had plenty of that since his wife abandoned him. His focus now needs to remain on being the best single father he can be. Which is why he tells himself he absolutely must keep his mind (and hands) off the lovely Reign. If only he had listened to his own advice...Finding their way to back to each other won't be easy...or scandal free. When all is said and done, is a happily ever after worth the potentially ruinous cost?
