When Lady Henrietta Sedley declares her 29th year her own, she has plans. Plans to inherit her father's business, to make her own fortune and to live her own life. But first, she has plans to experience a taste of the pleasure she'll forgo as a confirmed spinster. She does not, however, plan to find the most beautiful man she's ever seen tied up in her carriage and threatening to ruin The Year of Hattie before it's even begun.

When a mysterious stranger finds his way into her bedchamber and offers his help in landing a duke, Lady Felicity Faircloth agrees—on one condition. She's seen enough of the world to believe in passion, and won't accept a marriage without it. Bastard son of a duke and king of London's dark streets, Devil has spent a lifetime wielding power and seizing opportunity, and the spinster wallflower is everything he needs to exact a revenge years in the making. All he must do is turn the plain little mouse into an irresistible temptress, set his trap and destroy his enemy.

When Sophie, the least interesting of the Talbot sisters, lands her philandering brother-in-law backside first in a goldfish pond in front of all society, she becomes the target of very public aristocratic scorn. Her only choice is to flee London, vowing to start a new life far from the aristocracy. Unfortunately, the carriage in which she stows away isn't saving her from ruin. It's filled with it.

Malcolm Bevingstoke, Duke of Haven, has lived the last three years in self-imposed solitude, paying the price for a mistake he can never reverse and a love he lost forever. The dukedom does not wait, however, and Haven requires an heir, which means he must find himself a wife by summer's end. There is only one problem - he already has one.

With the painting now public, Lily has no choice but to turn to the one man who might save her from ruin.

Raised among London's most notorious criminals, a twist of fate landed Adelaide Frampton in the bright ballrooms of Mayfair, where she masquerades as a quiet wallflower-so plain and unassuming that no one realizes she's the Matchbreaker...using her superior skills as a thief to help brides avoid the altar.

With her headful of wild curls and wilder ideas, society has labelled Lady Imogen Loveless peculiar...and doesn't know she's one of the Hell's Belles - a group of vigilantes operating outside the notice of most of London. Thomas Peck is not most of London. The brilliant detective has a keen ability to see things others miss, like the fact that Imogen isn't peculiar...she's pandemonium. If you ask him, she requires a keeper. When her powerful family discovers her late-night activities, they couldn't agree more...and they know just the man for the task.

Grace Condry has spent a lifetime running from her past. Betrayed as a child by her only love and raised on the streets, she now hides in plain sight as queen of London's darkest corners. Grace has a sharp mind and a powerful right hook and has never met an enemy she could not best, until the man she once loved returns. Single-minded and ruthless, Ewan, Duke of Marwick, has spent a decade searching for the woman he never stopped loving. A long-ago gamble may have lost her forever, but Ewan will go to any lengths to win Grace back...and make her his duchess.

After years of living as London's brightest scandal, Lady Sesily Talbot has embraced the reputation and the freedom that comes with the title. No one looks twice when she lures a gentleman into the dark gardens beyond a Mayfair ballroom...and no one realises those trysts are not what they seem. No one, that is, but Caleb Calhoun, who has spent years trying not to notice his best friend's beautiful, brash, brilliant sister. If you ask him, he's been a saint about it, considering the way she looks at him.

Her career in tatters, celebrity photographer Lilah Rose needs somewhere to regroup and start fresh, outside of the spotlight. There's nowhere better to hide than the English countryside, complete with fluffy sheep, rolling hills . . . and Max, the stern, sexy farmer who tends to them. But the lazy days and lush nights with Max aren't as far from the spotlight as Lilah thinks. He isn't simply a farmer—he's also a duke: young, handsome, and powerful . . . and too aware of how a title can dazzle, making the man inside invisible. What's the harm in playing the farmer for a while?

Lady Henrietta har en plan: I år vil hun tage sin fremtid i egne hænder og forfølge sin drøm om at overtage farens forretning. Han har en tåbelig idé om, at hun skal giftes, men Hattie har også en plan for at undgå det – en, der vil give hende en smagsprøve på den lidenskab, alle andre taler om. Alt flasker sig, lige indtil hun opdager en bevidstløs, meget smuk, bagbundet mand i bunden af sin karet. Da Whit vågner for fødderne af Hattie, bliver det begyndelsen på et umage samarbejde.

Perlas y pellizas. Junio, 1823. Cuando una popular revista femenina lo nombra el «soltero más codiciado de Londres», la vida de lord Nicholas St. John, reconocido anticuario, se vuelve bastante más animada de lo que a él le gustaría. Las mujeres casaderas y sus madres quieren darle caza. Algo realmente molesto para un hombre que ha decidido no volver a enamorarse. Por eso, cuando se le presenta la oportunidad de huir de la ciudad, no se lo piensa dos veces.

Una de las reglas sociales más conocidas dice que una joven de buena familia nunca debería acudir a casa de un marqués de mala reputación y pedirle un beso apasionado.

Juliana Fiori es un espíritu apasionado. Es impulsiva, valiente, decidida y poco le importa lo que opine el resto de la alta sociedad londinense, lo que la convierte en el blanco favorito de los cotilleos de la ciudad. Es nada más y nada menos el tipo de mujer que el duque de Leighton querría tener lo más lejos posible. El duque tiene una intachable reputación que proteger, pero Juliana está dispuesta a demostrarle que nadie puede resistirse a la pasión, aunque se trate del mismísimo duque de Leighton, y tiene dos semanas para demostrárselo.

Lady Felicity er mere end træt af at være den glemte skyggetante i Mayfairs selskabsliv. Da hun en aften overilet kommer til at lyve sig til en forlovet i form af hertugen af Marwick, ved hun, at det kun er et spørgsmål om tid, før hendes løgn vil blive afsløret.

Devon ”Devil” styrer Londons underverden med hård hånd, og da han får nys om Felicitys løgn, aner han straks muligheden for at få hævn over hertugen. En hævn, han har drømt om i 20 år … Spørgsmålet er nu bare, om Felicity er villig til at indgå en pagt med djævlen.

Devil lover, at han vil få hertugen til at forelske sig i Felicity, men følelser er ikke så lette at kontrollere. Snart er hans omhyggeligt lagte plan i fare, og han må vælge mellem den hævn, han har ventet på – og den eneste kvinde, han nogensinde har begæret.

Ladyens løgn er den første bog i Bareknuckle Bastards-trilogien, om tre brødre knyttet sammen af en dyster fortid, de ikke kan flygte fra … og kvinderne, som tvinger dem i knæ.

Da quando è stato nominato lo scapolo più affascinante di Londra da una popolarissima rivista, Nicholas St. John non ha avuto pace. Perseguitato senza tregua da ogni zitella in cerca di marito, non vede l'ora di fuggire dalle trappole della mondanità. Ma finisce tra le braccia di una delle donne più determinate e deliziose che abbia mai incontrato.

Irruente e testarda, una vera calamita che attrae guai, Juliana Fiori si rifiuta di giocare secondo le regole della società. A causa del suo carattere impulsivo e ribelle è sempre al centro dei pettegolezzi di tutti i salotti di Londra ed è nata per dare scandalo... è esattamente il genere di donna da cui il duca di Leighton vorrebbe stare lontano... anzi, molto lontano.

Lady Calpurnia Hartwell ha sempre rispettato le regole, ma le è servito solo a rimanere sola e insoddisfatta. E allora ha giurato di ignorarle e vivere la vita trasgressiva che fino a quel momento si era negata. Ma per partecipare a ogni festa da ballo, rubare baci di mezzanotte e altri segreti piaceri, Callie ha bisogno di un compagno. Qualcuno che sia esperto nella trasgressione, qualcuno come Gabriel St. John, marchese di Ralston, affascinante oltre ogni dire, con una reputazione pessima e un disarmante sorriso da canaglia.
