family for years. He’s always had a special, if sometimes strained, bond with
Georgie. But when her name ends up in the betting book at White’s before she’s
even made her debut, he knows no one can protect her quite like he can. If only
she’d stop chasing after the very gentleman who could single-handedly see to
her ruin. * Lady Georgianna Bexley-Smythe has the uncanny ability to remember
nearly everything she’s ever read, and thus knows everything about almost everything.
But as knowledge and experience are not interchangeable, she intends to make
her first Season one of adventure. What could be more adventurous than seeing
London from Lord Haworth’s gas balloon? Now she must avoid Monty long enough to
make Haworth’s acquaintance and beg an airborne adventure.

The Marriage Trap
,
When Miss Patience Findley discovers, at her first ball of her first Season,
just how much her father's scandal has affected her chances of marriage, she
resigns herself to being alone and dying a spinster. That is, until she hears

of desperation, she asks her reprobate cousin to place a bet on her behalf, in
hopes of trapping an unsuspecting gentleman into marriage. * Tristan Wallford,
Lord Swaffham, loves a good challenge. So when his friend, Rowan Findley,
claims that his cousin Patience cannot be cured of her melancholy state,
Tristan lays a bet that he will be the one to cure her. He could certainly use the
money, after all. But as the game begins, Tristan begins to realize that not
only does Miss Findley not need curing, but she might be worth trapping for
himself.

In Jane Charles’s
Devil in My Dreams
, Devlin
Bartlett was never meant to be Viscount Marston, yet he has inherited not only
the title but three younger sisters, all of marriageable ages. He soon learns
that thwarting the French was much easier than playing guardian to three young
ladies, and decides the simplest solution is to marry them off. * Louisa
Whitton needs to find a husband of her own choosing before Christmas. At her
sister’s house party, she meets the perfect gentleman—thus foiling her
grandfather’s plans. However, Marston refuses to even think about courting her
until his sisters are wed, and he has the audacity to ask her to wait. Louisa’s
grandfather will never agree, so she sets out to find the perfect substitute
for Marston, forcing him to choose between his sisters’ future and his own.

In Catherine Gayle’s
To Enchant an Icy Earl
, As
the Earl of Fordingham, Tristan Cavendish has lived by the code his father beat
into him for so long he’s driven everyone in his life away, including his
brother. Now he is alone. Loneliness dictates he must change, so he sets out to
make amends with his only sibling. Alas, his brother seems none too inclined to
hear him out, and a woman who must be a vision from Fordingham’s dreams walks
into his path. Now, more than ever before, he knows he must change his ways or
risk driving her away as well…but how? * Calista Bartlett is on the hunt for a husband—but
one who is nothing at all like the betrayer who was her former beau. When she
sees the Earl of Fordingham across the room at a soiree, she knows she’s found
the very man who is everything her one-time beau was not. Fordingham presents
an icy façade to the world, but Calista discovers a passionate man who kisses
her feverishly and warms her through to the bones. Can she ever convince him to
let down his guard permanently?

In Ava Stone’s
My Lord Hercules
, Miss Miranda
Bartlett is on a mission to locate her missing friend. Determined hoyden that
she is, she’ll do whatever it takes to get the answers she seeks too, even if
that means dressing like a dandy, sneaking into a gaming hell, and surrounding
herself with London’s worst reprobates. However, she didn’t plan on bumping
into a Herculean gentleman along the way. The handsome and honorable Lord
Harrison Casemore immediately thwarts her plans and seems determined to save
her at every turn, making it more than difficult to accomplish her task. * Ever
since Harry Casemore spotted the exotic temptress trying to pass herself off as
a fop, he’s been drawn to her. He hasn’t figured out what she’s after, but he’s
fairly certain he’d sell his soul if she’d just let him help her with whatever
it is.

In Jerrica Knight-Catania’s
A Penny For Your
Thoughts
, Penelope Bartlett has had a rough year, to say the least. She
lost her eldest brother and her father in one fell swoop, and to make matters
worse she had to miss out on her very first London Season. Now she's in the
thick of the Little Season and all she wants to do is run away. It's torture to
watch her siblings fall in love and she's simply not in the mood to make merry
with all of them. Especially when they treat her as if she's still a little
girl in leading strings. 
* Enter Drake Lockwell, Viscount Flitwick. He,
too, is typically eager to escape crowded ballrooms and matchmaking mamas in
favor of his own company in a deserted garden or library. But a chance meeting
in his brother’s garden one night changes everything. Miss Bartlett is young
and impetuous, yet he can't help but fall prey to her charms. Perhaps she will
be the one to finally mend the hole in his heart...

Or will his
secrets be more than Penelope is able to handle?

As a child Jane would more likely
be found outside with a baseball than a book in her hand. In fact, Jane hated
reading until she was sixteen. Her passion for reading came about quite by
accident when out of boredom on vacation she borrowed her older sister’s
historical romance. She fell in love somewhere between Florida and
Illinois and her love for reading never died. 

Jane is lucky enough to be
married to her own personal hero.  Not only does he offer words
of encouragement but has taken over much of the housework so Jane can
have more hours writing. She has also been blessed with two fantastic
daughters and an awesome son, all of which have brought various animals into
the house.  Currently the count is one dog and three cats.
