    About this series

    How can they remain rivals when they’re falling in love?

    As children of two of the most prominent families in the north of England, Gavin Keighley and Rose Denholme have been at odds their whole lives. Both families claim to have been cheated by the Duke of Tereford out of rightful ownership of the sprawling estate that borders their properties.

    When the Duke and Duchess of Tereford come to town to get their estate in order, they invite Gavin, Rose, and their families for a visit to settle the feud once and for all. But as jealousy takes root, all the town families begin to compete for the attention of the duke and duchess, forcing Gavin and Rose to choose between fighting for their family interests—or fighting for the love that’s blossoming between them.

But Cecelia won’t accept a proposal from a man who can’t see how much she cares for him, and James will need to acknowledge his feelings for Cecelia quickly lest he lose her to another suitor.

      Finding an earl is the last thing on her mind At the end of the London season, Harriet Finch reluctantly travels to her wealthy grandfather’s country house. His rigid rules for whom she should marry spark her rebellious spirit. Yearning for a way to reclaim her freedom, Harriet takes long walks and plots her escape. A handsome rogue from the Travelers camp nearby catches her eye. He may be just the alternative she’s looking for. Rejected by his snobbish, cruelly critical great-grandmother for his American upbringing, Jonathan “Jack” Frederick Merrill, the new Earl of Ferrington, joins a wandering group of Travelers, where everyone is welcome. He will take a look at this estate that has come to him and then, most likely, go back to Boston. But Ferrington Hall has an intriguing, flirtatious neighbor who accepts him as he is. Soon, Harriet is all he can think about. Is their love strong enough to withstand the secret he’s been keeping? Time is running out, and a missing earl can’t hide forever …

      What’s a lady to do when the man standing in her way may also be the man of her dreams? Henry Deeping and Kate Meacham seem to clash every time they meet. Kate is frustrated by the change in her status following the death of her grandfather, a legendary figure in diplomatic circles. As a single woman, she is now effectively nobody, even though she knows everyone and has made important contributions to diplomacy in the past. Henry, just joining the Foreign Office, is wondering how to make his mark. They agree to an exchange—Henry will serve as Kate’s escort to important events to which she is no longer invited, and Kate will introduce him to the important people she knows so well. But when they spot a foreign agent they thought had been apprehended, they decide to investigate on their own, enlisting a motley group of friends and relying on each other to uncover the truth …
