Mary Callingsbrooke knows there’s something terribly wrong with her. She reacts in such an unnatural way when she’s close to a handsome gentleman. How will she secure a husband when her potential suitors must be disgusted with her?

At the urging of Charlotte, her widowed cousin, Mary meets the mysterious Mister Smith at the Soho Club. Mister Smith shows Mary that her ‘faults’ are in fact incredibly attractive features. He’s more than happy to marry Mary, but why is this secretive man in such haste?

Hot August Night

Miss Matilda Cleghorn is on a mission to destroy her reputation and avoid an arranged marriage. Her parents have selected some odious noble she's never met, and that simply doesn't fit with Matilda's plans.

One night at the Soho Club ought to do it.
A lifetime of good behaviour has not helped Lord Ioan Davies. He must bear the consequences of his father's gambling addiction and must marry an heiress.

But for what? So he can remain dutiful and his father can keep gambling? No thanks.
It's time Ioan had some wicked fun for a change, and the Soho Club is the prefect place to find it.

Scandalous charlotte

Charlotte, Lady Durham, has a terrible secret that is weighing more heavily upon her by the day. She’d made a deathbed promise to her late husband to keep this from the public, but it’s becoming impossible to honour it.

At least she has the safety of the Soho Club to keep her widow’s secrets.

If Charlotte thought she could have a quiet Christmastide as a widow, she did not count on Brabham, the ever-so-helpful footman whose well-meaning goodwill threatens to expose everything she holds dear.

Weekend at Baron E's

Innocent Jane Bartholomew, dutiful and curious, has just married a Baron more than three times her age. A Baron with grown children who resent her existence, and the threat to their inheritance.

She must bear him an heir as soon as possible, even if that is challenging to achieve.

When the Baron expires at the worst possible moment, Jane, with the help of the most handsome footman she has ever seen, must take desperate measures to keep the truth from the rapacious relatives spying on her every move.

If she doesn't, Jane and all of the staff will end up cast out, penniless.

Will desperation lead to love or disaster?

Duke around and find out

Wallflower Thomasina Burke is all too happy to entertain Lord Taunton during an otherwise dull season, with a series of increasingly bold wagers to add a little spice to the evenings.

There’s no harm, and no likelihood of them making a firm attachment.

Alas, a terrible accident catapults Taunton into new responsibilities - he’s now a duke, and way out of Thomasina’s league.

But Taunton has other ideas about what it means to be a duke, and what it means to have courage. After all, love is worth raising the stakes.

This novella was first published in the multi-author anthology, I Like Big Dukes And I Cannot Lie.

Romancing the stone-cold rogue

Fleeing a party after romantic disappointment, Lady Adelaide Taunton accidentally alights into the wrong carriage.
Alas, there is already a man in there - Harold Learmonth! Adelaide holds Harold responsible for breaking her heart, and the death of her eldest brother in a duel, and wants nothing to do with him.
Alas, scandal ensues when practically all of society witness Adelaide exit Learmonth's carriage.
The only solution is for them to marry, but this is only the beginning of their problems.
Can they each get over their pasts to forge a future together?

This novella follows soon after the romantic adventures of Adelaide's brother, Gerard Taunton, in Duke Around and Find Out.
