A misanthrope who only wants to be left alone…
Beckett is an earl, and shouldn’t that be enough? A loner in Parliament, Beckett does his best for the downtrodden, but even that gives him no satisfaction. When his nephew comes of age, Beckett can hand everything over and wink out of existence, as if he was never there. But Beckett’s best mate isn’t having it. One drunken night, the two friends end up at Mrs. Dove-Lyon’s gambling den, where his friend stakes his entire inheritance to win a chance at love for Beckett. With gritted teeth and a glowering countenance, Beckett complies.
Nell has many secrets, but only one of them deadly. Over a decade ago, Mrs. Dove-Lyon protected her, giving her a new identity—a new life—in London. The price? A future favor. But when the favor comes due, it upsets Nell’s careful routine, which is nearly intolerable. Then when he arrives, this Lord Beckett, seems to have all the conversational skills of a shriveled turnip.
But what if the simple widow is more than what she seems?
Should Beckett pursue her secret—which would put her at risk for the hangman’s noose, not a countess’s vows—or, if he cares for her, should he let her past remain in a fog? But how can a Peer be confronted with an injustice and not investigate? A man has gone missing. And only Nell knows the truth.

Marriage is the only way to keep Kat’s lady safe…
When her mistress is put out of her childhood home, Kat goes too. She may be only Miss Ellen’s maid, but she has a plan to secure a future for them both. But first, she needs to give Miss Ellen a male escort, for propriety’s sake: Kat herself, dressed as a footman, complete with a fine pair of boots.
Jake has been looking after his employer since they both came home for the war. The captain drinks too much and gambles too much. And now he has come to the attention of the Black Widow of Whitehall. Could a wife be in the offing? Perhaps a wife is just what the captain needs.
