1.- The Impertinent Miss Bancroft:
Free-spirited Sophy Bancroft has been dismissed from several posts for "impertinence and unauthorized, irresponsible acts." But now, as she begins her seventh attempt as a governess, she vows that, this time, she’ll control her impulsive need to be inquisitive and outspoken. Her resolve is challenged, however, on the very night she arrives at the town house of her new employer, the dashing Viscount Northrop. There, a valuable necklace is missing, and Miss Bancroft feels the thrill of pursuit stir her blood… in more ways than one.
Guardian to his sister’s three rambunctious children, Viscount Lucian Northrop finds himself obliged to engage a governess. Expecting the arrival of a prim and proper miss, he is surprised to encounter the incorrigible Miss Bancroft, whose quick tongue and improper notions have a startling effect on him. Though he knows he ought to dismiss her, he cannot deny that she captivates. And when danger threatens her under his own roof, he realizes he cannot let her go at all–because he’s fallen in love.
2.- The Incorrigible Sophia:
The impertinent Miss Sophia Bancroft is thrilled to be engaged to the incomparable Viscount Lucian Northrop, but at a time when most respectable young ladies would be preoccupied with setting a wedding date and choosing a bridal trousseau, Sophy still has a most un-viscountess-like penchant for solving mysteries. When danger threatens her betrothed, the indomitable investigatrix soon finds herself up to her reticule in intrigue–and she’ll take any risk to protect the man she loves.
As aide to the British Foreign Secretary in perilous times, Lucian Payne has been assigned "a matter of extreme delicacy"– monitoring the movements of Napoleonic spies as they attempt to infiltrate the highest levels of London society. Soon plunged into a tangle of treason, betrayal and murder, the courageous Lord Northrop finds himself in grave danger. Foreign agents are closing in and he can trust no one … except the inimitable lady who wears his ring.

3.- A Madcap Scheme:
A Lively Masquerade — It was a most outrageous scheme–but most necessary if Olivia Fenshawe was to save her brother’s reputation. Cutting her hair and donning his clothes, she daringly assumed his post as secretary to the dashing Earl of Worth–and fervently hoped her irresponsible brother would return before anyone was the wiser. — But when Olivia took a bullet meant for the Earl, her true gender was most unceremoniously revealed. Irked at being duped by a young lady and determined to trap his would-be assassin, the infuriating Worth now demanded that Olivia pose as his fiancee. In return, the Earl would kindly keep his silence regarding the scandalous masquerade. It was an impossible situation for Olivia…and one made more so by the disturbing warmth of her "betrothed’s" touch and the gentle awakening of her own heart.
A Bid for Independence:
Cherry Sinclair had to come to London, not to enter the whirl of the social Season, but to fulfill her dream of becoming a successful concert pianist. Though she eschewed the ton, Cherry found herself embroiled in social difficulties from the moment she reached town…but how was she to know that her very first audition would take place in a house of ill-repute? And why was the mistress of the dashing Duke of Belcourt, the beautiful Lady Aberlaine, doing her best to sully Cherry’s name? And most maddening of all, why was the duke himself always there–with his devastating smile and obliging offers of help–every time Cherry committed a blunder?
