Description

An inexperienced earl. A determined lady. One scandalous kiss that changes everything.

When Graham Clive unexpectedly inherits an earldom, he’s thrust from his quiet life breeding horses into the chaos of the London Season. He knows how to train a thoroughbred—but navigating ballrooms, gossip, and ambitious mothers? Utter madness. He swore he’d only marry for love and never repeat his father’s mistakes. But his new title comes with ruinous debts and a ruthless creditor who could destroy everything…if he survives.

Lady Diana Armstrong has no patience for swooning or scandal. She’s practical, accomplished, and perfectly capable of securing a sensible match. But the moment she rescues the newly minted Earl of Powis from the marriage mart’s hungry mamas, her carefully laid plans begin to crumble. And when a stolen kiss in a rain-soaked garden leads to a very public betrothal, the two are swept into a marriage neither expected—and neither can resist.

As passion flares and secrets close in, Graham must find a way to protect his new wife from the danger shadowing them both. Because falling in love may not be the biggest challenge they face…

A spicy, swoonworthy Regency romance full of witty banter, emotional tension, and a hero worth losing your reputation for.

Romancing the Ton:

Brought together by friendship stronger than society’s rules, these young women refuse to face the London Season alone. They share secrets, laughter, daring schemes—and, against all odds, each will discover a love story of her own.

Every novel can be read as a standalone romance but read them all to experience this chosen “family” cheer, meddle, and champion one another through heartbreak and happily-ever-afters.
