"The Academy always comes first . . . which makes marriage to its most formidable adversary an exceedingly inconvenient arrangement.
Well removed from London's more curious eyes, the Benevolent Academy for the Betterment of Young Ladies strives toward one clandestine goal: to distract, disrupt, and discredit men in power who would seek to harm the advancement of women-by appropriate means, of course.
When intrepid newspaper editor Miles Quincy starts to question the school's intentions, the Academy appoints Penelope "Nell" Trewlove, one of their brightest graduates, to put this nuisance to rest. An easy enough mission, she supposes. Or it would be, if Miles wasn't so fascinating-too fascinating to resist-and if Nell's visit to London didn't perfectly coincide with the murder of one of Miles's reporters.
When the inexorable claws of fate trap Nell and Miles in a compromising situation, they agree to an arrangement that will save their reputations while enabling them to investigate the story that led to a man's death, as well as the surprising chemistry between them . . ."

"She had sworn to never fall in love, but one man changed all the rules...
Louisa Morgan never intended to fall in love, so when the stuffiest of men offers to marry her for the sake of convenience, it feels like an offer from heaven itself. Things change, however, and the rigid Duke of Boroux begins to wax poetic, doing his best to win her hardened heart. But love was never to be on the table, and Louisa isn't sure she wishes to play his risky game.
Robert, the Duke of Boroux, tired of society and its demands, decides to take matters into his own hands. Instead of a silly wife only after his title, he will ask a lady who knows her own mind and may just be the perfect woman to become his duchess. But when things beyond his control change his perception of what a marriage should look like, his entire world is turned upside down. Now his greatest struggle is to convince the woman he is falling in love with to love him back.
What will happen when two obstinate people are on opposing sides and neither will relent?"
"Sleep. Something Henry longs for yet cannot seem to attain.
It had never been the case before, but since his younger sister, Louisa, has been out in society, he is plagued by nightmares of failure. And to top it all off, an old acquaintance has asked for his assistance in watching out for another young lady during her first season. He should say no. But his good nature will not allow it.
Soon after arriving in town, Violet discovers that her brother-in-law has arranged for another man to keep an eye on her. Though initially embarrassed by the revelation, when Violet sees how much Lord Wood does for others, and not for himself, she decides to help him instead. A rumor or two could aid the cause in his search for a lady. Only Lord Wood does not know of her secret scheme, and would likely not approve of her methods if he did.
But what happens when they gain feelings for the one they are supposed to be helping?

No one betrays the Academy. But now Euphemia must decide: break the rules for her enemy, or let the rules break her heart.
On the outskirts of London sits a seemingly innocuous institution with a secretive aim-train young women to distract, disrupt, and discredit the patriarchy. Outraged by a powerful lord's systematic attack on women's rights in Parliament, the Academy summons its brightest-and most bitter-pupil to infiltrate the odious man's inner circle. A deal is struck: bring down the viscount, and Miss Euphemia Flite will finally earn her freedom.
But betting shop owner Gabriel Royce has other plans. The viscount is the perfect pawn to insulate Gabriel's underworld empire from government interference. He's not about to let some crinoline-clad miss destroy his carefully constructed enterprise-no matter how captivating he finds her threats.
From the rookeries of St. Giles to the ballrooms of Mayfair, Euphemia and Gabriel engage in a battle of wits and wills that's complicated by a blossoming desire. Soon Euphemia realizes it's not the broken promises to her Academy sisters she should fear. . . . It's the danger to her heart."

"'And do not worry,' he said, giving her a knowing glance. 'The hand is purely a formality. There shall be no touching.'
Bridget has learned not to trust an easy smile or flattering tongue, and Lord Archibald has both in spades. To make her time with him at Brookside Manor more tolerable–and to use it to her benefit–she agrees to do one activity with him every day in exchange for a fact about their host, Lord Eaton. However, she will only agree on one condition: there must be no touching of any kind.
Archie is used to young women swooning whenever he is near, so Miss Hall's obvious reticence intrigues him. He has never had to prove himself and is more than willing to try to win her over. Much to his chagrin, his efforts only seem to make him look foolish while in her company.
When a woman once scorned refuses to fall victim to charm, and a man of leisure finds himself falling short at every turn, a hilarious battle of wills ensues.

Now, his plan to pursue the daughter of a duke is quickly crumbling before his very eyes... and not just because of Miss Carrow's meddling. Miss Carrow herself begins to prove to be an unwanted and unplanned distraction.
Will either opponent succeed? Or will they stumble upon something deeper as they spend more and more time in each other's company?
