"A fan favorite from New York Times bestselling author Candace Camp, originally published in 2009.
Lady Francesca Haughston has given up on romance for herself, finding passion instead in making desirable matches for others. So it seems only fair, when she learns she'd been deceived into breaking her own long-ago engagement to Sinclair, Duke of Rochford, that she now help him find the perfect wife.
Of course, Francesca is certain any spark of passion between them has long since died—her own treatment of him saw to that. The way Sinclair gazes at her . . . well, that's merely practice for when a younger, more suitable woman catches his eye. But soon Francesca finds his lessons in love scandalously irresistible—and a temptation that could endanger them both."
"An innocent scheme leads a charming young lady into a deceitful trap in the New York Times bestselling author's 'delightful' Regency romance (Publishers Weekly).
Lady Calandra should have suitors beating down her door. But her overprotective brother, the Duke of Rochford, has managed to scare off every suitable gentleman. Every man except the mysterious Earl of Bromwell, that is. Callie finds herself drawn to the enigmatic earl, despite her brother's protestations.
In defiance of her brother, Callie devises a plan to see Bromwell again, enlisting the help of matchmaker Francesca Haughston. But when shadowy secrets about the duke and the earl come to light, it may be too late for Callie to see that she's walked straight into a trap."
"A roguish earl with a mysterious past may be the perfect match for a sharp-tongued lady in this New York Times–bestselling author's Regency romance.
Lady Irene Wyngate swore she'd never marry, keeping suitors at bay with her caustic tongue. But there's one man she can't scare: Gideon, long-lost heir to the Earl of Radbourne. Kidnapped as a child, Gideon grew up tough on the London streets. And though he's been restored to his family, he's still more at home in gambling dens than stately ballrooms.
When matchmaker Francesca Haughston asks Irene to help civilize Gideon for marriage, she agrees—but only reluctantly. After all, he is a true rogue with a dubious past. A handsome rogue, she has to admit, but as she begins to yield to love, wicked family secrets come to light . . . with devastating consequences for the reluctant lovers."
"Cambridge, 1895. A frozen river and a fall that changes everything.
When Virginia, daughter of famed American soprano Rosanna Bailey, tumbles on the ice of the frozen River Cam, she is steadied by photographer's assistant Charlie Meadows. Their meeting is brief, yet unforgettable. Charlie is shy, and Virginia's life is already too full.
As Rosanna's performances dazzle snowbound Cambridge society, Virginia and Charlie begin to form an unexpected bond. But Rosanna's sudden summons to replace a leading soprano in a career-defining performance threatens to part them for good.
Meanwhile, in Paradise Place, the Venables sisters set themselves the impossible task of raising funds for a trip to the opera, while also unravelling the romantic tangle of a cellist, his furious fiancée, and a lady he once met on a train. Blossom the cat, of course, is determined to help.
From the quiet winter streets of Cambridge to the roar of a Covent Garden audience, The Diva's Daughter is a tender, atmospheric Victorian romance about love, loyalty, and daring to take center stage in your own life."
"New York Times bestselling author: A society matchmaker is put to the test . . . 'Camp delivers another beautifully written charmer.' —Publishers Weekly
No longer in the first blush of youth and without a marriage portion, Miss Constance Woodley can scarcely imagine why one of the leading lights of London society should take an interest in the likes of her. But under her benefactor's guiding hand, she's transformed into a captivating creature who catches the eye of the handsome, charming, and ever-so-slightly notorious Lord Dominic Leighton.
And before the shocked eyes of the entire ton, the 'nobody' and the rakish viscount show that even in the heartless world of the marriage mart, when love is at stake, all bets are off . . .
'[A] delightful, Regency-era variation on the Cinderella theme.' —Booklist"
"Cambridge, 1896. When gifted mathematician Grace Marshall is thrown into poverty by the sudden loss of her distinguished father, marriage seems to offer the best hope of security. The obvious candidate agrees; their union would boost his professional reputation as well as offering Grace safe respectability. But Grace's ally at the college, Miss Froment, has taken against this suitor and recruits the Moth Agency in a campaign of engagement prevention.
Enter Daniel Hollingdale, a musician widely condemned as a hothead whose prank theft of a precious statue has led to disgrace and punishment. His future career under threat, Daniel needs to persuade the college and his family that he is now capable of serious study. Grace is the only tutor who can help him. Grace, however, has already embarked on her own unlikely career as a fashion journalist. Learning the modern skill of typewriting, she quickly stumbles across corruption in the running of a nearby workhouse, and soon becomes involved in the fate of three abandoned children.
Discover if Grace and Daniel can overcome both scandal and romance to find their own heartwarming conclusion when you join them in this gentle and witty Victorian romance."
"The brilliant young professor is in need of a wife, but definitely not this one.
Professor Theo Watt needs a suitable wife, or so his mother believes. His dazzling career as a naturalist leaves no time to find one, so he grudgingly defers to her matchmaking. Amidst a string of disappointing candidates, he unexpectedly finds himself charmed by a passing young woman who sacrifices her pretty dress to join him in the muddy rescue of a fish.
Slow to trust, Ida Moss hides the scandal that has blighted her past. She has long since abandoned all hope of her own happiness, caring for her nephew and scraping the barest of livings. Once he knows her secret, any gentleman with a reputation to uphold will, she assumes, condemn and avoid her.
Can a balmy summer in a beautiful university city, a fish, a wooden acorn and a sudden shower of rain work the magic that will encourage this unlikely pair to face down social convention and find a future in each other's arms?
An Utterly Unsuitable Lady is the delightfully witty first book in the Moth Agency Romances series. If you like engaging characters, vivid period settings, and stories based in truth, then you'll adore Lucy Greenhill's sweet tale."

"Magic, Mayhem, and a Sorcerer’s Smoldering Stare—Who Knew Regency Romance Could Be So Wickedly Enchanting?
Elizabeth Bennet never expected to brew love potions by day and cross spells with an insufferably handsome sorcerer by night. But in Longbourn Hollow, where gossip is as potent as magic, nothing stays simple for long.
When the wealthy and mysterious Mr. Darcy arrives at Netherfield Hall, his raw magical power sends ripples through the sleepy town. Elizabeth can’t deny the sparks that fly—whether they stem from irritation or something far more dangerous. But Darcy’s cold arrogance isn’t the only thing haunting her. A charming warlock with a shadowy past seems all too eager to win Elizabeth’s trust—and perhaps her heart.
