Book One: The Viscount’s Mishap

Masquerade balls are notorious for their fun, adventure, and opportunities to anonymously step a toe slightly over the line of societal correctness for an evening, and Lady Anna Ashworth has dreamed of attending her first for years. A chance encounter, a light flirtation, a dance that’s a bit too close, and the next thing Anna knows she is alone with her mysterious knight allowing him far more liberties than she should ever consider. But when the masks come off at midnight, her dream becomes a nightmare as she realizes her admirer is none other than one of her brother’s closest friends.

Parker Albany, Viscount Morely, despises society affairs and is known for his wild and rakish ways, but a masked ball provides an opportunity for a chance encounter. However, when he realizes who the mysterious woman is that has caught his attention, he reacts badly by scolding her for allowing him to seduce her.

Something about Lady Anna will not leave his thoughts, and he finds himself torn between what he thinks is right and what he knows he wants. But Anna is not so forgiving over his brutal setdown. Can Parker ever make her absolve him of his behavior?

Book Two:  The Duke’s mistake

Jared Ashton Cavanaugh, or Jack to his close friends, or the Duke of Brighton to the rest of society, has always lived as he wants. He loves women, gambling, drink, and raising hell and sees no reason to give up his wild life. But in the process of trying to thwart the only man who comes close to the duke’s rakish ways, he makes a mistake.

Jack playfully absconds a lady right from his rival’s clutches and spends three days and nights with his prize at his country estate. It soon becomes clear that this is an actual Lady, not to be trifled with in society’s eyes or in the morals Jack’s mother instilled in her son. However, she won’t accept her fate, and Jack finds himself having to win a lady’s heart for the first time in his life.

Book Three:  The Earl’s Misdeed

Trey Harrow, the Earl of Chelmsworth, has never been so furious in his life.

As the Duke and Duchess of Brighton are leaving their wedding, Trey puts his plan into action by kidnapping Jack’s own sister. He sends an ominous missive that simply says, “your sister for mine.”

Lady Lucinda Cavanaugh is terrified as she is thrown blindfolded into a carriage and raced away from her family and friends. When she discovers who her kidnapper is, she is at least assured she will not be physically harmed. But Lucy is also furious that Trey would risk destroying her reputation just to get back at Jack. Can Lucy convince Trey that Jack and Sophie are in love, so he will return her before her situation gets out and she is ruined? Or will Trey find himself with more in common with Jack than he wants to admit?
