Lady Calliope is the most carefree and spirited of all the Bevelstroke sisters. With her fiery, copper locks and adventurous nature, she is determined to make a name for herself. In an effort to pursue her dream of independence, she sets out for the coast of Lyme Regis to search for rare fossils. The problem is a particular viscount who is always in her way… Sebastian Ford, Viscount Blakely, has a certain weakness when it comes to redheads and finds Calliope’s flirtatious personality quite irresistible. His sights are set on her, but she thwarts him at every turn, knowing him to be a complete scoundrel. When he arrives at the seaside town under the pretense that his curmudgeon of a grandfather wishes to take the waters for his health, the lady is furious, but it doesn’t take much persuasion for her to succumb to his charms… Unfortunately, their growing happiness is threatened by the Marquess of Abersheem. He doesn’t believe that Calliope is a good match for his grandson, and devises a plan to tempt Sebastian away. Is the passionate relationship Calliope and Sebastian have built strong enough to persevere? Or will they crumble under the first test of adversity?

Lady Isadora Bevelstroke has always been the most solemn and straitlaced of all of her sisters. But as the eldest member of the family, and with a particular head for business, from an early age she has learned not to distract herself with nonsensical behavior. She is determined to succeed as a woman of independent means, and no one doubts her ability to do so. She is quickly making a name for herself, and with the funds to help ease her entrée into a man's world, she is confident that nothing can stand in her way. There is one man, however, who causes the strangest sensations to course through her… Remington Fletcher, the Marquess of Osgood, has always respected the dark-haired beauty. She is intelligent, mature, and doesn't bother with flirtatious glances to get her way. She is direct and he finds her bold manner quite refreshing. The problem is that he can't seem to charm her into more than a friendly acquaintance. Deciding that he must content himself with a passing fancy, when fate continues to thrust them into each other's path, he realizes that there is quite a bit more to the lady than she wants to let on. She has given up everything at the expense of her own happiness, and he wants to show her that allowing someone to lean on isn't always a bad thing.

Lady Olivia Bevelstroke, the youngest of her half-sisters, has never cared much for the glittering social whirl of London. When her siblings decide to embark on a plan for independence without the strictures of marriage, they assumed she was just as excited about the prospect as they were—only she wasn’t. Olivia prefers the quiet solitude of her books, rather than the company of others, but she misses her father’s estate, Marlington Hall, most of all. There, she felt safe and loved and she is determined to return, whether it’s in the midst of a snowstorm, or if the new heir wants her there or not. Miles Stone, the Duke of Gravesend, is a scarred recluse who wants nothing more than to leave his former life behind, as well as all the unpleasant memories that go along with it. The problem is the lady who has been on his mind ever since he pulled her from the freezing waters of the Thames and saved her life. When fate thrusts him into her path one winter’s night, he is determined to ignore the stirrings of desire within him—until he realizes she has no idea who he is. Not only is it a blow to his pride, but he finds himself reluctant to tell her the truth. When he introduces himself as the new estate manager to the new Duke of Marlington, they embark on an unlikely friendship. But will the lies that separate them destroy it all?

A hilarious send-up of sex, scandal, and the Golden Age of Hollywood by legendary cartoonist Edward Sorel. In 1965, a young, up-and-coming illustrator by the name of Edward Sorel tore away layer after layer of linoleum from the floor of his $97-a-month Manhattan apartment until he discovered a hidden treasure: issues of the New York Daily News and Daily Mirror from 1936, each ablaze with a scandalous child custody trial taking place in Hollywood starring the actress Mary Astor—and the journal in which she detailed her numerous affairs. Thus began a half-century obsession that reached its peak in Mary Astor’s Purple Diary, “a thoroughly charming” (New York Times Book Review, front-page review) account of the scandal in which Sorel narrates and illustrates the travails of the Oscar-winning actress alongside his own personal story of discovering an unlikely muse. Now in a stunning paperback, featuring more than sixty ribald and rapturous original illustrations, Mary Astor’s Purple Diary is the life’s masterpiece of one of America’s greatest illustrators.

Lady Genevieve St. Giles yearns for adventure, something more exciting than her staid, proper life. When she reads about an illicit house party hosted by the Duke of Argyle, she finds the solution to two of her problems—boredom and being consistently overlooked by the duke. Hopefully, with her attendance at this house party, she will finally gain his notice. When she succeeds, it doesn’t go quite as she’d hoped. But determination runs strong in her family, and she will stop at nothing to gain his loyalty—and his love. Cortland Beaumont, the Duke of Argyle, is a loyal member of the Wayward Duke’s Alliance. When Lady Genevieve stumbles into Cortland’s manor after stealing her grandfather’s invitation, coincidentally, the founder of the alliance, Cortland fears that his membership will be revoked if her reputation is ruined. Thus, he approaches the lady with a proposal, which she firmly rejects. A game of cat and mouse ensues, and although Cortland tells himself he’s not chasing after Lady Genevieve because he’s infatuated with her, his heart soon convinces him otherwise.

An independent woman hoping to fulfill a dream. A duke who can’t seem to ignore his attraction to the lady. Together they uncover their heart’s desire. Miss Iona Richards wants one thing in life—to be an independent woman. Her dream is to become a highly reputable landscape architect and create masterpieces that will live on for generations. Thus, she dares to embark on an adventure, leaving her family behind to travel to Burnham-On-Sea where she joins the Seaside Society of Spinsters. The ladies at the boarding house are champions of ladies who wish to eschew the strictures placed upon society and will do their best to help her succeed in her goals. When she is met with opposition from a prospective client, the Duke of Rosewood, she is convinced that if he will just give a woman a chance, she can make his cottage retreat an artistic example of her talents. When she finally gains the opportunity, she has no idea that her heart is the one in danger of change. Thorpe Covington, the Duke of Rosewood, finds more than just Miss Richards’ prints of his gardens to his liking. But he finds that this fierce, gently bred woman is more concerned with digging in the soil than marriage, and at first that seems like an ideal arrangement. But as their attraction begins to develop, he finds himself wanting more from the lady. Knowing that she would never give him anything but one night, he tells himself that is enough. The problem is that he could very well be wrong.
