    They handed him a title, but she was the offer he couldn't refuse.Boston businessman, Nathaniel Lawrence doesn't have a dime he didn't earn himself. So when he finds out that he's the long-lost heir to a penniless dukedom in England, it's easy for him to dismiss the undeserving fortune. Why pour money into a crumbling castle and meaningless title when his eye is set on the future in America? But when the current duke throws his lovely daughter's hand in to sweeten the offer, Nathaniel rethinks his rash decision. He knows a good business deal when he sees one, and marriage to Lady Charlotte, the jewel of the ton, is the very best.With a squandered dowry, Lady Charlotte only has one option that will keep her-and her father-living in the custom befitting their station. Marrying her father's heir would make her a future duchess and allow her to retain control of her family's ancestral home. A bargain is set. Nathaniel will accept the title and all the connections that come along with it, living the majority (or all) of his time in America, while Charlotte gets to raise their future son on their estate where he can learn to be a true English duke, cementing the family line for another generation. On paper, the agreement is brilliant and convenient, but in person, it's something that neither of them expected.Because the more Charlotte spends time with her new, brash husband, the more his enterprising and entrepreneurial American spirit rubs off on her. Soon, she begins to realize that maybe she didn't need a knight in shining armor to come and rescue her family from bloodthirsty creditors and a title in abeyance.Maybe she only needed a good idea, some alpacas, and a belief that she is more than just another passive branch on her ancient illustrious tree for a male heir to use to climb to the top.The Eglinton Knight SeriesBook 1 - Knight of the Jaded HeartBook 2 - Knight of the Broken HeartBook 3 - Knight of the Wicked HeartBook 4 - Knight of the Bleeding Heart

    Lady Louise, sister of the Marquis of Marlborough, has a secret.At the end of the summer, she plans to set sail for the Sandwich Islands. There she will be able to fulfill her dreams and explore the world as a travel writer. She just has to get through the Eglinton Tournament first. As one of the Queen of Beauty's ladies-in-waiting, Louise has spent the months leading up to the event pretending to be interested as dull aristocrats launch dulled lances into one another while priding themselves on upholding ancient traditions.And none are as dull as Lord Charles, Earl of Somerset. Gorgeous and popular, headstrong and exceedingly proud, he is a medieval warrior come to life in 19th century England who believes all women are damsels and should only speak when calling out in distress. To Louise, he is an aristocrat of the first order, set in his ways and comfortable with the status quo-a relic to be dismissed, not cheered from the grandstand.When fate drives the two together, sparks and tempers fly as they navigate each other's prejudices and personalities, and Louise is confronted with a difficult decision.Can she still set sail knowing that she might be leaving her greatest adventure behind, or will Louise find that knights can have their time and place ... especially in her heart?¿The Eglinton Knight SeriesBook 1 - Knight of the Jaded HeartBook 2 - Knight of the Broken HeartBook 3 - Knight of the Wicked HeartBook 4 - Knight of the Bleeding Heart

    A heart isn't stolen if it's given away...Amelia Driver never shies away from an opportunity, and when the Eglinton Tournament is announced, she recognizes it for the goldmine that it is. A member of one of the most powerful girl gangs in London, Amelia travels to Scotland planning to swindle unsuspecting spectators. Unfortunately for her, she picks the wrong pocket.To appease his son's obsession with knights, Lord Eli, Viscount Barrington, shuttles him to the medieval tournament even though he has much more important things to do-like keep his daughters out of trouble. A young and honorable widower, his life goal is to raise the twins to be upstanding women, pillars of the community. His mischievous daughters, on the other hand, want nothing of the virtuous life.When Eli encounters Amelia with her hands not where they should be, he develops a plan for the brilliant thief to scare his hoyden daughters straight. In exchange for keeping her neck out of the hangman's noose, Amelia must follow Eli back to his estate and teach his daughters about her life of sin and depravity. Eli even thinks she could learn a trade and find honest work. He never expects that he might be the one to learn anything, let alone look forward to Amelia's colorful and unsavory stories.As Amelia sinks deeper into the family life she never knew she wanted, she begins to question if a life of crime is still for her. How could an old widower and his young children be more exciting than her haunts on the streets?When her past comes back to claim her, will Amelia decide that love is worth giving up her independence, or will she learn that good love from a good man is all the freedom she's ever dreamed of?The Eglinton Knight SeriesBook 1 - Knight of the Jaded HeartBook 2 - Knight of the Broken HeartBook 3 - Knight of the Wicked HeartBook 4 - Knight of the Bleeding Heart

    It's all fun and games until someone falls in love.Lover of the Gothic craze sweeping the nation, Miss Georgiana Spence only has one thing on her mind this summer-the Eglinton tournament. Three full days of knights and ladies, dazzling jousting and succulent feasts, the medieval era will come back to life in Scotland, and not even the fact that her obscenely rich father is trying to sell her off for a title can ruin it for her.Well, it's almost ruining it for her.Because Georgina's intended, Lord Edward, Marquis of Marlborough, is anything but chivalrous. The marquis is taciturn and serious and myopic about restoring his estate to its former glory since his father squandered the family fortune. He doesn't have time for the archaic tournament, let alone have any intention of competing in it. That's only for young ne'er-do-well aristocrats who have nothing better to do than spill an exorbitant amount of money on armor and outfits-silly dandies who have no idea about real problems and the sacrifices needed to fix them. Sacrifices like marrying a rich merchant's daughter who clearly loathes him and has no qualms about shuffling her feet to the alter.With time running out for Edward, he decides to take matters into his own hand and get creative for Georgiana's love. A little poetry and a dash of gallantry never hurt anyone. Medieval courting might be just the thing to convince the woman that his buttoned-up ways make him the perfect knight for her. And, together, Georgiana and Edward might find that chivalry isn't dead in the 19th century; it merely looks a little different.After all, everything looks different when two people are falling in love!The Eglinton Knight SeriesBook 1 - Knight of the Jaded HeartBook 2 - Knight of the Wicked HeartBook 3 - Knight of the Bleeding HeartBook 4 - Knight of the Broken Heart
