Synopsis:
Lady Sophie's Society Splash
The youngest of the infamous Talbot sisters scandalized society at the Liverpool Summer Soiree, striking her sister's notoriously philandering husband and landing him backside-first in a goldfish pond. And we thought Sophie was the quiet one...
When she finds herself the target of very public aristocratic scorn, Sophie Talbot does what she must to escape the city and its judgment--she flees on the back of a carriage, vowing never to return to London...or to society. But the carriage isn't saving her from ruin. It's filled with it.
Royal Rogue's Reign of Ravishment!
The Marquess of Eversley was espied descending a rose trellis--escaping an irate Earl and his once-future countess. No lady is safe from Eversleys Engagement Ending Escapades!
Kingscote, the Marquess of Eversley, has never met a woman he couldn't charm, a quality that results in a reputation far worse than the truth, a furious summons home, and a long, boring trip to the Scottish border. When King discovers stowaway Sophie, however, the rip becomes anything but boring.
War? Or More?
He thinks she's trying to trick him into marriage. She wouldn't have him if he were the last man on earth. But carriages bring close quarters, dark secrets, and unbearable temptation, and suddenly opposites are altogether too attractive...
Anyone who orders a signed, print copy of the book from WORD Bookstores will get a gorgeous printed copy of this map!

*Excerpt*
Sophie would want love. She’d want it pure and unfettered, given freely, along with all its trappings. She’d want the marriage and children and happiness and prom- ise that came with it.
King could see it, the life she wanted. The line of little girls, blue-eyed and brown-haired, in love with books and strawberry tarts. For a moment, he imagined them smiling at him the way their mother did, filled with happiness and hope.
For a moment, he let himself believe he might be able to give it to her.
But she would want love, and he would never be able to give it.
He didn’t have it to give anymore. And those children, they would never be his.
He set her down on the edge of the fountain, coming to his knees, as though she was Ariadne and he the Minotaur, worshipping at her feet, adoring her even as he knew she could not survive in the labyrinth, and he could not survive beyond it.
“Tell me about last night,” he said softly, looking up at her, his hands at the hem of her skirts.
“What—” She caught her breath as his fingers explored the skin of her ankles. “What about it?”
“I hated it,” he said. “I hated stopping.”
She pressed her lips into a thin, straight line. “I hated that you stopped.”
His hands were beneath her skirts, pushing them back, farther and farther, up and over her knees. He pressed his lips to the inside of her knee, swirling his tongue there, loving the little gasp of surprised pleasure that came at the touch.
“I hate that I will have to stop today, as well."
