The award-winning author of The Reunion continues her dazzling new series with a novel of
one woman’s fall from saint to sinner . . .
Lucy Betancourt’s future looks bleak. The daughter of an ailing
vicar in a village with no eligible bachelors, her only hope is to find
employment as a governess or companion. As she helps her childhood friend, the
new Duchess of Worley, through her pregnancy, the ever-practical Lucy makes her
plans. But life—in the way of the dashing Bex Brantwood—has something else in
store for Lucy…
Upon meeting Bex, the duke’s cousin, Lucy offers herself up to
him. But Bex is no family man looking for a governess. And Lucy is not exactly
mistress material. Still, the misunderstanding ends in a kiss neither can
forget . . .
Bex finds the proper vicar’s daughter and her most improper
proposal endlessly amusing—and attractive. But, saddled with debt, he’s in no
position to keep a woman, much less marry one, which is what a woman like Lucy
deserves. Little does he know that even with her reputation at stake, Lucy will
take the biggest gamble of her life by following her heart—straight into his
arms . . .

In this thrilling romance from award-winning author Sara
Portman, the illegitimate son of a nobleman and a woman on the run chase their
fate on the London Road . . .
According to his father’s terms, Michael Rosevear’s duty is to
be ignored—until such time as he is useful. Now that the earldom is in need of
funds, Michael is to be sold off in marriage to the daughter of a crass but
wealthy merchant willing to pay for any connection to nobility—even one from
the wrong side of the blanket . . . En route to his fate in London, Michael
does not plan to board an extra passenger. Yet there is something in the young
miss’s desperate plea that tugs at his conscience—though he is certain her
story is a fabrication . . . Juliana Crawford has fled her father’s cruel home.
Using a false name to evade pursuit, she must find a private traveler with whom
to complete her escape. Chance matches her with a dark and wounded young lord
who guards his own secrets just as carefully. The unlikely pair embark on a

to question whether to part at their destination—or change course entirely. . .
