First up, The Countess. This story follows Christiana, and her tale of not-so-happily-ever-after. After enduring a year of marriage to a controlling, belittling , demanding man, she is not all that broken up when she finds him dead in his study. Imagine her surprise when her dead husband shows up at the ball that evening! Richard Fairgrave, Earl of Radnor, has been in America since the failed attempt on his life. He has come back to England seeking revenge on the twin who robbed him of his name and title. The search for a killer will bring Christiana and Richard closer and closer, but will they catch the villain before another attempt succeeds?

Next is The Heiress. Suzette is desperately seeking a husband. Her father has gambled them into a scandal again, and Suzette is determined to marry a poor man who will allow her to use her dower to pay off the debts. Her first encounter with Daniel Woodrow is all it takes for her to propose. He's handsome, titled, single, and in need of funds. But Daniel has not been entirely truthful with Suzette. Can he keep up the lie long enough for them to reach Gretna Green? And are a series of near misses just a coincidence or are they being targeted for something more sinister?
