In the first novel of Maya Rodale's stunning new series, an American heiress must learn to navigate London society and an infuriatingly irresistible rake . . . Lord Darcy is the quintessential Englishman: wealthy, titled, impossibly proper, and horrified that a pack of Americans has inherited one of England's most respected dukedoms. But his manners, his infamous self-restraint, and his better judgment fly out the window when he finds himself with the maddening American girl next door. Lady Bridget Cavendish has grand—but thwarted—plans to become a Perfect Lady and take the haute ton by storm. In her diary, Bridget records her disastrous attempts to assimilate into London high society, her adoration of the handsome rogue next door, her disdain for the Dreadful Lord Darcy, and some truly scandalous secrets that could ruin them all. It was loathing at first sight for Lady Bridget and Lord Darcy. But their paths keep crossing . . . and somehow involve kissing. When Lady Bridget's diary goes missing, both Darcy and Bridget must decide what matters most of all—a sterling reputation or a perfectly imperfect love.

Amelia naturally decided to unmask the mocking fellow. Regency Romance by Laura Matthews; originally published by Signet

She works to teach him the joy of art and creation and learns a little bit about seizing life herself. In Taking My Place, Elise, Alexander’s future wife, finds herself meeting this future High Lord several times throughout their lives. And though she may not seem like she has a chance of marriage with so many other wealthy daughters throwing themselves at Alexander, she intends to take her place in the House of the Evening no matter who gets in her way — as High Lady. In Coming To Terms, Grace’s half-brother Neil has lived his entire life never having to compete for anything, whether it be the House of the Evening’s heirship, his family’s love, or the respect of the people. But when his father brings home a bastard daughter to take over his crown, his entire world gets thrown into a tailspin. Chasing The Past expands readers’ knowledge of the Three Realms and the people who crossed Grace’s path with the same strong women and powerful family themes that Cady Hammer is known for.
