Determined to claim her financial freedom, Madeline slips away from her overbearing family and races off to Alcott Hall. Madeline needs a husband. Now. She’ll be generous, providing him with a comfortable living. She doesn’t even care if he takes other lovers. All he must do is agree never to claim his rights as her husband.

3 years ago, vicar Charles Bray left the town of Finchley and never looked back.

You are cordially invited to the wedding of His Grace, the Duke of Norland

When Rosalie Harrow found herself plunged into the middle of a house party of society ladies in pursuit of the hand of the Duke of Norland, though she was near destitute, she had no desire to be caged by marriage. Yet, by evening’s end, she’d captivated not one, but three gentlemen . . .

James Corbin, Viscount Finchley, has a dual mission. First, guarantee that his debaucherous brother, George, the Duke, goes through with his upcoming marriage. Second, ensure that his best friend, Burke, does not get married . . . at least not to the living, breathing gorgon that is Lady Olivia Rutledge. Burke is fully in agreement.

Together with their friend, Lieutenant Renley, the gentlemen concoct an elaborate ruse to set Burke free. But as George’s wedding day nears, secrets from the past emerge that threaten ruin upon each gentleman’s future. Fortunately, it’s Rosalie to the rescue . . .

Rosalie has plans of her own, not only to save Burke from the altar, but to save Renley from the ghosts that haunt him—and to save James from himself. Meanwhile, to win her, each gentleman will try anything, risk anything, and be anything she needs. As for Rosalie, she can’t help but wonder, why choose?

Crashing a country house party in Regency England, an intrepid young woman is drawn into the orbit of three delicious gentlemen in this slow burn, very sexy, definitely-not-your-mother’s historical romance from internationally bestselling author Emily Rath.

At twenty-two, Rosalie Harrow is unmarried and near destitute. She has two choices: snag a wealthy gentleman, or take work as a governess. Neither option appeals to headstrong Rosalie, who sees both futures as a kind of cage.

When Rosalie receives an invitation to Alcott Hall, she believes she’s there to meet the Dowager Duchess of Norland, the mysterious childhood friend of her late mother. Instead, Rosalie is thrust in the middle of a house party of eligible high society ladies all desperate to win the hand of the new, conveniently single duke. Hilarity ensues as Rosalie dodges the attentions of the officious duke, and weathers the censure of the other guests, all while trying to unravel the mystery of her invitation.

And then there’s the gentlemen…

The more Rosalie tries to avoid the high society husband hunt, the more she finds herself charmed by three very different men. There’s Lord James, the duke’s younger brother, who is the secret duke in all but name. Lieutenant Renley, recently returned from the West Indies, and begrudgingly looking for a wife of his own. And the tempestuous Mr. Burke, who irks Rosalie to no end.

The clock ticks down the days to the Michaelmas ball, when the duke is set to announce his bride. Marriage is a trap and Rosalie will not be easily snared…but that doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy the chase while it lasts.
