Not every love story begins in a fog of flirtation and flattery.
Some of the strongest bonds are formed, most unexpectedly, through hardship. This is especially the case for strong willed, quick witted Mila Zolotov. Her beloved country has been at war with their northern neighbors for over three decades and, as a member of the royal family herself, she has always been expected to despise them the most. Why, then, would her brother make his first act as their country’s new King betrothing her to their enemy’s Prince?
Thrust into a world that she had always been taught to hate, Mila finds her heart opening to the people whom her brother calls savages. She finds herself forming unlikely friendships with those groups of people with whom a princess should never interact; soldiers and prostitutes, orphans and hermits. She finds herself on a journey to a love that she never asked for and to the heartbreak of the inevitable choice between a new love and an old. In the end, Mila will learn a valuable lesson. That we are judged, not on what we can control, but on how we handle that which is outside of our control.

How far would you go to keep a promise?
When twelve-year-old Oliver Ainsworth promised his life to Avery Hastings, she never believed him. After years apart, through war and tragedy, it seems even more likely that he’s forgotten her entirely. And she’s moved on as well.
Haunted by their parents’ gruesome murder and the overbearing debt they’d left behind, Avery and her sister both sell themselves into different trades to make their livings, to pay back the murderer before he comes for them too. As for Oliver? The war came for him just like it came for every other young boy in their village. Or so Avery thinks.
Until her employment with a wealthy family in France forces their two worlds to collide once more and she learns there’s far more to the boy she knew than she could have ever imagined.
Bound by a contract neither of them ever signed, they must come together again after years apart, after being worlds away, after becoming different people. A contract which states that they are overdue for their own wedding. But, after a lengthy engagement, when Oliver gives Avery the chance to opt out… will she even want to?

A younger sister cannot wed before an older sister.
It’s a law of their society, a rule vehemently obeyed by prominent families in the nobility, and it’s always been Ella Harrington’s buffer.
Ella has never been interested in marrying for anything short of love itself. Unfortunately for her, love is a rarity in the marriages of the aristocracy. Fortunately for her, her sister Emily is precisely one year older than her and is the most unpleasant, disagreeable, sulking woman to ever debut in all of England. So Ella may never have to marry at all.
A free woman, she enjoys her time on the sidelines and wishes for nothing more. That is, until a tall, dark, and brooding Duke comes to town alongside an old friend of her brother’s. Suddenly, Ella finds herself questioning the antiquated marriage order rule as her buffer begins to feel more like a barrier. Not that it matters. The Duke isn’t interested in her anyway.

Norah has done something that precious few women in regency England can claim. She has found a passion. Unfortunately, it isn’t childbearing or household chores. It’s medicine. And she’s far too busy with it to worry about finding a suitable gentleman to marry.
Kyrie is drowning in his late father’s accounts. Never one with an eye for business, he’s worried he might become the reason that his illustrious’ family’s longstanding titles and privileges come crashing down around him in the form of bankruptcy. He needs someone who can understand the books. Pity that his family’s only concern is what woman he chooses to court.
Neither of them want to participate in the song and dance of the mating ritual that is Regency England. But they can buy each other time, at least. Pretend to be courting one another, for only a season, and Norah will have the time and privacy to practice medicine while Kyrie gains a co-conspirator with insight into his accounts. It was a perfect plan. But things always seem to go awry when meddling sisters, fallen branches, and wretched feelings enter the mix.
