WHO WILL WRITE THE BOOK OF LOVE? In Ready Set Rogue, when scholarly Miss Ivy Wareham receives word that she's one of four young ladies who have inherited Lady Celeste Beauchamp's estate with a magnificent private library, she packs her trunks straightaway. Unfortunately, Lady Celeste's nephew, the rakish Quill Beauchamp, Marquess of Kerr, is determined to interrupt her studies one way or another. But Lady Celeste's death is not quite as straightforward as it first seemed...and if Quill hopes to solve the mystery behind her demise, he'll need Ivy's help. This rogue believes he's finally met his match--but can Quill convince clever, skeptical Ivy that his love is no fiction?

LADY + DUKE = TRUE LOVE?

In Duke with Benefits, Lady Daphne Forsyth is a brilliant mathematician with a burning passion for puzzles. When she learns that the library belonging to her benefactress houses the legendary Cameron Cipher--an encrypted message that, once solved, holds the key to great riches--Daphne is on the case. Unfortunately, her race to unlock the cipher's code is continually thwarted by the deliciously handsome Dalton Beauchamp, the Duke of Maitland, a distraction she hadn't counted on. . .and cannot resist. But how can they concentrate on solving a perplexing enigma once the prospect of true love enters the equation?
