And she was doing a wonderful job of it, too. Until him.Christian Harrison, Viscount of Brentford could think of little worse than being stuck in some small, country hamlet with nobody and nothing to entertain him. The beautiful Elodie Templeworth had caught his eye.

Not enough to help her out of a sticky situation though.He's ready to wash his hands of Elodie, her family, and the madcap town they all live in. But Elodie has different ideas.With little options left available to her, she decides the viscount is going to help her escape her village, and the consequences of their actions, with or without his knowledge.Their forced proximity isn't what either of them wanted, but as time goes on, and attraction grows, perhaps it's not so bad after all.A Lord for All SeasonsA Springtime ScandalMidsummer MadnessA Forgotten FallA Winter Wedding
