She is...not nice.The Marquess of Dansbury is a strong, charismatic man living a charmed life as an agent for the crown.

Until now...when he finds himself tasked with protecting the one woman in the world he actively disdains, Lady Beatryce Beckett. Lady Beatryce Beckett is mean. She ruins other women on purpose.

Wait, what?It will take a special man to see the true woman beneath the surface...and a strong woman to allow him that glimpse. Is the Marquess of Dansbury up to the task?

England 1814: Upstanding duke desperately seeks accident-prone wife from trade...She is from trade. He is a duke and an agent for the crown with a name to restore and a mystery to solve.Miss Grace (ha!) Radclyffe is an oftentimes hilariously clumsy, 20-year-old orphan biding her time living with her uncle until she is old enough to come into her small inheritance. Much to her aunt's chagrin: She isn't: -Reserved - not with her shocking! tendency to befriend the servants...-Sophisticated - highly overrated if one cannot run around barefoot outside...-Graceful - she once flung her dinner into a duke's face... on accident, of course.But she is: -Practical - owning a fashion house is in her future; unless someone foils her plans...-In love... maybe... perhaps... possibly...The Duke of Stonebridge is a man with a tragic past.

He is a man of few words on the lookout for a traitor. How could they NOT get along?Mrs. Amelia Chase is a highly-opinionated, 23-year-old woman from America on the run from her past with a penchant for self-preservation and a healthy love for Shakespearean insults. Much to a certain Scotsman's dismay: She isn't: -Quiet - not with her tendency to talk to everyone about anything...-Demure - highly overrated if one cannot wear red and show off one's curves...-Equine-savvy - she once fled some currish, toad-spotted, coxcombs - er, villains - in a stolen carriage at a pace slower than a meandering walk. Oh, and mistook a common mule for a thoroughbred. But other than that...And she is: -Brave - Smart, Loyal, Witty. Er, charming. Plus, Modest, Lonely, Secretive - Um, forget that last part...-And In love - with a distrustful Highlander of all things...Lord Alaistair MacLeod is an agent for the Crown and a man with secrets.

Female warrior seeks unreliable rogue adept at betrayal and secrets.England 1814: Theirs was a forbidden love, but now...Agent for the Crown, Ciarán Kelly, is an Irishman who loves women. All women. Big, small, buxom, slender, blonde, ginger, rich, poor-their features matter not. Fortunately, he was born with a silver tongue, enough wit and charisma to rival Claude Duvall, and an air of mystery, necessary to be an effective spy. In short, women love him. But after being branded a traitor and tortured by the very villains he's vowed to destroy, he's lost his memory and is left with only one person in the world he can-and must-depend upon...and she despises the very air he breathes.No matter, he is: *Confidently optimistic-she'll come around.*Smooth-talking-beneficial when he makes her angry. And he will make her angry.*And brilliant-useful, if only he could remember...And he isn't: *Impatient-there's always time. See also confidently optimistic above.*Or afraid-of being in love. He's been there before.Frederica Glyndŵr has matured since her father erased her from the family tree, tossing her to the streets of London with nothing more than her wits to aid her survival.

Until a disappointment from her past invades her life once more, threatening to expose her secrets. She's ready for a reckoning, but never forgiveness...too bad he has no memory of their past.No matter, she is always: *Prepared-a life lesson; she will never be caught ill-equipped again.*And capable-she's proven that to herself time and again.And she isn't: *Sloppy-with the men they're after, this could mean the difference between life and death.*Patient-normally not a positive trait, but time is of the essence. Bad men are coming.*Or in love...or won't be if she could only retrieve her heart from the man who stole it.As the enemy closes in and Kelly's mind begins to heal, he discovers just how deep his betrayal goes.Can true love prevail over such sins?Frederica can't speak for some sins, but she's damn sure it can't survive all secrets...Rated: MA
