Courting the Unconventional

Some secrets are worth stealing. Some hearts are harder to escape. Lady Elsbeth Caldwell has long suspected that her stepfather is hiding something far more sinister behind his polished façade. Determined to uncover the truth, she embarks on an investigation that leads her to take desperate measures, including robbing a passing coach under the cover of night. Unfortunately, the coach belongs to Niles Drayton, Earl of Westcott-a man with a sharp tongue, a sharper wit, and a maddening ability to remain amused in even the most scandalous circumstances. Niles has no patience for matchmaking schemes, particularly those orchestrated by his well-meaning aunt. But when he's introduced to the opinionated and undeniably intriguing Lady Elsbeth, he is determined to keep her as far away from his sister-and himself-as possible. As threats begin to close in around Elsbeth, Niles is pulled deeper into her world. What begins as a reluctant association soon becomes an uneasy alliance, and then something far more dangerous: a fragile, undeniable connection. When long-buried secrets come to light and the true extent of the deception surrounding Elsbeth is revealed, the two must trust each other if they hope to survive. Because this time, it isn't just Elsbeth's heart at risk-it's her life. An Improbable Scheme starts the Courting the Unconventional series.

She was determined to remain a spinster-until love gave her a new reason to dream. Lady Eugenie Drayton is tired of being told what she can and cannot do. Bold, clever, and entirely too curious for Society's liking, she decides to take matters into her own hands by sneaking into an Oxford lecture disguised as a man. But her plan is swiftly upended when she is discovered by none other than Charles Ellsworth, Earl of Bedford-a man far too proper, far too persistent, and far too memorable, especially after the kiss they once shared. Charles has spent the past few months trying to forget the infuriating and enchanting Lady Eugenie. He appreciates her desire to learn more than Society believes acceptable. But when he finds her where no lady should be, he's forced to intervene. Reluctantly, they strike a bargain-one that forces them into close proximity and threatens the fragile walls around both their hearts. As their partnership teeters on the edge of scandal and something far more dangerous, Eugenie must decide if she truly desires a life of independence. . .or the kind of love that would change everything.
