Lady Travelers Society

New York Times bestselling author Victoria Alexander! The family of the bride is expected to revel in the joy of the upcoming wedding. Instead, Miss Celia Bromley faces the most heartbreaking dilemma of her life: she's fallen in love with the man engaged to marry her scheming half-sister. Worse, he might love Celia in return. But handsome, bookish Henry Saunders is a man of honor. He would never break his promise to his bride-to-be, no matter how horrid she may be. Celia's despair hasn't escaped the notice of keen-eyed Aunt Guinevere, who, along with her crafty friends, is determined to see true love triumph. Unraveling a wedding takes a delicate, subtle touch, and in the mad dash to break one engagement and encourage another, the ladies may well hear the whispers of scandal instead of the peal of wedding bells...

All's fair in love and meddling among the members of New York Times bestselling author Victoria Alexander's Lady Travelers Society! Unmarried and dedicated to illustrating the Explorers Club's artifacts, Dulcie Middleworth is running out of prospects. Spinsterhood's a tragedy for the daughter of a viscount, but London's most eligible maiden has a secret: she's already in love. But to confess an attraction to charming explorer Michael Shepard? Not when the man has no wish to marry and his heart's desire lies in adventure abroad. Surely such a predicament calls for a matchmaker of Poppy Fitzhew-Wellmore's caliber! And calls as well for a romantic rival-the legendary figment of Poppy's imagination Reginald Everheart-to nudge Michael's affections in Dulcie's direction. But what to do when everyone demands to meet the famously infamous suitor who doesn't really exist?

A fake fiancé and a Christmas engagement are a recipe for trouble in this delightful holiday romp featuring New York Times bestselling author Victoria Alexander's Lady Travelers Society. Miss Anabel Snelling needs a fiancé, and fast. If her father, Sir Archibald, has his way, she'll be married in time for Christmas-to a man she doesn't love. That's why she and her aunt have concocted a brilliant plan to hire an American actor to play the role of her suitor. But the charming Wesley Grant is playing the part a little too well, and Anabel is in danger of falling for him. What Anabel doesn't know is Wesley is not the actor her aunt hired. Still, what kind of a gentleman would he be if he didn't come to her rescue? He has a new plan of his own-win Anabel's heart...for real.

Before there was a Lady Travelers Society, there was just one lady traveler... Some marry for love. Some marry for money. But Violet Hagen's quick wedding to irresponsible James Branham, heir to the Earl of Ellsworth, was to avoid scandal. Though her heart was broken when she learned James never wanted marriage or her, Violet found consolation in traveling the world, at his expense-finding adventure and enjoying an unconventional, independent life. And strenuously avoiding her husband. But when James inherits the earldom it comes with a catch-Violet. To receive his legacy he and Violet must live together as husband and wife, convincing society that they are reconciled. It's a preposterous notion, complicated by the fact that Violet is no longer the quiet, meek woman he married. But then he's not the same man either. Chasing Violet across Europe to earn her trust and prove his worth, James realizes with each passing day that a marriage begun in haste may be enjoyed at leisure. And that nothing may be as scandalous-or as perfect-as falling hopelessly in love. Especially with your wife.
