Forever with the Earl
Book 3 The Carlyle Family Chronicles
After losing her heart to a rogue, Lady Daphne Wardlow decided that she would live the life of a spinster. Men had proven to be nothing more than unfaithful, untrustworthy scoundrels, and the worst of them all was her neighbor since childhood, Ross Carlyle, the new Earl of Rackham. Too many women had already fallen for his handsome profile and easy charm, but she’d never let herself become a conquest ever again.
Ross Carlyle had a problem. After finding himself granted a new earldom, he had decided to change his roving ways, choosing instead to become a responsible, upright man. He wanted to do right by those in his keeping, and to find a wife. Except that no one believes him. How could anyone ever trust “Ross the Rogue”? Least of all, the woman he had secretly loved for years, Daphne Wardlow.
But Daphne’s father and Ross’ mother have a plan to bring their two wayward children together. Will their well-meaning meddling be a success, or a spectacular failure?
Because the Lady is a Spy
Book 2 The Carlyle Family Chronicles
Lady Lavinia Carlyle couldn’t imagine herself living the life expected of a well-born, aristocratic young woman. She had no particular fondness for pretty dresses, needlepoint, or marriage. What she craved was adventure, and if that included a bit of danger, that would be even better. Discovering the world of espionage, she had found all that she had been looking for working as a spy.
Ashton Markham, Lord Bayles, had spent more years as a spy than he could remember, wandering around Europe for the Crown, until an assignment called him back home to England. Finding himself paired with the notorious bluestocking Lavinia Carlyle, he can’t help but be drawn towards her bold spirit. Except that the death of the woman he loved still lingers in his heart, and her brother will do anything to see him dead.
