About this series
When Miss Elenore Ogglesby ran away from her ward, the Duke of Kerrington, she had one goal in mind—sail to America. It didn't take her long, however, to realize the foolhardiness of her impulsiveness. There was no way a single, unchaperoned lady would be able to sail to America without raising suspicion. So, when she is presented with the opportunity to disguise as a nun in order to obtain her freedom, she can't refuse. But, it seems as though fate is destined to intervene.
Disguised as a nun, Elenore gets whisked away by a highwayman who almost runs her off the road in the dark of night. Unwilling to divulge her true identity to the man and risk being returned to the Duke of Kerrington, she continues her farce as Sister Genevieve. The unlikely encounter leaves Elenore caring for a sickly Earl in exchange for passage to America . It doesn't take her long to question her decision to strike up a deal with the mysterious highwayman when she is stuck caring for the obnoxious and demanding Lord Brattondale day in and day out. She starts doubting her decision to trust the man she hardly knows when she finds out that he has a secret of his own.
A double deception.

- Deceiving the Duke of Kerrington
1
Hope Hillburn was born to a life of servitude and never once questioned her role in society. As a lady's maid to Noelle Parrish, she had everything she wanted out of life; a secure and honorable post, a decent room to call her own, and ample time to write fantastical tales of winsome creatures while her mistress, Lady Noelle, attended the various society events offered by the ton. Lady Noelle Parrish knew that her father was anxious to see her wed but she never imagined he'd go behind her back and arrange for her to marry against her will, to a duke with a questionable reputation no less. Disheartened by the prospect of marrying a man she's never met and the possibility of foregoing a lifetime of love, Noelle makes the impulsive decision to flee England with an American gentleman she's only just met. There's only one problem... Lady Noelle's father, the Earl of Brattondale, would never permit her to marry an untitled American, nor was he willing to go back on his word to the duke. In her desperation, Lady Noelle convinces Hope to take her place after noticing an uncanny resemblance between them both. Against her own better judgment, Hope agrees to take Noelle's place when she realizes there's no other way for Noelle to flee to America without causing her family disgrace. Thrown into a life she has only ever viewed from the outside, Hope must convince everyone that she is a lady lest her farce be discovered. She is confident that she can handle society's strict rules of propriety but she soon learns that guarding her heart from falling in love with an incredibly handsome, self assured duke with a penchant for snarling isn't going to be quite as easy.
- Misleading Lord Martineau
Her memory haunts his dreams... Elliot Martineau has spent the last four years mourning the loss of his one true love, Lady Felicity Pemberton. Ever since her mysterious disappearance the night after he proclaimed his love to her he has hidden himself behind a facade of arrogant repartee, never letting anybody get too close to his embittered heart. He knows he could never love another the way he loved Felicity and though he's tried to erase her memory from his heart, it is to no avail. When Felicity Pemberton returns to London after a painfully long absence, it is with great trepidation. Her father's death has left her penniless and unable to care for herself or the ones she loves. Her greatest fear upon her return is seeing Lord Martineau again after he broke her heart so long ago. Disguised as the widowed Lady Davenport, she must risk recognition in turn for something greater—snagging a husband who can help her re-enter society and protect her from those who wish her harm. Her ruse doesn't fool him... Despite her four year absence, when Lady Felicity waltzes back into his life unexpectedly, disguised as Lady Davenport, Elliot becomes intent on finding out the reason behind her masquerade and her reasons for disappearing so suddenly from his life. He soon learns that she's keeping more from him than just her identity. As the past merges with the present he must find a way to earn her trust and convince her that he was never the one who abandoned her; that his love for her has never faded. Will they succeed at their second chance of happiness or will painful secrets and a past unwilling to be forgotten tear them apart once again?

Ginny Hartman
Ginny considers herself an "accidental author." She didn't grow up thinking she'd write romance novels, instead preferring to read them. It wasn't until she started voraciously consuming Regency Romance novels by the dozens that she found out she had a problem. It seemed there were only two types of books; very proper ones that contained nothing but a dry kiss at the end, or smutty ones that included graphic bedroom scenes. Unhappy with either choice, Ginny set out on a mission to write a romance book that was somewhere in the middle, thus leading her to write her first published novel, Deceiving the Duke of Kerrington, which went on to become an Amazon bestseller in America as well as several other countries. In the past four years, Ginny has written and published fifteen romance novels, many of which have become bestsellers, as well as helped a handful of other writers realize their dreams of becoming published authors by tutoring them in the art of self-publishing. In her free time, Ginny loves to travel, jet ski, write songs, and learn all that she can about becoming the best person she can be. She currently resides in Northern Idaho with the inspiration behind her stories charming heroes; her husband, as well as their three adventurous children and a fluffy dog named Giacomo.
