About this series
What's love got to do with it?
Celia Lynton had been told her entire life that she couldn't marry for love, marriage should be a business agreement, poor men were only after the family fortune, blah, blah, blah. But now, there is no fortune. There's only debt, and an urgency to find a way to pay her younger brother's tuition at a school that can tend to his special needs. So yeah, there's going to be a marriage. One of convenience. Just like her parents wanted. She'll marry a future Scottish earl—a very rich future earl—and her brother will get to attend school. There's just one problem: Celia is in love with another man.
You can't always get what you want.
Carter Martin has loved Celia since they were kids. Never mind he's too quiet, too studious for someone who lights up a room when she smiles, add to that his father works for her family. Being the son of the "help", he could never be good enough for her. So he's worked hard his entire life to show his boss, the Earl of Pembroke, that he can take over his father's position as Steward of the estate some day and take care of the family who has taken care of his for generations. Little does he know, Celia has a plan of her own…an intimate trip to Italy where they won't be able to keep their hands off each other. How can he resist the only woman he's ever loved?

1
Kat Roberts has a plan for success, and LOVE doesn't fit into it. One snowy night in an English pub, Tristan Kingsley, the future Earl of Pembroke, throws Kat's plan to become a history professor right out the taproom window. With his chiseled jaw, bewitching eyes, and a voice as smooth as a glass of brandy, he's every woman's dream. He tempts Kat to leave her carefully laid plans behind as she falls head over tea kettle for this British playboy. Tristan Kingsley went into the bar that night to avoid the duties of his future as a titled lord. When a gorgeous American girl kisses him on a dare from her friends, the embrace turns his world upside down. Oh, he's used to having exactly what he wants: women, money, notoriety. But now he wants Kat. In his arms, in his bed—and the more time he spends with her, the more he craves her in his life. Tired of shallow, social-climbing English debutantes, Tristan can't get enough of his brilliant, sweet Yank. But not everyone is happy with the situation. His father, the Earl of Pembroke, has other plans for Tristan, and getting rid of Kat is number one on the list. If you thought this was a fairytale of a girl finding her Prince—er, Earl, and living happily-ever-after…then prepare yourself for one heck of an American Revolution.

Kat Roberts's life plan has definitely derailed. Her mind should be on school—Cambridge!—and her grades. Instead, all Kat can think about is Tristan Kingsley. Not his money or his title…Not even his panty-dropping good looks. No, Kat wants Tristan because he's unguarded around her, sharing his emotions, his desires, and his dreams. Now Kat's dad and Tristan's mother are dating, and Kat is unexpectedly spending Christmas break in the same London townhouse as her own British heartthrob. However, Tristan's father, the calculating Earl of Pembroke, wants more than an American college girl for his son, and it would take a decree by the Queen herself to change his mind. For Tristan Kingsley, Christmas break is going to be a living hell. He can't think about Decking the Halls when the girl of his dreams is sleeping right across the hall! Tristan already knows Kat's visiting father won't approve of Tristan's roguish reputation as a London playboy, and, despite agreeing to keep their relationship secret, stolen moments aren't enough. Tristan can't keep his hands off Kat, and a fairytale-style picture of them kissing hits London newsstands. It's only a matter of time before their families discover the truth. No matter how much Kat and Tristan want to be together, fate isn't on their side. Unless something changes soon, they'll both become members of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club.

One kiss with a stranger on a snowy night sent Kat's life spinning out of control… Kat Roberts' logical plan of college, career, and success hit a brick wall… a tall, dark, and gorgeous, Union Jack of a brick wall named Tristan Kingsley. Kat stupidly lets herself fall for the future Earl of Pembroke despite knowing Tristan's father would rather chicken dance around Big Ben than accept Kat as his son's girlfriend. Not to mention Tristan's womanizing past has Kat's own father voting no on the relationship, too, and leaves Kat reeling with the consequences of loving her handsome-as-sin Brit. Tristan Kingsley isn't going to let Kat go without a fight. It doesn't matter who the current earl wants Tristan to marry, he refuses to be blackmailed by his own father. Tristan wants Kat in his life, in his bed and in his heart, so he's going to fight for Kat using the very tabloids that once marked him as a womanizer. Except Tristan's brilliant plan has a dangerous result… One nobody saw coming… One that could steal their happily ever after away.
