About this series
For the past year, Lady Charlotte has waited patiently for her turn at possessing the magical pendant given to her friends when they were young. A gypsy girl swore the necklace would lead the wearer to the heart of a duke, which only made sense since Lady Eleanor was betrothed to the Duke of Langley at the time. Now Charlotte's three friends and her sister are all married or betrothed, and not one of them has landed the most eligible, and quite unbearably handsome, Langley. Does Charlotte stand a chance?
Langley had thought his fate was settled: he was to marry the young lady his father had chosen. Then she fell for another, and since then, every marriageable miss he set his sights on has done the same. His mother wants him to marry and get on with providing an heir, but he has lost interest in the entire matter. The final young ladies on his mother's list have come to stay at Hawking Hall, and the meek and mousy Lady Charlotte seems perfect, until she comes right out to say she has no desire to marry him. Never a man to back down from a challenge, Langley is intrigued. What would it take to change her mind?

- The Duke Who Loved Her: Once Upon a Duke, #1
1
When the Duke of Hartshorne returns to London to assume his title, he barely hopes his heart's desire still waits for him. But she's engaged to another man, so he fights to forget her and get on with his life. Having given up hope that Hart still loved her, Lady Marjorie Gideon agrees to marry someone else. Then he fails to show up for their wedding. She fears something bad has befallen him and asks the only man she trusts to find him. The favor she asks of him will require every ounce of his honor to take on, and no one believes him to be an honorable man. Except Marjorie. For her, he would do anything—even if it means she marries another man.
- The Duke's Scandalous Kisses: Once Upon a Duke
When William Foster, 8th Duke of Everleigh, sees his friend, Mrs. Julia Tilney, napping in an alcove, he can't stop himself from stealing a kiss. He's shocked, and more than a bit intrigued, when the young lady turns out to be her aunt, Lady Lorna Chatburn. Having witnessed what the loss of a spouse does to those left behind, Lorna has sworn to never marry, never even fall in love. Ignoring the excitement stirred by the duke's stolen kisses each time she sees him, she tells herself she's not falling for him. But then she does. And she still tells him she can never be his wife. Can Everleigh show her how life as his duchess is the only life for her?
