This collection includes 4 books.

Book 1: The Librarian’s Michaelmas Bargain Ebook

Livia Hart knows the right novel for every reader in Bath. Finding a way to keep her own story from ending in disaster is proving rather harder. With her father's library at risk and her young brother depending on her, Livia has until Michaelmas to save their home. The man who must certify her accounts is the last person she expected to see: Theodore Ashcombe, her childhood confidant, first love, and the gentleman who stopped writing. Theo returns with a London coat, a clerk's careful manners, and a secret that could cost him Livia's trust. As they work together by candlelight, old jokes become dangerous tenderness. But a ruthless rival wants the library, Theo's family wants his obedience, and neither love nor honest accounts can settle a debt. To protect the household she has built, Livia must find the courage to make herself heard. And if Theo hopes for a second chance, he must offer her something far more difficult than a promise: a reason to believe he will stay.

Book 2: A Harvest Bargain with Her Rival Ebook

Merryn Holt can coax prizewinning vegetables from stubborn soil. Persuading society to value the woman who grows them is another matter. With her mother’s home threatened, the Ashcombe gardening competition offers one chance to secure their future—and Merryn intends to win. Caleb Venn has spent nine years losing to her and far longer than he cares to admit noticing her. The quiet farmer knows drains, debts and difficult horses. He has considerably less experience with the fierce young woman who considers his very presence an insult. When sabotage leaves both their gardens in ruins, Merryn and Caleb must become partners. Between midnight rescues, a disastrous quadrille and an infuriatingly thoughtful gift of pie, rivalry begins to feel dangerously like love. But their shared entry can save only one home. Caleb is keeping a secret, a calculating steward has plans of his own, and Merryn must decide how much of herself she is willing to risk. Winning will require more than perfect celery. Trusting the man beside her may demand the courage to be heard.

Book 3: A Viscount by Candleflame Ebook

Isolde Bray has never met a room she cannot light—or a gentleman she cannot answer. With her father’s candle shop threatened by debt, a Christmas commission in Derbyshire offers the chance to save her livelihood and put her own name on her work. There is only one difficulty. Lucien, Viscount Damerel, has forbidden any candle to burn in a room he occupies. Scarred by an accident and weary of society’s stares, Lucien intends to keep his house dark and his heart safely out of reach. He has not reckoned with a red-haired candlemaker who meets his gaze, challenges his rules and makes him laugh among the shadows. Snowbound together, their midnight work becomes an intimacy neither expected. But Isolde’s former fiancé has followed her north with debts to collect and a reputation to destroy. As Twelfth Night approaches, the gallery must shine—or everything she has built may be lost. To win a future together, Isolde must trust more than her own courage, and Lucien must choose whether love is worth being seen.

Book 4: The Baronet Who Broke Her Rules Ebook

Imogen Croft has found husbands for fourteen women. She has no intention of finding one for herself. A discreet matchmaker with a sharp wit and hard-won independence, Imogen needs one generous commission to secure the home she has built. Sir Tristan Vale needs a wife who can bring his political enemies to the same dinner table. Their agreement is precise, their arguments are delightful, and one rule is absolute: the matchmaker is not a candidate. Unfortunately, Tristan finds every suitable lady less compelling than the woman introducing them. Beneath his formidable manners lies a secret Imogen never expected—and a tenderness she cannot safely ignore. As a powerful society hostess threatens her livelihood and his campaign to protect London's climbing boys, attraction becomes a dangerous complication. Imogen has already surrendered her future to one husband's promises. If Tristan wants her heart, he must prove that love can leave her free to choose. In a city where marriage is business, who will ask the matchmaker what she wants?
