Lady Olivia Rathburne has a secret list, and on it is everything she's always wanted to do...such as:

1) Disregard convention

2) Follow her heart

3) Bed the Earl of Wylderwood

But the earl is frustratingly perfec-he does what his family and society tell him to do. As for Olivia, she's also never made a wrong step.

But now it's time to change everything.

All she had to do was believe. . .

Tessa St. James thinks that true love is nothing more than a fairy tale, and she is absolutely certain she will never encounter someone worthy of her attention . . . until she meets her knight in shining armor.

His eyes are blue, the set of his chin is defiant, and he carries himself with unquestioned confidence. And when he kisses her, he sends a wicked desire through her body. Tessa, the beautiful skeptic, has no choice but to join forces with this man. Together they begin a quest that might restore her faith in the power of love . . . even if it costs both their lives.

And happily ever after could only be the stuff of fairy tales after all.

Book 1 in a new series by Victoria Alexander

The son of an earl, Nathanial Harrington is one of London’s most eligible bachelors. Trouble is, he’s never around town long enough to settle down. No, he’s always off to the Far East, or Africa, or some other place where there’s trouble to be had and treasure to be found.

Gabriella Montini is stunningly beautiful, temptingly kissable, and quite sure that Harrington is out to destroy her family’s name. Determined to restore their reputation, she masquerades as a destitute orphin and takes refuge in Harrington’s family home. But how will she continue her ruse when she finds herself fineally giving in to the passion she finds in his arms?

To break a centuries-old curse, beautiful, headstrong Lady Kathleen MacDavid knows she must ignore every rule of propriety by seducing—and marrying—the Earl of Norcroft. So she sets off for London, braving scandal and ruin to achieve her goal . . . until a crazy bump on the head makes her forget nearly everything.
The thrill of winning a bet—that he'd be the last of his set to wed—hasn't eased the earl's pain of losing his friends to marriage. Still, he'd be willing to settle down if he could meet someone worthy of his love—and desire. But he has met no such woman, until Kathleen is brought to him. Suspicious of her motives, he's determined to resist her seductive ways. But sometimes even the most proper gentleman finds it expedient to act improperly . . .

The perfect wife should be beautiful, trusting, and absolutely agreeable—or so the Earl of Wyldewood thought. But in New York Times bestselling author Victoria Alexander's intriguing tale, he finds that marriage is about more than mere appearances . . . When the Earl of Wyldewood meets Sabrina Winfield, he thinks he's found the ideal match. Graceful and genteel, the elegant blonde will look simply exquisite displayed on his arm. And a lady like Sabrina will undoubtedly occupy her time with proper matters, leaving him free to pursue his own pleasures . . . But beneath Sabrina's delicate beauty lies the most infuriatingly stubborn, wildly adventurous woman the earl has ever met. She's nothing like the perfect wife he had imagined. And before long, all he can think of is quieting her biting wit (with his kisses), putting an end to her outlandish schemes (with his own carefully planned seduction), and doing everything in his power to become the perfect husband.
