A Captivating Caper

Releasing October 4, 2022

After being interrupted mid-snooping by a dashing British colonel, Gemma finds herself in an impossible predicament - playing nanny to his precocious daughter by day, and by night, pulling off a job that will save a woman from poverty. Working for the keen eyed Colonel should be the very last thing for Gemma wants…except there’s something under that button down demeanour she finds utterly captivating.

Colonel Jeremy Webber buried the pain of losing his wife in work and the dependability of checklists and schedules, locking away his feelings in tidy boxes. Determined to raise his daughter on his own, the busy aide-de-camp can’t keep an eye on his strong willed child and an energetic Lieutenant Governor at the same time. Jeremy’s a man of schedules and rules, but his alluring new governess manages to manoeuvre around every one - including his most important rule…never fall in love again.

Normally Gemma is the thief, but Jeremy is stealing her heart -- even as he’s dangerously close to uncovering secrets that put her and her fellow Scandalous Spinsters in jeopardy. To let him in could risk everything…but could shutting him out mean stealing her own happiness?

A Dangerous Diversion

Elouise isn’t simply Charming by name...Charming is the job.

When trouble strikes Everwell Manor, headquarters of her fellow Scandalous Spinsters and the only real home she’s ever known, being charming isn’t enough. Especially when the job calls for her to pick the pocket of a handsome blue-eyed stranger at a high society function.

After a suspicious fire killed his brother, Detective Dominic Ashe pointed the finger at one of Boston’s elite and found himself out a job. With his reputation in tatters, he’s come north in a last ditch effort to find justice and maybe a little peace...but he’s unprepared for the well heeled beauty who seems determined to get in his way.

When Dominic is injured helping Elouise’s students, she wonders if she can trust the illusive American with her secrets. But trusting a man has only led Elouise to ruin...and Dominic doesn’t know how to deal with a woman who doesn’t play by society’s rules.

The clock is ticking...will Dominic steal Louisa's heart? Or is Dominic little more than a Dangerous Diversion?
