    Summary

    An ancient marriage pact forces Colin Atherley, newly made Duke of Austinborough, to marry Penelope Featherington—the quiet girl he once knew as a child and has long since forgotten.

    To Colin, the marriage is little more than an inconvenient obligation. Within a day he leaves for London and his medical studies, abandoning his new bride at Everthorne.

    But five years is a long time.

    When Colin finally returns home, he expects to find the same timid girl he left behind.

    Instead he finds a woman who has rebuilt his estate, earned the loyalty of the village, and learned how to live perfectly well without him.

    The more Colin learns about his wife, the more unsettling a realization becomes:

    Perhaps he was never the only one wounded by their marriage. And perhaps the quiet girl he overlooked has been the most extraordinary woman in his life all along.

    "Fuck," Penelope sighs. "I practiced this whole speech over here, I—um—I wanted it to be perfect. Now, I'm not even sure what to say. We're sitting in your living room and it feels…"

    Summary

    The Selkie was a rough old pub, only a stone's throw from east London's best brothels and the working men they both served. There wasn't anywhere quite like it though, not with Charlotte running the place and seizing every opportunity she could get - even if it meant making deals with a gangster and setting his favourite barmaid in his sights to keep him sweet.

    Penelope had always been taught the Devil would have a handsome face - what she wasn't prepared for is for him to be a gentleman as well.

    What does a poor working girl do when a dangerous man offers her what none ever has before: safety.
