Could a person fall in love with a stranger when she doesn’t know his name or see his face? Can she do it while engaged to someone else? All Stasia Dunn wants to do is hide from the fortune hunters at a Midsummer Night’s masquerade ball. Looking far more like Peaseblossom than Titania, she and her fairy wings have escaped to the conservatory. Unfortunately, she is discovered by a man dressed as Nick Bottom, complete with massive donkey snout covering his head. For some reason, he makes her feel safe. Worse for her fiancé, she suspects she might be falling in love. But since she hasn’t met her fiancé, how can she compare?

Shockingly brash and scandalously independent, the Reckless Brides are boldly rewriting the rules of love and marriage—one smitten bachelor at a time…

Proper young ladies of the ton-especially ones who have very small dowries-are not encouraged to have an interest in intellectual pursuits. Indeed, the only thing they are encouraged to pursue is an eligible bachelor. So, the headstrong Sloane sisters must keep their passions a secret. Ah, but secret passions are wont to lead a lady into trouble . . .

Lady Leila Barrington is the youngest daughter of the Earl of Werrick. While she has always known she is loved, she still carries the guilt of her birth and feels set apart from her sisters—not only in appearance, but also by the visions that haunt her. In a world where fear and superstition rule, her gifts may cost her everything, including her life. But when she has a premonition of the great pestilence, she knows she will not be able to turn her back on the sick and dying. Not even after she sees her own death at the hands of the man she is fated to love.

When the 9th Duke of Sudeleigh discovers that his eldest daughter, Elizabeth, is the clandestine author of a scandalous editorial, he hatches a plan to bring the feisty young woman to heel. He will secretly send her off to an arranged marriage so that she might better concentrate her efforts on hearth and home instead of the spreading of contrary ideas.
