Behind a discreet Mayfair façade, Mrs. Merlin’s Academy turns society’s brightest misfits into the Crown’s most formidable assets. This anthology brings together four high-stakes Regency romances where clever women wield ciphers, steel, and scandal to protect a nation—and risk their hearts along the way.
A famed infiltrator crashes a collectors’ house party to unmask a traitor—only to clash (and spark) with a disgraced officer too enigmatic to ignore. A hot-tempered warrior is forced into a perilous partnership with a rakish Russian spy amid a storm-lashed Scottish stronghold. A perfectly polished contessa glides from gilded ballrooms to shadowed alleys to expose corruption—while a darling of the ton proves dangerously distracting. And when a mission turns critical, the Academy’s elusive leader must reunite with a brilliant former agent he once lost—to stop a weapon that could change the course of war.
Witty, romantic, and brimming with derring-do, Mrs. Merlin’s Academy for Extraordinary Young Ladies delivers found-family camaraderie, razor-edged banter, and swoon-worthy HEAs—cloak-and-dagger included.
