Bonded by books and united by a purpose, The Mayfair Literary League has taken on a new mission—For Better or Worse. The bachelors of London won’t know what hit them when these bookish ladies set their sights on the men in their lives who don’t see them for who they truly are—yet. Can a Christmastide kiss lead to love? Frances Melbourne strives to overcome her shyness but fears she will soon be facing life as a spinster since the one chance she had for love slipped through her fingers. Making matters worse, her well-meaning father increases her dowry. Unwelcome suitors approach her at every turn and make planning a Christmas charity ball nearly impossible. Thomas Sinclair left Her Majesty’s Navy wiser but not richer. After his heart is caught by the daughter of a wealthy man at a house party, he knows the only chance of winning her hand—and her father’s approval—is to seek his fortune in America. He returns home for Christmas to tell Frances what’s in his heart and ask if she’ll wait for him. Yet how can he convince her that he truly cares for her and not her fortune? And when he learns of a dark side to the charity she’s working so hard to help, he fears the truth will end his chance to make her his. Frances gathers her courage to make a bold move by sharing a Christmas kiss with Thomas. He’s everything she’s longed for but his news about the charity throws her careful plans in disarray, along with her heart. Join the ladies of the league as they pursue their HEAs!

Lady Pippa Godfrey has suffered the most ruinous London Season. She escapes to her Somerset estate for a quiet Christmastide holiday with her family, away from society’s prying eyes. But before her parents can join her, a storm crashes down on Somerset to destroy any hope of Pippa’s white Christmas dream. The roads have flooded and travel is impossible, leaving her stranded and alone. But a muddied, angry and devilishly handsome lord appears at her door demanding shelter. Lucas Hartfeld, the Earl of Maddox, has been summoned by his parents, the Marquis and Marchioness of Bowmont, to attend a holiday party in the wilds of the country, far from his London townhouse. He suspects they command his attendance for far different reasons than a simple country party. When a storm strands his carriage, he’s forced to seek shelter at the only home for miles around, a local manor called Helton House. When Lady Pippa is reluctant to admit him, he does what he’s been raised to do—demand she provide him and his servants with shelter until the storm passes. But the beautiful woman draws his interest far more than he’s willing to admit. Can Lucas find a way out of the predicament his parents are planning? As Lady Pippa scrutinizes another arrogant, demanding lord, she is bombarded with memories of betrayals in her past. Can she forget those difficult life lessons to claim a Christmastide kiss from a perfect stranger?

Posies, invitations, and yes, proposals arrive on her doorstep daily, but none of the men can sweep her heart into the grand, passionate love she requires. Enter Jonah, Earl of Stockbury, infamous for his enormous gambling losses but possessed of an even bigger heart. He's bound by honor not to fall in love with his best friend's sister, a vow he secretly broke years ago. Yet when he expresses his feelings to Piper she laughs him off believing his words to be just another teasing prank. Can he win Piper's heart and her brother's approval before another man wins her hand? A Christmas Promise Can a single kiss change the course of her heart? Caught in the path of an impending battle between approaching Confederate and Union troops, strong-willed Poppy Greenleaf clashes with handsome Lieutenant Lupient over keeping her family safe. A simple experimental kiss distracts her from what she needs to do. When her brother joins up with the northern troops fighting to keep Missouri in the Union, Poppy's left with the responsibility of keeping her family safe. Discovering a band of rebels camping nearby, she must get word to her brother and Lieutenant Lupient. One kiss is not enough Batt Lupient is torn between defending his nation and protecting Poppy from her foolish notions of invulnerability. Her stubbornness is bound to get her in trouble, and he can't be there to rescue her when he's in battle hundreds of miles away. If he survives whatever campaigns lay ahead, will she be there to welcome him home? No MIstletoe Required Still reeling from her major disappointment of the past Season in London, Lady Barbara Graves panics when she receives her summons to spend Christmas with her notorious matchmaking great-uncle The Duke of Danby. She'd expected Lord Aaron Harlow to propose to her before the end of the season, but he went off to India without a word. Having asked her brother to write Lord Aaron, she's certain he'll arrive in time to save her from marrying whatever dupe her uncle has chosen for her. Theo Jardine is an investing genius whom Danby admires, although he's the youngest grandson of an earl and never likely to inherit. He accepts the duke's invitation to visit Danby Castle but plans to spend the holidays with his own family. When he realizes there's matchmaking going on-and he's a target-he tries to leave, but Danby dangles a carrot in front of him: an offer to front the entire scheme. Theo isn't Aaron, but Barbara's attraction grows the more time she spends with him at the castle. Then she discovers her uncle is bribing Theo to marry her. Will she ever find true love with a man who loves her in return?
