Noelle Walters can hardly believe how lucky she is to be given a chance to start over after a hard life as a soiled dove in the American West.

The lord of the manor where she was supposed to take up a position as a maid has disappeared under scandalous circumstances, and Noelle’s services are no longer required. Alone in a foreign country, penniless, and ignorant of the ways of British society, Noelle fears that her only chance of survival will be taking up her old profession again.

When he discovers that Noelle has met with nothing but misfortune, he feels compelled to help her in every way he can, including sneaking her into his lodgings to save her from the street. But helping Noelle puts Ram’s plans for the future in jeopardy when they are discovered together.

May Mistakes
Summary
After the death of her father, Miss Elaine Bond had decided to embrace life as an independent woman...much to the chagrin of her neighbors. Her eccentric ways alarm the entire town of Brynthwaite, to the point where concerned friends turn to the only person they believe can settle Elaine into a respectable married life, mysterious bookseller Mr. Basil Wall. Basil has been in love with Elaine since the moment he moved to Brynthwaite years ago, but the secret that drove him out of London and into the remote Lake District has kept him from declaring himself. At least until a twist of fate throws the two potential lovers together in a way that neither of them expected. But what begins as a romance that is as charming as it is sultry turns into a game with far higher stakes when the infamous Missing Earl of Waltham is tracked down and dragged out into the light. And with the fate of Parliament - not to mention a bill increasing the rights of women - in the balance, Basil must choose between love and duty. Which leaves Elaine caught between what is right and what is proper, and leads her to an adventure far more daring than any of her Brynthwaite neighbors could dream of.

A Wild Adventure
Summary
After years of reluctantly living the wild life in Haskell, Wyoming, all Rose Rawlins wants is to settle down into a quiet position as a maid for the Bond family in Brynthwaite, England. She takes her position as nurse for charming and irascible Mr. Bond and confidant of adventurous Miss Elaine Bond seriously, vowing that nothing will get in the way of her duty to her new friends.
Until handsome and tempting Dr. Isaac Newsome comes along.
Widower, Isaac Newsome, doesn’t feel as though he has anything to offer a woman, but from the first moment he lays eyes on Rose, that belief is challenged. Rose’s refreshing, American ways breathe new life into what was becoming a stale existence. But in spite of the fiery attraction between them, Rose is holding something back.
It takes a trio of mischievous young men from Brynthwaite Municipal Orphanage, all of Mr. Bond’s wiles, a mysterious and regal bookseller who is also new to town, and a daring boat race to bring Rose and Isaac together, but even then, will a sudden tragedy pull them apart?
Narrated by the author, who is not a professional narrator, but sure does love telling you her stories...and who blushes at the naughty bits.
