She's a wallflower on a mission to win.Bookish Lady Elizabeth Whitmoreland has no interest in being a debutante. She'd rather immerse herself in the tranquility of a library than dance in a ballroom with some silly fop. But when she overhears a wager being placed on a game of chess, she sees her chance to challenge the ton's smuggest rake. If he loses, he'll have to pretend to court her for the entire Season to fend off her relentless mama.He's a rake who's never been beat.Christopher St. Clare, the Marquess of Claremont, is a man who staunchly avoids the debutante scene and marriage altogether, confident that his brother will carry on the family line.

Now, he must play the role of a devoted suitor for the entire Season.In a game that quickly turns to seduction, the stakes have never been so scandalous.Lady Eliza might be beautiful, clever, and witty, but she's still a debutante.

But when Eliza steps up her attempts to seduce him, how long will he be able to resist the undeniable attraction between them?

She's a maid with big dreams.A dutiful lady's maid, Miss Madeline Atwater knows precisely what her future holds: countless nights of dressing her mistress in silk gowns, pinning her hair in elegant curls, and selecting the perfect pair of slippers before sending her off to the ball. But Madeline harbors a secret dream. Just once, she'd like to be the one who attends the grand party-and tonight could be her chance. All she needs to do is borrow her mistress's cast-off dress and sneak downstairs during the Twelfth Night Ball...He's no prince charming.Lord Justin Whitmoreland, Marquess of Whitmore, is a confirmed bachelor for good reason, and none of the eligible young ladies in London has even tempted him to change his mind about marriage. But after sharing one sensuous dance with a mystery woman, he finds himself looking for her around every street corner and in every ballroom. The very last place he expects his mystery woman to turn up is under his own roof.Can midnight work some magic?When Madeline is sacked from her job, Justin's meddling sister hires her as her new lady's maid. Which would be well and good if they didn't have to face temptation every day-and every night. Justin would have to be the worst kind of scoundrel to trifle with a woman in his employ, and Madeline believes she has zero chance of capturing a marquess's heart...so why is it so difficult for them to resist stealing private moments together? It's the most improbable of matches, but if the slipper fits...
