Simon Merrithew, the pseudonymous author of a well-regarded fashion column, is horrified by the gown Delyth creates for a friend, and suspects her motives. He sets out to uncover her duplicity, but instead, he uncovers genuine joy and discovers the colors of love.No Accounting for Love by Megan FramptonMiss Katherine Grant is a lady's companion, one whose number of dishonorable offers (six) greatly outweigh her honorable ones (zero).

The Earl of Carmarthen also has big plans for the shop-he wants to buy it and tear it down, to make way for a grand new boulevard of shops. One way or another, he's determined to persuade Felicity...not only to sell her shop, but to explore the passion that sparks between them every time they meet.
