Eloisa James

When Lady Charlotte Daicheston encounters a masked stranger in a moonlit garden, a reckless moment of desire leaves her with a memory—and questions—that refuse to fade. Three years later, Alex returns to England with a child, a troubled reputation, and rumors surrounding his brief, unhappy marriage to an unfaithful Italian woman. As Charlotte confronts the man she has never forgotten, their renewed attraction challenges assumptions about honor, fidelity, and the secrets that stand between them. Set against the glittering world of Regency romance, this passionate tale explores second chances, mistaken identities, and the irresistible pull of desire.

Duchess in Love

Eloisa James

Married by proxy as a child, Gina has spent years building an independent life while her absent husband, Camden Serrard, has remained abroad and become the Duke of Girton. When Camden finally returns to England seeking an annulment, Gina is prepared to marry the charming Marquess of Bonnington—but the long-neglected marriage proves far less simple to dissolve than either expects. As old wounds, unresolved attraction, and clashing expectations surface, both must confront whether their youthful union can become something genuine. Set against the glittering world of Regency society, this witty, emotionally charged historical romance explores second chances, friendship, independence, and the surprising ways love can defy the plans of the heart.

Your Wicked Ways

Eloisa James

After a decade of dutiful marriage spent watching her scandalous husband pursue one affair after another, Helene, Countess Godwin, decides that virtue has earned her nothing—and rebellion may be just the cure. A daring transformation brings her face-to-face with Rees, the estranged husband whose charm, arrogance, and unresolved desire remain impossible to resist. As they rekindle the passion that first united them, Helene must decide whether their marriage can become something more than a name—or whether old wounds and wicked habits will keep them apart. Eloisa James combines sparkling wit, sensual romance, and emotional depth in this tale of second chances, marriage, and the perilous pleasure of breaking the rules.
