The Secret Society of Governess Spies Series
NEVER SPAR WITH A VISCOUNT
~ Book 3 ~
The rules are simple: fake a relationship and solve a mystery. That should be easy . . . right?
Ivy Bennett has escaped the marriage mart once already—by becoming a governess to the new Lord Brackley’s unruly little sisters. Spending her days in the schoolroom and her nights running a secret self-defense class for women, she has absolutely no interest in a husband. So when Ivy is handed a secret assignment by the spymaster known as the Dove, she sees an opportunity: fake a courtship with the enigmatic Owen Brackley to avoid her conniving father’s attempts to marry her off, complete the mission, and finally secure her freedom.
Simple. Until it’s not.
Women across London are succumbing to a strange madness, and they all share a connection to Brackley—the same man who looks at Ivy like he sees right through her and is none too bothered by her lack of ladylike charm. As Ivy gathers gossip like breadcrumbs and dodges increasingly dangerous attempts on Brackley’s life, she realizes two things: someone wants the viscount gone, and the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it is to tell what’s real and what’s just part of the game.

NEVER GAMBLE YOUR HEART
~ Book 2 ~
To find her missing sister, an unconventional governess must infiltrate an infamous gambling den owned by a devilishly handsome rake.
Frankie Turner should be the perfect governess: she’s genteelly born, impoverished, and owns a pair of ugly oversized spectacles. Now if only she didn’t have an alarming tendency to forget her charges while contemplating mathematics principles...
When Frankie’s impulsive younger sister goes missing, Frankie has no idea where to begin the search to find her. But when she discovers hasty marriages materializing between “troublemaking” women and men who don’t deserve them—she knows her sister is somehow involved. The only thread connecting the groomsmen is a membership to Rockford’s, an exclusive gambling hell owned by the devilish Jasper Jones. And it just so happens that Jasper has recently become the guardian of a sullen fifteen-year-old.
Jasper suspects his new governess has an ulterior motive for being in his household, but he can hardly find the time to uncover it when his life is in a constant uproar. First, Frankie teaches his niece how to count cards and then she tries to break into his study. When he finally learns Frankie’s true reason for being there, he agrees to help the brilliant mathematician find her missing sister, even if it means giving her a fake dowry and watching men trip over themselves in her presence. As he and Frankie work together to dismantle a nefarious scheme, Jasper realizes that for the first time in his life, he’s gambled his heart—and possibly lost it.

NEVER BLOW A KISS
~ Book 1 ~
He can’t resist a woman who carries her own dagger . . .
Emily Leverton has spent her life trying to remain invisible. As a young thief on the streets, it kept her safe. Now, as part of a network of governesses who spy on the ton, her job depends on her ability to fade into the background. Until one night when she recklessly lets her true nature show and blows a kiss across a ballroom. And just her luck, she aims it at the one man who could never ignore her.
Straddling the worlds of the ton and the working class, railroad magnate Zach Denholm solves cases for the Metropolitan Police by day and dutifully attends balls at night. In neither world has he met anyone as intriguing as Emily—a smart, independent woman hiding more than her true name.
