But the closer they came to conception, the more Sam wanted to make things personal. Could he convince Corrie that, together, they had what it took to create the home and family they both craved?

But Phoebe, who's still trying to make good after a romantic scandal, also has her two cousins to contend with. They're all competing for the same money, maybe even the same men...until Phoebe meets her match in the handsome and charming Rafe Marbrook.

When a proposal comes from the Marquis of Brookhaven, Phoebe is thrilled that Rafe is headed for dukedom and accepts his offer. There's only one problem: It's from Rafe's older, less captivating brother, Calder.

Then Graham unexpectedly gains a title, a ruined estate and severe debt. He must find a rich wife--quickly. As his bride-hunt begins, Sophie realizes she isn't even in the running. No longer content to be a wallflower, Sophie transforms to become the belle of the ball. Yet this beauty has secrets of her own. Will she be Graham's salvation, or seal his fate?

And then people around them start dying mysteriously. The whole thing is turning into A ROYAL PAIN!
