Summary
"No more running," he growled into her hair, one hand cradling the back of her head while the other anchored firmly at her waist. "Break if you must. Scream if it helps. But you will lean on me."
Sylus's palm slid up to grip at her nape—not painfully, but with undeniable possession—forcing her forehead against his collarbone. "Give me the weight, Emma," he commanded, his voice rough with something perilously close to concern. "Just this once... let someone else carry it."
OR
Sylus finds interest in Emma-Cecilia, affectionately nicknamed Emcie, and pursues her relentlessly until they both accidentally discover love in their own ways. But is love enough to conquer the weight of past evils?

Summary
Penelope knew the truth of her malady—call it hysteria or some other pretty name—she was lonesome. Her life was monotonous and dull, devoid of color. She had already reached out with both hands and grabbed for what little she was permitted to have and even some she wasn’t—balls, social events, a friendship with Eloise, Whistledown, independence. None of those erased the pain of a decade of being found wanting by the very men she was reared and raised to attract and serve. Dreams of being a wife and mother dying and curling into ash with every passing season.
There had to be more and yet all she found behind it was melancholy. She knew it wasn’t something that country air would fix. Country house parties had plenty of fresh air but didn’t shift her mood. Instead, she just found herself looking into her future and saw… bleak nothingness.
So yes, she knew she had to do something if she were to survive. Perhaps treatment for hysteria was the answer and Colin, it seemed, held the cure.

Summary
Pyrrha held up a hand. “Be patient with your sister. You know as well as I do of the impressions other Houses have of our traditions. There is no need to force Nona to begin her season a step behind the other debutants.”
“She already is a step behind. Just by being Ninth,” Harrow protested, but the fight was leaving her. It hurt, in some childish way, to watch her sister strip herself of their home. Of course Harrow only wanted the best for her, but why did that require the dissolution of everything that made the two sisters similar?
“Oh, Harrow,” Nona said. She reached across the carriage to grip Harrow’s hands in her own. “I know you only wish to look out for me. But you must allow me to make some decisions on my own.”
Her eyes were kind, unbearably so. Harrow turned her face to the window, letting her eyes water against the light. “As long as I get some say in choosing appropriate suitors.”
Nona squeezed her hands. “There’s no one else I’d trust more.”

Summary
Penelope and Eloise have been best friends for as long as they can recall. They are ride-or-die for each other and nothing can break them apart. When Pen presents as an omega and El a beta, it completely upends their plans to thumb their noses at society and end up as spinsters, strong women who do not need to rely on men to do things men are allowed to do in the world just by virtue of their sex. Now, due to the very nature of Pen’s biology, an alpha will almost necessarily be in the mix — or at least, there will be if Portia has anything to say about the situation.
At the same time, there’s a hidden power within the ton and society, and it’s growing restless. Overshadowed by flashier alphas, who demand attention and recognition by simple virtue of their superiority, omegas were content to allow the farce to continue. But as the suffrage movement gains traction, Pen and El cannot let go of their long-standing dreams, and a plan is devised. After all, if you cannot change your choices, why not change society, instead?

Summary
Lady Leonora Carington has come to terms with the idea of marriage -- frankly, it seemed necessary to get by in the cutthroat high society of Regency England. The only daughter in a family of five children, her mother has high expectations for her: namely, the title of the incomparable, the diamond of the season. But when the Queen proves resolute in her distaste of the season's debutantes, Nora is forced to adapt, all while avoiding the attentions of the very man she wishes to avoid.

Summary
Penelope didn’t like that persistent feeling, that doubt arising from deep within her and overshadowing the relief of being in her room, in her home, in a completely familiar place.
What was wrong? What was happening? Why that feeling...?
The door to the room opened with a long whisper, and a slender, delicate figure appeared in the doorway, illuminated only by the flickering candlelight. Penelope tensed. She had never liked people entering her room without knocking, and really, only her mother and sisters took that liberty in her house.
But the silhouette didn’t belong to Philippa or Prudence or her mother.
Marina.

Summary
“It does not matter, Cressida,” She says, sitting down beside her on the, certainly not made for sitting, little drawer in front of the window closest to Eloise’s table, “letters still exist and I would be delighted to exchange them with you.”
Cressida is afraid of putting meaning where there is none to put but she thinks she sees in Eloise’s eyes a desperate plea for agreement. It appears so concrete that it leaves Cressida speechless, she finds.
“Wouldn’t you?” Eloise asks when she doesn’t say anything and the desperate plea transforms to apprehensiveness and fearful disappointment.
“Yes,” Cressida swallows, “Yes, I would.” She gets up and says, more to herself than to Eloise, “It is settled then.”
