Ladies of Munro, a series of 5 books:
Miss Sophia Grant has quietly accepted her fate as a spinster. Her legs weakened by childhood illness and her widowed father’s grief all but imprisoning her at home, she finds solace in the company of her younger siblings and satisfaction in writing poetry. She never expected love, or a letter that would change everything.
Tobias Mannerly lives for the written word. And no words have ever stirred him the way Miss Grant’s poetry does. Compelled to write her, he sends a letter full of admiration… and unknowingly opens a door to her heart.
But how can Sophia tell her beau that she can never marry? If her father even suspected her feelings, he would be furious. Clinging to his remaining family has made him unreasonable.
It is just the sort of challenge love is made to overcome, if only Mr. Mannerly can convince Sophia she deserves a happy ending.

An arranged marriage, sight unseen… or have they met before?
Viscount George Howell is tired of shallow courtship and whispered mockery. Awkward in conversation and weary of the Ton’s polished façades, he seeks a bride who might accept him for who he truly is. When he learns of Miss Ellena Trenton, dutiful, graceful, and untouched by society’s games, he arranges their betrothal with hope in his heart.
Ellena, however, has no such hope. Raised to expect a joyless union like that of her parents, she braces herself for a loveless marriage. But fate intervenes when a carriage mishap leaves her stranded in the woods, alone with a kind stranger she cannot forget.

A man with a past could change her future.
Having failed to win the hand of the woman he loves, William Cole returns to his childhood home the same vain, shallow gentleman who relies too much on his charm and good looks. He wants to join the military, but his father decides William should take over the reins from the retiring vicar and—while he’s at it—marry the vicar’s daughter.
Unlike William, Verity Lockhart has changed in the five years since he saw her last. While he might remember her as a quiet, mousy sort of girl, she has developed opinions and habits deemed unsuitable for a young lady, the worst of which is a fascination with science and—gasp!—insects. No man, says her mother, would want a wife who is always running off with a butterfly net.
William and Verity can agree on one thing only: they have no desire to marry each other. They will have to encounter an utterly shameless rogue, an unusually honorable gentleman, and a very real war to form a love so deep, it could be the best choice either has ever made.
