Emily Larkin books in order

James Hargrave, Earl of Arden, urgently needed a wife--and who better than his best friend's sister?

He wasn't looking for passion in this marriage of convenience and plain Kate Honeycourt had been on the shelf for years.

Why, then, should she so firmly turn him down? Surely she couldn't be holding out for a love match? Although, curiously, the more he saw of Kate, the more aware he became of her attractions. Maybe love wasn't as impossible as he'd once thought....

NB: Emily Larkin writing as Emily May.

An elusive thief is haunting Regency London, stealing from the wealthy to give to the poor.

Arabella Knightley might be an earl’s granddaughter, but behind her back she’s known as Miss Smell o’ Gutters. All she can do is endure London’s barbs … and dispense a little justice on the side.

When London’s altruistic thief comes to his sister’s aid, Adam sets out to uncover the rogue’s identity … but what he discovers will turn his life upside down.

When a slip of her tongue brands the major an ogre—and his chances of marriage disintegrate—Isabella sets out to undo the harm she inadvertently caused. How better to revive the major’s marriage prospects than for the two of them to indulge in a make-believe flirtation? They both know it’s not real, so where’s the danger?

But Isabella is soon in over her head—and so is Major Reynolds.

One intrepid young lady, one imperiled earl, sundry nefarious villains … and a dash of dangerous magic.

Until Letty receives a proposal she can’t turn down.

Lord Octavius Pryor leads a carefree and untroubled life, until the night he visits Vauxhall Gardens in the guise of a woman.

What better way to heat up the chilly autumn nights than to indulge in a brief liaison? They’ll frolic between the sheets, laugh a little, restore Decimus’s standing as a rake, then go their separate ways.

Eloïse doesn’t believe in love and neither does Decimus . . . but love is coming for them both, whether they want it to or not.
