Amid the glamour and intrigue of the Congress of Vienna, Lena Arenheim and her musical family perform at aristocratic soirees to make ends meet.

Amid opulent ballrooms and echoes of forgotten memories, Lina embarks on a quest to uncover the secrets of her past.
For Julius Stafford-Hill, Duke of Aldingbourne, the wounds of a tragic loss still linger after eight long years. When he encounters a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to his late wife Catherine, he will do anything to uncover the truth, even if it means immersing himself in her world and facing the everyday challenges of a common middle-class life.
Can the lost Duchess be found, and can they rebuild a love that transcends the boundaries of time and circumstance?
A Forbidden Love. A Secret Identity. A Royal Scandal.
In the dazzling courts of Vienna during the Congress, love defies an empire. When the emperor’s charming son falls for a spirited English commoner, their secret romance must be kept hidden at all costs.
Philippa Cranwell has lost everything, yet she refuses to lose hope. When the man she loves mysteriously vanishes, she follows the faintest trail to Vienna and accepts a dangerous bargain with the Secret Police. Disguised as a palace maid, she is meant to uncover answers, not lose her heart.
Klemens Lindenstein is nothing like the man she remembers. Once her father’s brilliant, carefree student, he now moves through the imperial court with effortless charm, concealing a truth that would shatter her world. For Klemens is Archduke Leopold Klemens of Austria, the emperor’s scandalous youngest son and the court’s most whispered-about rake: Prince Lucifer.
When their paths collide in the glittering halls of the Hofburg Palace, old affection ignites into something dangerously irresistible. But with Pippa bound to the Secret Police and Klemens bound to his imperial duty, their love becomes a dance of secrets and stolen moments that could destroy them both.

Book 1: The Forgotten Duke
A lifelong betrothal. A chance encounter. And a mistake that changes everything.
Engaged since childhood to the formidable Field Marshal Georg von Hartenberg, Evangeline Stafford-Hill is quite certain her future husband must be cold, humourless, and old enough to be her father. Determined to see the truth for herself, she sets out to find him—for what could possibly go wrong?
Only everything.
Stranded by a storm at a crowded inn, a desperate Evie passes her feverish companion off as “Lady Evangeline” to secure the last available bed. She has no idea she has been overheard by the gentleman himself. Mistaking the invalid companion for his intended bride, Field Marshal Georg von Hartenberg assumes the real Evie is nothing grander than a sharp-tongued lady’s maid.
Georg has not survived a war by letting anyone close, least of all a slip of a girl with a quick wit and a gift for turning up where she should not. He has no intention of losing his head to anyone, least of all to a servant.
Yet behind the waltzes, Vienna plays a deadlier game. When a ruthless, shadowy organisation threatens the people she loves, Evie is forced into an impossible bargain: betray the very man she is coming to love, or lose everything.
As deception folds into deception, two people armoured against love find themselves perilously outmatched. And when the truth comes out, it will either ruin them both or hand them the one thing they never dared want.
The False Bride is a sweet and clean Regency romance brimming with wit, warmth, and a thread of danger. Perfect for fans of betrothed strangers, mistaken identities, and grumpy heroes.
