Welcome to Book One in the fabulous new Book of Love series. A dingy old book tucked away in an old Regency London bookshop holds magic and love for those who use the 'recipes'!
When Lady Olivia Gosling finds The Book of Love in a musty bookshop, she is most eager to try out its love “recipes” on someone safe.
Did she say safe?
Well, Beast isn’t really safe, but with her odious guardian about to marry her off to one of his unsavory friends, Olivia needs her childhood friend to fall in love with her... fast. If Beast can love her, then any man she chooses will surely do the same.
Alexander Beastling, Duke of Hartford, is known as Beast among the ton. He is big and muscled, and there is a dark aura of mystery about him that he makes no effort to dispel. Now that he’s returned from battle, he’s appalled to learn of the marriage plans Lady Olivia’s loathsome guardian has for her. Beast has decided that he will help her find a proper husband, even if it means putting up with her ridiculous experiments taken out of a book she refers to as The Book of Love. Olivia calls them magical recipes for love.
Is it possible they actually work? Because suddenly, Beast can’t seem to get Olivia out of his mind... or his heart.

London, England
July 1815
Lady Olivia Gosling was minding her own business, browsing along the musty shelves of Gresham’s Antiquarian Books, when one of those books suddenly fell off the top shelf and landed on her head. “Ouch!”
She peered around the corner, certain that someone had carelessly knocked over the tome bound in faded red leather. But she was alone amid the narrow stacks bulging with old texts and piles of dust.
“The Book of Love,” she muttered, reading the title after picking it up and dusting it off. She placed it back on the shelf and sighed, for love is what she sorely needed to rescue her from her desperate situation.
The book promptly fell back atop her head. “Oh, for pity’s sake. Do that again and I shall toss you into the ash bin.”
She rubbed her head where a small lump was beginning to form. “Love, indeed.” The way her life had been going lately, she would never find happiness. She was doomed to have an unsuccessful debut Season. Doomed to be a wallflower. Doomed to be a spinster. Or worse, cast off in marriage by her guardian to one of his unsavory friends. “You are most certainly getting tossed into the ash bin.”
“Talking to books now, are we? Good afternoon, Goose.”
Olivia glanced up, startled. No one ever called her that except… oh, him. She did not need Alexander Beastling, the proud and mighty Duke of Hartford, adding to her dismal day. He’d thought himself quite witty when giving her that silly name all those years ago. Goose. Because her family name was Gosling. And that’s what he’d called her when she was a girl, Little Goose. His Little Goose.
