The Aristocrat Diaries Boxset

A boxset of the three books in The Aristocrat Diaries series by Emma Hart.LADY LOVE:An aristocrat and a gardener walk into a bar, and the barman says—never mind. They walked into a shed, and they’re kissing. Oops.My name is Lady Gabriella Hastings, and there are three things you need to know about me.One: my idiot brother will inherit the estate I’ve adored my entire life. Two: my father wants me to marry an idiot who has an estate like this. Three: my aunt’s goats keep escaping and terrorising the public.Oh, and I have a huge crush on the gardener.Except I have absolutely no time to sort my own love life, because I’m too busy moonlighting as an online agony aunt to fix everyone else’s problems.If only I could stop having inappropriate feelings about Miles Kingsley, the grumpy, bearded gardener of Arrowwood Hall.He hates me, and I’m not quite sure why. My own horticultural dreams are about to slip through my fingers, and he’s the one person who can help me.If only he wasn’t such a classist bas—ahem.But when a storm leaves us stranded at the estate with no power, and one of my assignments means I need his help, and a fancy party forces truths to come to light, there might just be a chance for us after all…DATING THE DUKE:A duke and a writer walk into a bar, and the barman says—never mind. They’re in the library, and they’re not wearing any clothes. Oops.My name is Adelaide Astley, and if there was anything remotely exciting about me to tell you, I would.Sure, my uncle is the Duke of Leicester, and my mother bucked family tradition to marry “below” her and open a hotel, but I’m nothing but an aspiring author with a Tudor era obsession.Oh, and I’m spending the summer tutoring the daughter of the current Duke of Worcester—who happens to be a regular in my highly inappropriate midnight dreams.Thirty-year-old Alexander Winthrop-Bentley is so not my type, but hours of chess games and arguments over Tudor dynasties mean we’re thrown together more often than we should be. And when he shares with me that he needs a date for a charitable event, my mouth betrays me by offering myself up for the evening.How I find myself naked in the library is another matter entirely. Ahem.When the society papers declare us an item, neither of us have the heart to tell our families the truth. Only my twin sister and best friend know the truth, but they both agree we need to keep up the charade, even if only for the summer.But when the end of August comes and my return home beckons, I have to ask myself a question.Is it only his daughter who’s stolen my heart, or has Alexander done the very same thing?THE ACCIDENTAL COUNTESS:An earl and an artist walk into a bar, and the barman says—never mind. They’re in a church, and they’re married now. Oops.My name is Evangeline Astley, and the only thing you need to know about me is that I never imagined this was how my life would go.I was supposed to devote all my time to painting gorgeous things to eventually open my own art gallery. Instead, I spent it all trying to sell my art to save my parents’ hotel.Cue the Earl of Anglesey and his not-so-stunning idea.Matthew Bennett needs an heir to the earldom, but for an heir, he needs a wife. And I’m the one the extremely eligible bachelor has chosen. Except I’m just as marriage-phobic as he is, so naturally, I refused—until he gives me an offer that I couldn’t.If I agreed to marry him, provide an heir, and divorce amicably in due course, he would save The Fox and Hound hotel that I love so much.That, ladies and gents, is how I became the Countess of Anglesey.The one thing I didn’t count on, however?Falling in love with my husband.
