Some proposals: 'A week to be wicked' by Tessa Dare, 'Beguiling the beauty' by Sherry Thomas, 'Flowers from the storm' by Laura Kinsale (maybe? for this one), and 'The mad earl's bride' by Loretta Chase.

I saw this list since I've read 'The luckiest lady in London' and immediately thought 'Wait, I have more of those!'. Hadn't realised this was a theme in my HR for me - the more you learn 😌.
