Series: Blydon Family Saga (also known as The Splendid Trilogy). Overview.

This paperback collection brings together Splendid, Dancing At Midnight and Minx, following the interconnected Blydon and Ridgely families through three scandal-filled London Seasons.

About the Books. This three-book set opens with Splendid, in which American heiress Emma Dunster arrives in London for a single Season, determined to return home to Boston and run her father's shipping business. Her plans unravel when she saves the young nephew of Alexander Ridgely, the notoriously marriage-averse Duke of Ashbourne, sparking an unexpected and passionate connection. In Dancing At Midnight, Emma's clever, independent cousin Lady Arabella Blydon retreats to the countryside to escape the Marriage Mart, only to meet Lord John Blackwood, a wounded war hero whose quiet intensity unsettles her carefully guarded heart. The trilogy concludes with Minx, in which Henrietta "Henry" Barrett — who runs a remote Cornwall estate in breeches rather than skirts — must contend with William Dunford, London's most elusive bachelor, after he unexpectedly inherits her guardian's property and title. Each novel stands alone but gains extra warmth read together, as characters and settings recur throughout. Written with Quinn's signature wit, sharp dialogue and emotional depth, these early novels reveal the storytelling instincts that would later make her one of the biggest names in historical romance.
