message 1: by loves to read (new)

loves to read | 2 comments I need help finding the title of atleast one book in a historical romance series that I read. I don't remember the title or the author.
I read 2 books in the series and would love to read the remaining. It is a series based on a family with 4 brothers and a sister. ( I think 2 of the brothers are twins)

book 1 ( about the eldest brother, he is marquess or viscount or an earl) - he is betrothed to a lady when she is born and when is a kid. he ignores her until she is well past the marriageable age and comes to collect her when he thinks its time, so the lady tries to break the engagement as he does not love her and she tries to find different ways to make him break the engagement, like shopping excessively, dressing as man and going to Whites to gamble, learns to drive the phaeton and challenges other lords. finally after a particular disaster and they get married but she is still not sure that he loves her and in the end she manages to get shot and finds out he loves her and they live happily ever after.

book 2 (second brother, mathematician, helps in decoding and encoding messages for the british army) - he decodes a particularly important message from Napolean which the french want. so a lady, who is the daughter of a very famous french mathematician, is bullied and scared for her families safety disguises as a maid and start working in the heroes house. they fall in love with each other but finally she has to steal the decoded message and leave to save her father and brother. the hero follows her to france saves her from the thugs and marries and brings her back.

I hope I make sense of the 300 page books in these short paragraphs and would be great if someone can figure out the name of either of the books.

I think the 3rd book in the series is about the sister.

Thanks in advance.
