The Splendid Trilogy
- Dark and Troubled Past: John, who once failed to save a young girl from rape.
- Meet Cute: Alex and Emma. He knocks her down and mistakes her for a servant.
The Lyndon Sisters
- Abduction Is Love: After Victoria tells him to go away, Robert kidnaps her and takes her to a cottage in the middle of nowhere.
- Frameup: A rather more gentle example than usual - someone is framing Eleanor so that she looks incompetent, as opposed to guilty.
Two Dukes of Wyndham
- Sympathetic P.O.V.: The duology is told from two main perspectives: that of the long-lost Duke of Wyndham, and that of the current Duke of Wyndham (who is understandably unhappy at the prospect of losing his inheritance).
The Bevelstoke Series
- Brainless Beauty: Averted. Olivia may be exceptionally pretty, but she is by no means stupid. In fact, she's rather pragmatic (certain spying escapades aside) and would much prefer a newspaper to a novel.
- Convenient Miscarriage: Miranda miscarries her baby before she has to marry Turner.
- Moustache de Plume: Inverted. Sebastian is Sarah Gorely. He started writing as a way to fill his nights when he became an insomniac after he served in the army. He hides his identity ostensibly because be doesn't want to deal with people asking him to write their stories, but a later conversation with Annabel reveals that he does so because some part of him believes that it is a "rather silly, undignified pursuit". After Annabel ensures him that she doesn't think that, he's much mollified.
- Secretly Wealthy: He's not fabulously rich, but Sebastian can afford to anger his uncle.
