The Betrothal

The two cousins could not be more opposite. Louisa Elliot nurtures a defiant spirit, while Lady Meg never dares to rebel or speak out. Orphaned as children they were raised by their overbearing grandmother who has definite plans for them. The cousins are distraught when the countess decrees they shall be wed--Louisa to a timorous squire and Meg to the haughty Duke of Hargrove. Louisa vows to rescue them from this fate.

From the moment the duke, Meg's intended, frees Louisa from a hollow log, his heart is ensnared and his carefully honed life set awry. Rumors of financial ruin put about to aid the duke's capture of an enemy agent add credence to the misinformation Louisa gathers to discredit him and save her cousin. Then Louisa discovers she loves the duke.

Hargrove is forced to court Meg in order to see her spirited cousin. As Louisa's wedding date approaches, Hargrove decides to throw caution to the wind. Despite a tryst set with a French spy at his summer home, he invites the countess' party. Amidst madcap chases, nefarious dealings, and kidnappings, and despite mounting evidence that Hargrove is a traitor, Louisa risks all to prove his innocence.

The Promise Rose

A tingle of pleasure startled Lady Barry as she accepted the hand of the masked stranger at Raneleagh Gardens. But he is now the Earl of Prideau and no stranger, having broken his pledge of love in their youth. Suddenly he is everywhere she turns.

Lady Barry, struggling to free her late husband's estate, Gromley Hall, from his debts, finds her life turned awry with the revelation of his identity. Attempts are made on her stepson's life and she is accused. This charge does not worry her as much as Prideau, who torments her.

When a summer house party is arranged at Gromley Hall, all pieces of the puzzle are in one place. Will Prideau be discovered as the villain or will he, as Lady Barry's heart dares to hope, solve the mystery and once again present her with a promise rose?

The Audacious Miss

In her brother's breeches Miss Audacia Aderly was far too improper for words . . . and for her own good!

Hadn't she already been mistaken for a boy by none other than Lord Greydon, the dashing Roland himself? It was high time for Audacia to be packed off to London to stay with her godmother and learn the ways of the ton. The thought of Audacia learning to become a lady was enough to bring Roland along for a laugh. But all too soon the delicious minx was abuzz with beaux . . . and up to her pretty neck in scandal. Was it too late to be a proper London lady and capture the one she loved?

The Curious Rogue

In the dark of night he leaped into her coach, swept her into his arms, and kissed her with a fervor that haunted her still.

But he had vanished as mysteriously as he had appeared. How could Elizabeth now marry a powdered fop like the Comte de Cavilon? Elizabeth's plain features concealed a proud beauty. Her sharp tongue hid a woman of daring and wit . . . a woman who longed for a rogue's passionate kiss even as she was drawn to a dandy's curiously tender ways.

Soon she would be forced to choose. Was there more to love than met the eye?

Rescued by Love

They could dream to their hearts' content, but how could those dreams ever come true? Petite, raven-haired Sarita and her sister, Deborah, were Reverend Durham's daughter's, struck away in a remote Sussex rectory where tyrannical Lord Pergrine kept them impoverished and in danger.

The breakdown of a coach and the sudden arrival of spritely Lady Phillippa, Dowager Marchioness of Bawden, plump Lady Imogene, Dowager Countess of Lackland, and haughty Lady Brienne, Dowager Baroness of Mickle seemed designed only to make matters worse. How could they know that the ladies had ridden in search of adventure?

Mayhem, matching--and matrimony--were bound to follow in their wake!
