Fiddlesticks, thought Lady Mary Wagnall. Finding a husband couldn’t be that difficult. She knew she was no great beauty, and at the ancient age of 28 she was prepared to settle for an older gentleman, one happy to settle down and start a family of his own. Yet, one glimpse of the incomparably handsome Marquess of Rothayne put every practical plan to rout. Mary would be less than a woman if her heart remained unaffected by such a man, but more the fool for giving in to such folly! Nothing intrigued the Marquess of Rothayne more than a challenge, particularly where women were concerned. And Lady Mary Wagnall, with her quick-witted banter and forthright nature would certainly provide enough sport to alleviate his increasing sense of ennui. But as he helped to plot her course to matrimony, he began to wonder if it was to be his sworn bachelorhood which would succumb to her charming nature and lively smile!

Haunted Hearts

It was really most vexing! Two weeks into the London season and Lady Pamela Premington had already received her first offer of marriage. If only it hadn't come from the ton's most notorious rake! Lady Pamela was the first to admit the dashing and debonair Lord Marchmont was a fine specimen of a man, but having him as a husband was another matter altogether. Indeed, it was the distinguished Lieutenant Penford on whom Pamela had set her sights. On leave from the infantry due to a war injury, he possessed a heroism and honor that made him the ideal match. Now if only Pamela could keep from falling under the spell of the unabashedly seductive Lord Marchmont, she could pursue the man more worthy of her attentions. But was he worthy of her love?

A Scandalous Proposal

The Chase is on It all began when Regist, Viscount Collingsworth, overheard that scoundrel, Lord Willernott, laying odds at White's that he could woo and win the lovely Lady Stephana Monroe. Regist had always held the incomparable Stephana in the highest regard, but challenging Willernott's wager had just landed the impoverished nobleman in a coil. How was he to wed-in a mere two months-the lady who'd been dubbed the "Wild Goose Widow" for keeping eager suitors at bay? But Regist had underestimated his own charms. Stephana much preferred picnicking with him at the seashore and dancing in the rain together to attending boring old operas and stuffy society balls with Willernott. But dared she follow her heart's secret desires-no matter where they might lead?
