A MARRIAGE OF INCONVENIENCE

Lady Jane Barlow refused to hear of marriage to the Viscount Rossmere. Such a match would be an insult to the memory of the man whom Jane had loved and tragically lost. Moreover, Jane refused to put herself under the yoke of a lord who clearly thought himself superior to her and everyone else.

For his part, Rossmere wanted nothing to do with tying himself down to any one woman, especially not the infuriatingly independent Lady Jane. Much more to his taste was the exquisite Madeline Fulton, who offered a wealth of pleasure without demanding he pay with his freedom.

But Jane was single and needed a husband. And Rossmere was poor and needed an heiress. Which meant marriage was hard to resist--almost as hard as resisting a love that neither dared admit....

A Marriage of Convenience

Desperate to settle a debt regarding his estate, Baron William Ledbetter marries Prudence Stockworth in a hasty ceremony. The wealth she inherited in the wake of her fiance's death is enough to mend his financial affairs. But even if he didn't need the money, he finds himself entranced by her innocent beauty...

Prudence remains brokenhearted over the death of her fiance, but knows the time has come to marry rather than die a spinster. Although she is aware that Ledbetter has wed her only for her money, his forward advances frighten her pure sensibilities. And it will take all of her courage to trust this man whose passion knows no bounds--and find a love that is the greatest fortune of all...

The Fallen Woman

Beautiful and well-born Clarissa Driscoll lost her family home and social position when her reckless father died, leaving only gaming debts. That was bad enough--but it was even more painfully humiliating when the handsome, high-handed Earl of Kinsford became convinced she had lost her virtue as well.

Clarissa had to demonstrate to this domineering lord that being a woman alone in the world did not make her the natural victim of scandal. She had to block his probing into her most intimate secrets, stand up to his outrageous demands, and thwart his confident designs. She had to prove herself to be a lady who was his equal and more--in pride and propriety--but it became increasingly hard to do as she found herself falling in love with this man who saw her as a fallen woman....

TRELENNY REFUSED To MARRY CRANFORD!

With his talk of antiquities, his formal black cravat and his positively parental attitude toward her, Cranford Ashwicke seemed much too old to the bubbling, adventurous Trelenny. She'd known him all her life, and for that long, apparently, their families had wanted them wed. She refused even to consider the match.

But then Cranford took Trelenny and her mother on a trip--an eye-opening sojourn among the vacationing members of the London ton -- where she discovered much about his past, their present and her future.
