Marion Chesney - My Dear Duchess

The marriage between the handsome, dashing Duke of Westerland and beautiful Miss Frederica Sayers seemed like a logical one--until the duke discovered that his duchess could not be tamed, and the lovely duchess found that she would rather lose her spotless reputation than her beloved duke!

Marion Chesney - Pretty Polly

WHAT A PRETT PICKLE SHE’D GOT INTO--AND IT TASTED MORE SOUR BY THE MOMENT!

Blessed with beauty, Mrs. Manners never bothered with the lesser skills of grammar and spelling. So, in order to entrap a second husband, namely the dashing Duke of Denbigh, she needed Miss Verity Bascombe. Surely the modest chit would be honored to write her love letters.

Poor Verity! Her old schoolmate was as selfish as ever. But the lovely girl's gilded pen soon had the duke most intrigued by the poetic Mrs. Manners!

But alas, what began as a tiny deception became troublesome indeed--for Verity soon found herself enamoured of the handsome duke herself!

Marion Chesney - Finessing Clarissa

THE SCHOOL FOR MANNERS

Amy and Effy Tribble are matchmakers extraordinaire, but when Clarissa Vevian is sent to their School For Manners, the redoubtable Tribbles fear they have met their match. How can they possibly polish this potentially lovely, very tall girl? Yet it is not Clarissa's extravagant height that dissuades courtship so much as her awkward demeanor. For at her approach, tea tables totter, stemware shatters, lamps and bellcords are wont to perish... and prospective suitors take to their heels, for safety's sake!

Enter the dashing Earl of Greystone. The gallant bachelor is intrigued by this unconventional miss. Of course, his interest is merely brotherly, but the Tribbles are certain the new Clarissa will change that. And a kiss in the dark inspires Clarissa to agree ....

Marion Chesney - Sweet masquerade

"YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO, MASTER FREDERICK," SAID THE EARL. "OR SHOULD I SAY...MISS FREDERICA."

The tenth earl of Berham did not know what to do. An attractive 32-year-old bachelor, he was appointed guardian of one Freddie Armstrong, the eighteen-year-old grandson of his late father's dear friend. That was bad enough.

Then he discovered the boy was really a girl! It simply would not do to keep an unchaperoned young lady in his home.

The earl's frequent visitor, Lady Clarissa Rennenord, heartily agreed—but for less noble reasons. Hoping to snare the earl in marriage, her ladyship did not want any competition. She recommended that Freddie be sent to a seminary. No one but Lady Rennenord knew what a horrid place it was. No one, including Lady Rennenord, expected Freddie to escape.

Now Freddie was back. And the earl found her presence disturbing in more ways than one....

Marion Chesney - The Education of Miss Patterson

THE GRIM GUARDIAN

For lovely young Miss Patricia Patterson, life seemed a delightful dream-until the spectre of her guardian, Lord Charles Gaunt, cast a shadow over her carefree days of idleness and enchanting evenings of dazzling balls and delicious flirtations.

Lord Charles demanded she act the part of a proper and perfectly boring young Miss. Even worse, he insisted she devote her waking hours to cultivating her mind rather than captivating her swarm of admirers.

Thus the battle was joined between the handsome, arrogant aristocrat who had Patricia in his lawful power... and Patricia, who vowed to turn this hateful tyrant into her lovelorn slave ....
