1995-96 RT Reviewers' Choice -- First Regency Romance


Marriage by Misadventure

Miss Caroline Cummings was a vicar's daughter, the picture of propriety and the soul of innocence. Thomas Mannering was the most irresistible and infamous rake in the realm, whose drinking, gambling, and womanizing had exiled him from polite society. Only the most bizarre of accidents could have made Caroline his bride-but accidents do happen and did.

Now Caroline's happiness was in the hands of a libertine lord who taught her the pleasures of love but who himself was besotted with another man's ravishing wife. This gave Caroline the choice of either settling for the scraps of Mannering's affection or battling a supremely dazzling and designing beauty for the heart of a man who might well have none ....

The Second Lady Emily


Twice Loved

What an absurd flight of fancy! Could a stumble have rendered Cherlynn Cardington unconscious during a visit to Broadbanks Hall, only to awaken in 1812 as Lady Emily Fairchild? Yet right before her stunned eyes stood a handsome man, the living image of a portrait hanging over the downstairs mantel. He was Drew, Sixth Marquess of Broadbanks, and Emily's secret suitor.

Cherlynn had read about the Broadbanks family, and the curse that brought tragedy to them for generations. It began after Lady Emily's sudden death and Drew's hasty union with an utterly wicked woman. Now Cherlynn had been sent back in time to stop Drew's wedding and to give Emily and Drew a second chance. But could she be a convincing Regency lady, dancing the intricate steps of social manners, flirtations, and irresistible seductions? Would she feel Drew's burning love for Emily, taste its fire on her lips, only to be parted from him forever?

The Unscrupulous Uncle



The Suspect Suitor

Catherine Braxton had adored Damon ever since she was a little girl, and Damon was her older brother's best friend. But that was long ago. Her brother was gone now, slain in war. Catherine herself was an orphan in a household of rapacious relations who had reduced her to shocking servitude. And Damon had become the Earl of Devlin, engaged to the most beautiful belle of the ton.

Why then had he come to see her after eight years? Why did he claim he wanted to wed her, when it was clear he passionately loved another? Was Damon paying a secret debt to her brother at cruel cost to himself? Or was he intent on making a fortune by taking Catherine to be his wife? Catherine had to find the answer--even though it might break the heart she had long ago lost to him. ...

Dangerous Gossip

Among the ton, the young innocent Mary Seabrook is positively out of place. She'd rather go bird watching than go to the ball, and her embarrassing habit of speaking the truth gets her nothing but funny looks. If her peculiar behavior keeps up all season, she may never find a man to marry...

But when her bird-watching eyes catch sight of Lord Grayson, she sees right through his bad reputation to the intelligence and good humor beneath. Unfortunately, she can also see that danger follows Grayson at every turn and that his many mishaps are more than mere coincidence--someone wants him dead, but why? Could the kind lord Grayson have something to hide after all...?
