Lady Sparrow



Spreading Her Wings

Twenty-three-year-old heiress Minerva Caldwell has just buried her elderly husband--and she couldn't be happier. But when she starts rummaging through the old reprobate's account books, she discovers that the man she despised had plenty to hide. Starting with a slew of affairs--and twelve illegitimate children...

Mina vows to track down the orphans, and give them a home. Then she discovers that her own son--whom she thought dead at birth--may still be alive. With the help of handsome Lord Lowell, she embarks on a search that will risk her life--and her heart.

My Lady Innkeeper



IF A RAKE COULDN'T MAKE A GIRL'S HEART BEAT FASTER, HE WAS NO GOOD AT HIS JOB!

A tempting package of wealth, lineage and beauty, Miss Lyndell Markham had managed to avoid every roguish expert with rakish ways. Men, she decided, were toads, especially her ne'er-do-well stepbrother, who took her money, bought a tawdry inn, and was currently in the gallows for his suspected role in a spy ring.

Although Lyndell knew her stepbrother to be a fool, he was no traitor. She knew what she must do-- leave London, disguise herself as the new innkeeper and trap the spy herself!

But her newest guest, the Marquis of Cheyne --war hero, lady's man, and general rogue about the ton--could ruin Lyndell if he knew her identity. Surely, she was too smart to succumb to his convincing embrace....

Rake's Ransom



MADCAP TOMBOY
When the local magistrate jailed Jacelyn Trevaine's pet dog as a public nuisance, the country miss knew he meant to blackmail her into socializing with his nephew. High-spirited Jaceelyn decided to free her dog by kidnapping the precious nephew-but unfortunately she abducted the wrong gentleman! Her captive was none other than handsome Lord Leigh Claibourne-returned war hero and rake extraordinaire. And four hours alone with the libertine Earl was tantamount to social ruin. Of course if she was already ruined, Jacelyn may as well give society something to be scandalized about...

HARDENED WOMANIZER
Claibourne found country life tiresome and dull ... until he was kidnapped by an irrepressible chit whose candor was utterly disarming. Even rakes have their points of honor, however, and when the situation threatened to compromise Jacelyn, the
cynical nobleman was forced to give the appearance of being betrothed to her. Claibourne never gave something for nothing. And in the case of the deliciously appealing Jacelyn, he'd hold her reputation hostage-for a rake's ransom.

The Earl and the Heiress





Noell Armstrong's father had been a delightful rake in his day, but when he died his only legacy was a mountain of debts and a houseful of puppies-the offspring of the exotic dog the Viscount had brought home to his wife during his days with the Foreign Office. Happily, when Noelle inherited her aunt's townhouse and a bit of money, a London debut was once again a possibility. What better way to attract the attention of the ton than by creating a new rage for delightful little Maltese dogs? Noelle's puppy ad in the London Gazette brings quick response... from one of London's most eligible bachelors, the Earl of Wrenthe. And amid a flurry of white fur, spirited sparring and secret capers, the lovely young Noelle quickly wins her entree to Almacks and to the heart of the Earl as well!

The Primrose Path




'TWAS MORE THAN JUST A BONE OF *******ION BETWEEN NEIGHBORS!

Seventh Viscount Knowle--a war hero, a rising star in politics, a nonpareil in tonnish circles-- has become a laughingstock. His legacy has gone to the dogs--literally. Primrose Cottage has been inherited by a hoard of hairy heirs under the doting care of his late aunt's companion, Miss Angelina Armstead.

Angelina couldn't be happier, even as lady Sophie's toplofty nephew shamelessly tries to reason with, bribe, threaten, and kiss her (twice!), hoping to persuade her to leave. He fails, of course, fearing that he's lost not only his inheritance but his heart as well ....
