FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED
A wistful collection of tales set during the regency era. Chivalrous scoundrels, daring maidens and dastardly schemes that need defeating. Available at current price for a limited time only. Regina Darcy weaves compelling stories, spanning Cornwall to Paris. They will leave you curious to find out how it all ends.
A six story collection, which includes the following:
1. The Arrangement
Miss Teresa Jamieson is well on her way to becoming a spinster. Having missed her debut in polite society years earlier because of an absentminded father and no mother to chaperone her, she is resigned to her fate. Finding out that her father has struck a gentleman's agreement with one of his oldest friend, the Earl of Dunlop, to marry her off to his son and heir leaves her shocked to the core. But fate has something else in store. A memory lost, a damsel rescued. Sometime you just can't escape your destiny.
2. Capturing the Duke's Heart
Miss Eleanor Alder has just lost her father. If Reginald Wolfgang, her guardian has his way, she might lose more. Eleanor flees her cruel guardian straight into the arms of the Duke of Denville, a rogue of the worst sorts, well... according to rumour anyways. If the choice is between a lover of women and a deranged mad man, she will gladly chose the former. But the Duke is about to offer her a proposal that she might just rather refuse. But beggars can't be choosers and Eleanor is about to learn that sometimes, life give you exactly what you need.
3. The Duke's Obsession
Lady Desdemona Carlisle has just lost her husband, and if the creditors have any say, she is also about to lose her house. If the Marquis de Chambray has his way, she might also lose her son. Desdemona flees France, and begs sanctuary from her brother-in-law, the Duke of Danberry. But the flame that once burned between both of them is still there. But the heart knows to boundaries and the duke will soon be lost. With a vindictive Marquis on the loose will the Duke of Dunberry be able to save the day AND gain the widows heart?
4. Tempted by a Duke
Miss Josephine Dudley loves horses. The daughter of an affluent landowner, who has fallen on difficult times, she has always dreamt of marrying the Earl of Langdon, who has the best stable in the county. She firmly believes she is on that course until through a chance encounter she meets the Duke of Granger. What starts out as loathing, soon turns into something else. But can a dashing rogue really turn into a handsome prince?
5. A Spinster for the Marquess
Miss Charlotte Cadogan was ill-used by her former fiance, Lord Wallace Barker, whilst Charles, the Marquess of Astor was made to look a fool by his former fiancee, Miss Sarah Douglas. When their siblings start courting each other, the weary pair are both determined to save them from love's perils. But whilst trying to keep their siblings apart, Charlotte and Charles find themselves drawn to each other, like moths to a flame. But torn between the mind and the heart, the past refuses to let them go.
6. A Game of Chance
Lady Eleanor Drake is not loved by her father. In fact, the Duke of Hainsworth loves none of his daughters. The oldest, Martha, has been disowned for disobeying him. Another sister wed to a despicable man. And Eleanor's twin, Alice, has run off with the Lord Lester instead of going through with her own terrible marriage. So Eleanor should not have been surprised to find out that her father has gambled her hand away. Fleeing from the horror, which must be waiting for her, she finds herself a both saviour and saved in the arms of the Marquess of Fareshire. He is about to turn her world upside down. Sometimes the heart wants what the mind has yet to comprehend.
