"A MUST READ FOR ANY HISTORICAL ROMANCE READER WHO LOVES A GOOD ROMP THROUGH ENGLAND!"- My Book Addiction & More
Four unforgettable stories about four beautiful, high-spirited women and the men who are fighting to claim their hearts... From best-selling romance author Jillian Eaton, this is one collection you do not want to miss.
RUNAWAY DUCHESS
A wealthy entrepreneur with a dark past, Gavin Graystone is not looking for love. But he does need a wife. Setting his sights on Charlotte Vanderley, a lady of impeccable breeding - albeit questionable temperament - he makes it clear from the very beginning that emotion will have no place in their relationship. As far as he is concerned marriage is a business contract. Nothing more and nothing less.
Desperate to escape her engagement to the lecherous old Duke of Tarrow, feisty, free-spirited Charlotte jumps at the opportunity to marry Gavin. Running away with him will mean defying one of the most powerful men in all of England, but Charlotte has never let a little adversity - or a surly rogue - stand in her way. Gavin may not be a fairy-tale prince, but he's certainly better than a man three times her age. And he's an excellent kisser.
But marriages of convenience rarely go as planned, and as Charlotte and Gavin embark on a journey that will take them from Gretna Green to the rolling hills of Southampton and the crowded streets of London, they find themselves doing the one thing they both vowed they would never do.
SPINSTER AND THE DUKE (novella)
Thirty years have passed since Reginald Browning, Duke of Ashburn, chose duty over love. After three decades spent abroad, he has at long last returned to England to reclaim his ducal estate...and the woman he should have married.
Abigail was just a young, naive girl when she fell in love with a man too far above her reach. Now a confirmed spinster, she has forgiven the boy who broke her heart but she has never forgotten the man. When Reginald unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep she wants nothing to do with him, fearful of stirring up old feelings that should have died long ago.
But true love can only be denied for so long. After a lifetime spent apart, will Reginald and Abigail finally find their happily-ever-after?
FORGOTTEN FIANCEE
Engaged to be married since they were children, Miss Dianna Foxcroft and Lord Miles Radnor, Earl of Winfield, were perfect for one another. Until the day he left her standing at the altar and disappeared for parts unknown, breaking their engagement... and Dianna's heart.
Four years have passed since that fateful day, and Miles has at long last come home to England. His sudden return has filled Dianna's head with questions, and her heart with doubt. She wants to trust the man Miles has become... but how can she forgive the boy who betrayed her?
He may have traveled the world, but Miles has never forgotten the blue-eyed beauty he left behind. Determined to win back the heart of the only woman he has ever truly loved, he seeks Dianna out only to discover she despises the very sight of him. Or so she says...
LADY HARPER (novella)
High-spirited, independent, and rebellious, Lady Harper has no intention of finding a husband. And why should she, when every man she's ever met has bored her to tears? That is, every man except for one...
The Duke of Greenwood may be many things - arrogant, rakish, and a cad, to name a few - but boring he isn't. After a chance encounter with Harper leaves him entranced, he vows to make her his wife...The only problem? She can't stand the sight of him.
But the duke is a man accustomed to getting what he wants, and he's determined to have Harper...no matter the cost.
