(2021)(The fifth book in the Regency Scandalous Romances series)
A collection of stories by Sally Forbes
True love comes in the form of a disguise...
Lady Juliet Barnet is faced with a dilemma when her mother reveals that her father plans to give her hand in marriage to the Earl of Falstone. Juliet's mother, fearing that her daughter will be doomed to a loveless marriage, devises a plan to help her escape. Juliet assumes the identity of Ellen Lewis and arrives as the newly-employed governess for the daughters of the Marquess of Belgreen.
Arthur Colborne is the reclusive Marquess of Belgreen. Since his wife's tragic death three years ago, he has spent time traveling in the Far East and Africa. But he finally returns home after receiving word from his mother who insists that his daughters need their father.
When Arthur first lays eyes on Juliet he can't deny the instant attraction he feels for her. As they spend time together, Juliet slowly begins to break down the walls surrounding Arthur's heart. But Juliet's past has found a way to reveal itself and now it's threatening to tear them apart. Will Arthur find the courage to fight for Juliet or lose her forever?
One should never be defined by their past because everyone deserves a second chance...
Lady Diana and her mother have returned to London to spend Christmastide with her father who has been away in the Far East. Five years ago during her debut, she fell madly in love with the Marquess of Winsby. But after revealing her secret to the Marquess, he called off their courtship. Fearing that Diana's reputation would be irreparably ruined, her mother sent her to stay with a distant cousin in Bath. But during the holiday season, Diana's old memories and secrets come back to haunt her.
Luke Egerton, the Duke of Norbury, is looking forward to his mother and her adopted daughter joining him for Christmastide in London. Seven years ago he was left heartbroken when Lady Claire confessed that she was in love with his best friend. From that day on, Luke vowed never to fall in love again.
When Diana's and Luke's paths cross they both feel an instant connection. But as feelings develop between them, a secret close to home threatens to shatter their blossoming love. Are Luke and Diana destined to be together for Christmastide or will their hidden secrets tear them apart?
A scandalous reputation, a chance encounter, will it end in true love?
Lady Bridget Atherton, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Brentfield, is in dire need of a husband. Her father is a wastrel and has squandered most of the family's fortune on drinking and gambling. Lady Bridget's reputation has been ruined by her father's scandalous behavior that led to a failed Season a year ago. She is left with no other choice but to pursue a gentleman whose reputation has been similarly tainted.
Peter Henderson grew up in America. He is stunned when he receives the news that he is the son of the late Earl of Hemingford. Peter is curious to learn more about the man he has never met and travels to London. But all is not what it seems when he arrives. He is given an ultimatum that if he wishes to claim his full inheritance he is to find a wife.
Bridget and Peter meet at a ball and there is an instant attraction between them. But with Bridget's reputation, a courtship between them will never work. Peter finds himself caught up in an unfamiliar world and it is brought to his attention that his father may have been murdered.
Can Bridget and Peter find their way to each other when the odds are stacked against them?
