Elizabeth Gore-Langton was hardly in a position to refuse to accompany Lady Astley to the Christmas party at Stenton Castle. After all, a paid companion must follow her employer's wishes. It scarcely mattered that Elizabeth would be forced to face the man who had unknowingly broken her heart years ago during her first season. Most likely, the Duke of
Stenton wouldn't even recognize her. But once she looked up into his dark, piercing eyes, she knew this was a man who forgot very little and forgave even less. Well, she was no longer a blushing schoolgirl, and the dashing duke would soon find that a broken heart, once mended, could be formidable, indeed!

Charming, romantic, and painted with gorgeous Regency detail, Karla Hocker's romances will delight readers from the very first page.

Penelope Langham was all peaches and cream, but such stray thoughts made her blush bright red.At twenty-three, she was a model of feminine reserve and a dutiful niece to the aunt she lived with - yet secretly she yearned for a bit of adventure.

Now, with auntie's opals stolen and the household at sixes and sevens, Penelope was about to get her wish. But when a newsman from The Times came to cover the case, Miss Langham got more than she bargained for. Julian Rutherford was clever and nosy, as reporters are prone to be...and absolutely dashing. And while his sparkling eyes inspired lovely daydreams and his lively tales delighted her, Penelope maintained decorum; her heart had been broken once, and that was enough. However, when Julian insisted they team up to find the thief, Penelope's venturesome soul jumped with joy. To her surprise, her tender heart might soon follow suit.
