FOUR Regency romances in one book!
SPRING AWAKENING: Upon the death of her godfather, the beautiful Lady Rosalyn Tremayne inherits his large fortune and in the spring of 1816 she returns to London after a prolonged absence. Ten years earlier she had scandalised society by breaking her engagement to Lord Carfax. Now Lady Rosalyn's reappearance in the fashionable world causes much speculation. Could it be she has returned with the intention of rekindling that old flame, even though her sister is now Lady Carfax? Or perhaps she has decided to take a husband. Certainly there is no lack of admirers, including the fascinating yet wholly ineligible Rake Hellborn, whose expensive lifestyle demands an advantageous match.
SUMMER CHARADE: "That is what all this is about, Maria. Money! It is the reason we came to this dreary house, so that Papa could arrange good marriages for us all!"
In Georgian England, arranged marriages were commonplace, and a practical way of repairing a family's fortunes, but when Miss Christina Harpollet learns she is to be sacrificed upon the matrimonial altar, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Christina is plunged into a series of adventures, from which she is extricated by the kindness of Giles Malshanger and his family, but even when Christina thinks herself safe, her erstwhile suitor is seeking a terrible revenge.
A lively romantic adventure in the best Regency traditions.
AUTUMN BRIDE: When Major Lagallan suggests to Miss Caroline Hetton that she should marry his young brother, she can hardly believe her good fortune, and at first sight Vivyan Lagallan seems to be the perfect bridegroom; young, charming and exceedingly handsome. Yet upon closer acquaintance, Caroline is disturbed by his wild, restless spirit and discovers that he has a taste for excitement that eventually endangers not only his life, but hers, too.
WINTER INHERITANCE: Governess Verity Shore longs for a little adventure, then Rafe Bannerman arrives to carry her off to Highclough and Verity discovers that life can be a little too exciting! An estate the edge of the wild Yorkshire Moors, Highclough is Verity's inheritance, but she soon discovers that the land is coveted not only by her handsome cousin Luke but also by Rafe Bannerman and soon her very life is in danger.
Genre: Historical
