The Duchess's Next Husband
Terri Brisbin
All Miranda Warfield had ever wanted was to be a
wife to a man, not a title, but her marriage to
Adrian, Duke of Windmere, had been merely a polite
ton alliance for years. Now, miraculously, the tender,
loving Adrian of her youth had returned, making her
feel like a bride again. But dare she trust their
rekindled romance? For why was Adrian suddenly
arranging clandestine meetings with his solicitor?
And asking her opinions on several marriageable
gentlemen of the ton? Did her husband's eyes betray
a secret his ardent lips denied…?
Dreaming
Jill Barnett
The Earl of Downe has come home to rusticate from this wild ways--spurred by his need to prove his father was right...that he is nothing but a worthless rake. But at a neighboring estate, Letty Hornsby believes dear Richard is her hero, her dream man, her heart's desire! She's been in love with him since childhood, since she was eleven and accidentally knocked him into a river, the first of several such disastrous encounters. Now that the earl's friends have convinced him to leave Town and recuperate from overindulgence (women, alcohol and gambling), Letty is taking advantage of the opportunity and spinning her own plan to save Richard from himself.

Richard expects his life to be boring and restful once he's home, but after a chance encounter with the meddlesome Letty and her obnoxious dog, Gus, he discovers there is no rest for the wicked. He soon finds himself captive aboard a smugglers' ship with an adoring young woman who is a walking catastrophe...and her enormous clod of a dog. Never missing a beat, she gets them into one hilarious predicament after another before Richard realizes that she might be the one woman who can save his black soul with a faith in him that is bright enough to burn the shadows from the darkest heart. If he can survive....

Publishers Weekly starred review. "A ray of summer sunshine!" Jill Barnett has concocted another charming tale filled with witty dialog, plenty of humor and a sprinkling of magic.
The Duke's Quandary
Book 2
London 1814. Drake, Duke of Manchester is searching the Marriage Mart for a perfect bride. He wants a woman who is poised, sophisticated, and worthy of the title Duchess. But most of all, he wants a woman who does not want the useless emotion of love.

Socially awkward Miss Penelope Clayton isn't meant for marriage. A serious botanist, she has no desire to wed, so being forced by her guardian to participate in the Season to find a husband is torture. She'll never fit in with the ton, especially if they discover she's been pretending to be a man within the scientific community.

As Drake's family makes over Penelope, turning her from naive bluestocking to enchanting debutante, he is put upon to introduce her to society and eligible bachelors. Despite dance lessons and new gowns, Penelope is the opposite of poised and sophisticated as she stumbles from one mishap to the next. Why then, does he find it so hard to resist her?

The Bengal Rubies
Lisa Bingham
A love torn apart by fate is rejoined once more by destiny in this enthralling Regency romance penned by “a master storyteller” (Affaire de Coeur).
 
Long ago, a young boy and girl were set to one day wed—he, the son of a schoolmaster; she, the daughter of a beautiful noblewoman. Before that happened, the girl’s tyrannical monster of a father interceded, hiding his daughter away and forcing the boy into exile . . .
 
Now, the beautiful Aloise Crawford is set to be auctioned off to the highest bidder by her own father. But she escapes the ship carrying her—only to find herself at the feet of a dark stranger with a face as angry as it is alluring.
 
For years, Slater McKendrick has lived in the shadows, awaiting his chance to seek vengeance against the man who stole his life, his love, and family’s precious jewels, the Bengal Rubies. And when Aloise arrives on his lonely beach hideaway, it seems as if the opportunity has at last been delivered into his arms.
 
As captor and captive grow closer, they soon realize that they are bound by something more than either can resist—and that their only chance for true freedom is to face the dangers of the past.
The Rose at Twilight
Amanda Scott
Two enemies during the War of the Roses must marry by decree of the conquering king
Proud and beautiful Lady Alys Wolveston is left without a protector at the end of a decisive battle in the bloody War of the Roses. She refuses to accept Henry Tudor as the legitimate king; her loyalty is to the late Richard III and his Queen Anne, her beloved foster mother. But the Welsh knight Sir Nicholas Merion prevents Alys from returning home and carries her off to London to become the King’s ward . . . and, eventually, Sir Nicholas’s wife. She refuses to submit to the arrogant Welsh warrior, plotting with his enemies and fiercely denying her attraction to him. But as she comes to know the battle-hardened man’s humor and generosity, and experiences his thrilling touch and the comfort of his strength, she can’t help but lose her heart to him. Now Alys will find herself trapped in deadly political intrigues that demand that she choose between love and loyalty to a once-great king.
