♻️ Book's Info:

The Scottish Governess:

The Scottish Governess: Mrs Constance Leslie is desperate. Cut off by her family long before, and now a widow for two years, with her employment completed, she faces starvation for herself and her ailing mother-in-law. Though her past work has been as a governess and companion, at this juncture, even the chance to work as a maid at Blackwood Chase looks good. But working there will challenge everything about her, as she deals with her employer’s thoroughly spoilt daughters, and her own undeniable attraction to the Earl. Peregrine Stapleton, the Earl of Blackwood, still grieves his first wife, although she has been gone five years and more. His grief has led him to spoil his daughters, and now he must face the fact that, before the eldest is introduced to society, the behaviour of all three must be repaired. Nothing seems to have any effect, and the only thing which distracts him from despair is fighting his attraction to the new maid – who seems far more educated and confident than any housemaid he has ever seen before. Not to mention her beauty… When the daughters’ behaviour causes Constance to attempt to leave his employ, the Earl finds himself unable to let her go… Will Constance and Perry allow the passion that flares between them to override good sense? Can they find love, despite the difference in their social status? Or will the meddling of both the daughters, and Perry’s mother, tear them apart?

Her Passionate Duke:

Her Passionate Duke: A Lady with limited prospects, and an unwanted suitor, a Duke with secret responsibilities, and a passion for protecting the poor, an enemy who plots to kill, an act of unexpected heroism, love found amidst the chaos. Lady Linnet Quinton has few prospects for a good marriage - but she most definitely does not want to marry the man her mother is pushing her towards! When she meets the Duke of Grantsham, she finds herself helplessly coming to care for him, inspired by his passion for helping the poor. But... there are some puzzling things about him, things which make her wonder if what he shows to the world is all of the truth. Jeremy Starret, the Duke of Grantsham, has a passion for helping those threatened, especially children. With his mother, he sponsors an orphanage - and struggles to get the aristocracy to donate to that cause. But, whilst what the world sees is a rakehell with an odd penchant for charity, the truth of him is far more complex, and not something he is at liberty to reveal to Lady Linnet, no matter how much she is coming to fascinate him. When Lady Linnet’s closest friend is taken in by a man whom neither Linnet nor the Duke trusts, will they discover the truth of him, before it is too late? Will Lady Linnet find the courage that she has always lacked, when it is most needed? Can the Duke protect her, and still do the duty that he is bound to? Will love triumph? Or will death and betrayal steal all hope of love for Lady Linnet, the Duke, and their friends?

Her Absent Duke:

Her Absent Duke: Lord Marcus Northam was betrothed to Lady Kathryn Harrington when he was four, and she just born. Always in each other’s company, they grew up, certain of the happiness of their fate together – until he was sent off to school, and a series of misfortunes led to a pivotal moment. On the day that should have been the happiest of his life, Marcus is forced to make an impossible choice – and the consequences of that choice will shatter both of their lives. Lady Kathryn Harrington has always loved Lord Marcus, and held no doubt that he would marry her, even in the lonely years after her parents’ deaths, whilst he was away at school. Her faith in him remains intact, until, on what should have been the happiest day of their lives, he disappears, abandoning her. Two years later, when Marcus returns to England, everything has changed – he is now the Duke of Weatherly, and Kate has sworn never to forgive him for what he did. But despite everything, they are drawn to each other, unable to deny the love which has always been between them. Can Marcus tell Kate the truth of his disappearance, even though it may betray her in another, most likely unforgivable, way? Will Kate forgive Marcus? Or will the chain of past betrayals destroy their hope of a life together?

Her Determined Duke:

Her Determined Duke: Lady Elizabeth Chartwell has avoided London since her first Season, which ended with the loss of the man she thought the love of her life, and her belief that no man could ever be trusted. But now, her sister has persuaded her to return to London, to be seen in society again. Elizabeth is intent upon enjoying herself, whilst avoiding her sister’s matchmaking attempts, and then retiring to the country again. An excellent plan - which seems far less achievable from the moment that the Duke of Blackstone saves her nephew’s life. Gavin Villiers, the Duke of Blackstone, spent his time at university behaving as a rake, well loved within society, and rather irresponsible in all areas of his life - until his father’s death brought him the title, and a moment of painful self-awareness. The decisions he made then have made him a far better man, but at a high price. Those decisions forced him to walk away from the woman he loved. Now back in London after a year of mourning, and two more of travelling, the last thing he expected was to come face to face with her – and to find that the spark between them is as strong as ever. When a stolen kiss changes everything, he is forced to act, but the consequences are far reaching, and, with the unexpected appearance of someone from his past, he finds himself on the verge of losing everything he has worked for, everything he cares about, again. Can Elizabeth learn to trust again, and seize the love she’d thought irretrievably lost? Can Gavin overcome old habits, and prove himself worthy of love? Or will the mistakes of the past drive them apart forever?

The Duke's Christmas Vow:

The Duke's Christmas Vow: Lady Charity Pemberton is prone to being blunt, and does not fit in all that well with society – she would rather ride or walk across the countryside, and indulge her habit of collecting feathers. When she finds herself invited to a Christmas house party, at which it is rumoured the Duke of Oakmoor will choose a bride, she is quite certain that he would never consider her. Her mother holds out greater hope – for their family finances are fragile, and Charity needs to marry well. Rafe Livingstone, the Duke of Oakmoor, made a vow to his mother a year ago, to choose a woman to marry by the following Christmas – a Christmas which is now but two weeks distant. Surrounded by the most recent batch of eligible young ladies who have been invited to his house party, his deadline for making a choice is looming. So far, none of the ladies inspire his interest. But, when out walking early one morning, he rounds the bend in the lane and collides with a lady he has not seen before, he is intrigued, despite himself. As Charity and Rafe discover more about each other, they are faced with the fact that someone, amongst the other young ladies, is plotting for her own advantage… and is quite willing to do whatever it takes to attract Rafe’s attentions, including discrediting her rivals. Can Charity overcome her own doubts, and act in time to prevent her reputation, or the Duke’s, being ruined? Will the Duke recognise, in time, that whilst Charity is nothing like the woman he expected to marry, she is everything that he wants? Will a trail of feathers bring them together, or be the leverage which forces them apart, forever?

She never expects to see the man again.
