"MISS PRESTWICK'S CRUSADE" by Anne Barbour ISBN: 9780709083467 ROBERT HALE LTD.
 |
Miss Helen Prestwick has completed her arduous journey from Portugal to England determined to ensure the future of her nephew, the twelfth Earl of Camberwell. Unfortunately, she has no evidence that the child is the son of Christopher Beresford who died in battle—and knows her claim will enrage Christopher's cousin Edward, who currently wields the title.
Edward Beresford never wanted the earldom to be bestowed upon him, nor the familial and financial responsibilities that came with the title after his cousin's death. But he's not going to surrender the title without verifying the legitimacy of Helen's claim. Although Christopher's mother and sisters are pleased as punch at the possibility of a new heir, Edward finds himself enchanted with the child's lovely guardian, whose mission to usurp his title has also ensnared his heart.
"THE DREADFUL DUKE" by Barbara Hazard ISBN: 9780709084617 ROBERT HALE LTD.

There seemed no reason why Lady Juliet Manchester should not be wed. She was beautiful, well born, witty, charming and intelligent. But this Juliet allowed no male to play Romeo to her. For reasons that she kept very much to herself, she vowed that no man would ever have her as a woman or as a wife.
The Duke of Severn was a gentleman who had known neither denial nor defeat. His slightest wishes were others' commands and society's most ravishing belles were his for the asking. It was unthinkable that Juliet could long resist his advances or refuse his proposal.
But when this iron-willed lord attempted to storm the defences of this unyielding lady, the unthinkable did happen.
