NICOLA AND THE VISCOUNT 8/2002 ISBN: 0060005521 Nicola Sparks, sixteen and an orphan, is ready to dive headlong into her first London Season. A whirlwind of fashionable activities awaits her, although nabbing a husband, ordinarily the prime object of every girl's Season, is not among them. For Nicola has already chosen hers: a handsome viscount by the name of Lord Sebastian. Lord Sebastian Bartholomew is wealthy, attractive, and debonair, even if the few tantalizingly short moments Nicola has spent with him have produced little save discussions about poetry. Nicola is sure that a proposal from Lord Sebastian would be a match made in heaven. Everything is going well, until the infuriating Nathaniel Sheridan begins to cast doubt on the viscount's character. Nicola is convinced Nathaniel's efforts to besmirch Lord Sebastian's sterling reputation will yield nothing. But when she begins to piece things together for herself, the truth that is revealed has as much to do with the viscount as it does with Nicola's own heart.
VICTORIA AND THE ROGUE 3/2003 ISBN: 006000553X Growing up in far-off India, wealthy young heiress Lady Victoria Arbuthnot was accustomed to handling her own affairs -- not to mention everyone else's. But in her sixteenth year, Vicky is unceremoniously shipped off to London to find a husband. With her usual aplomb, however, Lady Victoria gets herself engaged to the perfect English gentleman, even before setting foot on British soil. Hugo Rothschild, ninth earl of Malfrey, is everything a girl could want in a future husband: he is handsome and worldly, if not rich. Lady Victoria has everything just as she'd like it. That is, if raffish young ship captain Jacob Carstairs would leave well enough alone. Jacob's meddling is nothing short of exasperating, and Victoria is mystified by his persistence. But when it becomes clear that young Lord Malfrey just might not be all that he's professed to be, Victoria is forced to admit, for the first time in her life, that she is wrong. Not only about her fiancé, but about the reason behind the handsome ship captain's interference.

Since there had never been a female his lordship couldn't charm, Edward was sure he would win over the old girl.

Still, the girl brought out the best in him, and the whole escapade seemed the start of a marvelous adventure.

Yet she hadn't expected to arrive on flotsam, be accosted by pirates, or have such an odd entourage. Indeed, the man who'd saved her was thrilled by their bad luck! "The Hand of Destiny" he called it. And looking into her eyes, the grinning Horatio made a promise: The current that swept them forward was irresistible, but he would see Anne to... The Wildest Shore

CHANGE OF HEART 1/1991 ISBN: 0821732781 For six years, Diana Farington Verney had buried herself in the country, far from the gossip surrounding her ill-fated marriage and late husbands demise. Indeed, London was the last place a lonely widow wanted to be, but she'd been summoned to oversee her sister's debut and vowed to hold her head high and do her duty, coolly avoiding the knowing looks on the all-too-familiar faces among the town. The bold behavior of the dangerously handsome Lord Lucan, however, was too much to bear. Diana knew that the only proposal a woman in her position could hope for was an improper one, and she was not about to let a rake such as Lucan turn her head-or change her mind about love. The Earl of Lucan was no romantic, especially when it came to choosing his wife, but even he knew that second chances were rare gifts of fate-and so when he saw the golden-haired Diana again, he swore to win her over this time around. Six years had passed since she'd caught his eye during her first London season, and she'd blossomed most beautifully from fresh faced girl to desirable woman. Sadly, she had lost her endearing innocence along the way and now looked at all men-including himself-with a jaundiced eye, Lucan knew he was no saint, but somehow he would convince Diana that she was capable of passion-even if he had to compel her with his kisses!
AN IMPETUOUS BRIDE 9/1991 ISBN: 0821735187 Miss Stacia Ashcroft was gleeful when she arrived in London with a brand new inheritance. At twenty-two, she felt much too old for the marriage mart, so she took on the guise of a rich widow - a pose that would surely allow her buckets of freedom! She never guessed her freedom would be lost on an impetuous roll of the gaming hell dice and her hand in marriage forfeit to a notorious rake! It was easy to see why the handsome, raven-haired Derek Deveaux could have his way with any London Lady, but Stacia would never trust the arrogant rogue with her affections...and though she was tricked into awarding him her hand - and control of her funds - she'd never volunteer her love! Derek Deveaux had hardened his true emotions long ago and he meant to keep them that way. Females were mere diversions to him - and never to be trusted. Leg-shackling himself to Stacia was simply a practical financial arrangement, for he could make good use of her inheritance...not to mention her alluring attributes. He'd certainly never admit the red-gold locks of his new wife fascinated him as much as her delightful wit. But the question was, could he entice his beautiful wife into his bed without allowing her into his well-guarded heart?

If only he weren't so very handsome Linnea was certain she could resist his rather amorous advances. However, she would simply have to make it clear to him that theirs would be a marriage in name only--at least until they became better acquainted. And then she would take great pleasure in reforming his rakish ways!

But never before had she been mistaken for a housemaid - and by her cousin's fiancé of all people? To make matters worse, the autocratic Marquis idea of making amends was to drag her willy-nilly into his arms and kiss her in a shockingly thorough manner. Amanda wasn't sure if she was angrier at Vale for his cavalier treatment of her, or at herself for the flash of desire he had caused within her...
