The Reverend Henry Harding, parson to the excellent living of Stoke Abbas, was a handsome and prepossessing man. Unfortunately fate had seen fit to bless him with a family of extremely plain and unprepossessing children. Caroline was the least offensively plain according to Lady Lennox, but the entire Lennox family also admitted that Caroline was the most insignificant person in the county of Dorset. Caroline, already twenty-six, was bullied by her elder sister, was nervous in company, and had no prospects at all. She had one golden memory, of an admirer when she was eighteen, but John Gates, nephew to the Lennox family, had gone to India and forgotten her. Or so she thought. When Lady Lennox summoned her and said that Johnny Gates had sent a proposal of marriage, Caroline at first declined. She suspected that somehow Lady Lennox--for reasons of her own--had contrived and pressured her erswhile suitor into proposing. But within a few short weeks tragedy had overtaken Caroline. The little contentment and security she had known vanished from her life and left her no option but to accept Lady Lennox's offer. In October of 1776, Caroline Harding set sail for India, to a new life, and a man she had not seen for eight years Book

A gentleman from the top his handsome head to the tip of his polished boots, Lord Jonathan Longe always managed to be nearby when Patricia needed rescuing- be it from a fallen horse or an odious dance partner. Then she heard the horrible truth. Her handy hero was Lord Longshanks- the coward whose long legs carried him away from the battlefield while others--like her brother-were gravely wounded. How confounding it was that such a vile soul would continue to prove himself so kindhearted and heroic. Worse, how long could she loathe a man for whom she was falling quite hopelessly in love? Book

Regally beautiful, Lady Alexandra Wilton has refused to wed without love. She will not compromise--until her father dies and his shocking will reveals that Alexandra will lose everything unless she marries his heir. Much to everyone's surprise, the next earl is an upstart, a fiery Highlander just as outraged at the prospect of wedding a frosty Englishwoman as Alexandra is at the very idea of bedding him. But for this romantic lady, the unexpected is about to happen...an explosive meeting of two strong-willed forces that will change everything she believes about desire and her own heart. Book

Despite inheriting the traveling Cirque Equestre, France's proudest equestrian tradition , Gabrielle Rochon has no loyalty to the emperor who destroyed her family's way of life. Independent and headstrong, she pledges to help the British army, knowing her late father would have done the same. But her mission to smuggle gold across France within the cirque to the Duke of Wellington's headquarters in Spain is one the British won't let her do alone. Colonel Leo Branford - an arrogant, striking foreigner - is ordered to play the part of her husband so that he may escort the gold without arousing enemy suspicions. While Gabrielle is annoyed that she must publicly bow to his every whim, the danger of the mission binds them in a disturbingly intimate way. With French troops precariously close to uncovering their charade, it is imperative that neither of them forget their purpose . . . or themselves" Book
