Regency High-Society Affairs Vol 4: Two novels [A] Lord Calthorpe's Promise by Sylvia Andrew "Lord Adam Calthorpe had been rash in his promise to look out for a fellow soldier's sister before the soldier was killed at the battle of Waterloo. For Miss Katherine Payne was a golden-eyed shrew who took genuine delight in flouting Adam's authority at every turn.Surely bringing her to stay with his mother for the Season would absolve him of his responsibilities -- though he sincerely doubted such a headstrong young woman would ever find herself a husband in the marriage mart. But when an unscrupulous man starts pursuing Katherine, Adam comes to realize that fulfilling his promise might actually involve marrying her himself" [B] The Society Catch by Louise Allen "Miss Joanna Fulgrave has turned herself into the perfect society catch to be worthy of dashing Colonel Giles Gregory. But all her hard effort to improve herself comes to nothing when it looks as if Giles is about to propose -- to someone else! Deciding that bad behavior is infinitely more attractive than perfection, Joanna flees her shocked family. Giles is hot on her trail, determined to catch her and bring her safely home. But will he be as determined to make her his bride? Book

Then her drunken spendthrift brother Thomas saw the fat inheritance he had been expecting going to some adopted 'French brat', and he began to lay some rather unpleasant plans. Particularly when the 'child' turned out to be Serge, Vicomte de Valmont, a handsome, arrogant, six-foot tall young aristocrat.... Book

She was even less prepared to have her identity as the author revealed, and to be branded as a shocking adventuress. And when the man she loved accused her of using him as the model for her novel's villain, Octavia thought life could hold nothing worse than his cruel accusations. But that was before she realized that the sophisticated drawing-rooms she had so accurately captured in fiction concealed a smooth-tongued traitor. For England was at war with France, and Octavia had unwittingly revealed more than the foibles of the aristocracy--she had exposed the treachery of a spy.... Book
