Victoria cannot believe her father would send her to the middle of nowhere, and just when the the Season was in full swing! And with Nathan Oliver, no less!

Three Regency romances in a single volume [1] Cecily " When Cecily appeared on the stage, the questions started. Who was she; could she be an innocent; was she an adventuress? No one asked these questions with more concern than the Honorable Robert Ranleigh, the handsome, aristocratic leader of London male society. For Cecily actually claimed to be his distant relative, and begged him to come to her aid." [2] Georgina "After shutting the door in the face of her latest and most eligible suitor 'Miss Georgina Powers announced that spinsterhood was preferable to a life with a dimwit twice her age. Her very displeased grandmother, Lady Mercer, ships her off to distant relations in the wilds of Ireland, where sheer boredom would force her to reflect on her folly. To the surprise of both Georgina and her disapproving grandmama, the Emerald Isle yielded the roguish Mr. Shannon, a handsome Irishman with a most scandalous past. Georgina is sure to set the ton on its ear with her choice of a groom... but for all the wrong reasons! "[3] Lydia: '"On his arrival at one of his recently inherited estates, the Fourth Viscount Northover is surprised to learn that a family from Louisiana have made themselves at home there. In his library he meets Miss Lydia Leyland, who engagingly confides that she has come to England to secure a rich husband.

Miss Eugenia Liddiard was utterly charmed with her solution to the marriage muddle. Since she must find a husband in her first season (to wait longer would be to disoblige her guardians), she made the practical choice of Tom, her childhood country playmate and her best friend's brother. She and Tom would suit famously and live amicably ever after... But on her way to proposing to the unsuspecting intended, Eugenia was waylaid by the predicament of one Richard Liddiard, a newly discovered and darkly handsome cousin. Richard was earnestly sought by the Bow Street Runners for murder--a case of mistaken identity the enterprising Eugenia could not resist trying to put right. Soon she was one step ahead of the law--and one perilous step behind the real culprit. Bt the true danger lay in the bold, smoldering gazes the captivating Richard! Book
