19107632Plon-Nourrit et Cie 1910 387 pages in8. 1910. broché. 387 pages. Cette biographie du Général de Piépape retrace la vie d'Anne Louise Bénédicte de Bourbon-Condé duchesse du Maine (1676-1753) petite-fille du Grand Condé et épouse du fils légitimé de Louis XIV. L'ouvrage la dépeint comme une figure centrale des intrigues de la cour notamment lors de la Régence de Philippe d'Orléans où son opposition au régent et son implication dans des conspirations lui valurent d'être qualifiée de 'démon femelle' par ses contemporains. C'est le portrait d'une personnalité hors du commun à la fois 'reine de Sceaux' (en référence à son château) et conspiratrice active dans un épisode trouble de l'histoire française

With her father's death, Georgiana Hartley found herself at the mercy of her lecherous cousin. Yet seeking refuge at the neighboring estate, she came across a danger of another sort altogether as she stared into the amused blue eyes of Dominic Ridgeley, Viscount Alton of Candlewick Hall. Charmed by Georgiana's youthful innocence, Dominic was only too happy to come to her aid. But the simple infatuation had become something infinitely more complicated, and the two of them could no longer deny their passion or their highly improper affections. Book

(Signet Regency Romance)There was a time when Helen St. James had everything she could ever want. But when her parents died, a scheming uncle seized his chance and kidnapped his niece--stealing her family's country estate. Kept under lock and key for a year, Helen came dangerously close to a forced marriage. But she fled the altar on foot--and ran until she could run no more. Now, with nothing but a torn gown and her reticule, Helen is at the mercy of London's streets--and if some noble family does not take her in by nightfall, her reputation will be forever ruined. Rafe Thomas has just sworn to marry the first girl he sees on the road. Any girl would make a better wife than Alice Hillcrest, whose father is blackmailing Rafe into marrying her. But when that first girl he sees is a breathtaking, bewildered temptress with thorns in her wild hair and despair in her limpid eyes, he wonders what he has gotten himself into. One thing is certain, however: Rafe is a man who keeps his word... Book
