That should be the end of it, except for a certain visit to Vauxhall Gardens and the complications that aroused there. Book

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!

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
