Romantic suspense set in Portigal during the Peninsula WarsTo Juana Brett the summons from her grandmother in Portugal appeared to be only an invitation to revisit the beloved scenes of her childhood. She did not know that the familiar castle on the lonely cliffs of Cabo Roca had become the secret meeting place of spies and terrorists. Nor that she herself was to be caught up in a fantastic web of intrigue that had wound itself around her family. From the moment Juana learned about the winding stair that led to the hidden rooms beneath the castle, she became part of the nightmare conspiracy that threatened everyone she loved. Book
With Mama dashing scandalously about Bath playing the young flirt to avenge Papa's improprieties, Tess Marchant realized that neither she nor her younger sister stood a chance of any sort of entrée into polite society, much less of finding a husband. Though woefully ignorant of the ways of the world, Tess decided that a few secret trysts of her own would spur rumors of indiscretion and give Mama a taste of her own medicine. Lord Revel, a notorious rake in his own right, was only too happy to play the part of ardent paramour. Tess was by no means an antidote. She was, in fact, so charming that a harmless flirtation might be difficult to maintain.... Book

anuary 1813 - the British army is preparing to cross the Pyrenees and advance against Napoleon's army. Only one thing stands in the way- funds. It will take two people masquerading as lovers to carry out a dangerous plan . . . 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
Lucinda Neville had hit upon a famous idea. By proposing marriage to her childhood friend and country neighbour, she would save him from the sponging house and he would save her from the Marriage Mart. But before the betrothal could be made official, Lucinda agreed to endure one Season in Town, though she was certain it would not make one whit of difference. She had not reckoned on the fatal charms of Beau Devereux or the unexpected flurry of Cupid's arrows that left more than just one lovesick couple in their wake. Book

AN IMPORTANT COLLECTION, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, OF 19TH-CENTURY DEPICTIONS OF PYRENEAN SCENERY, executed in lithography (often hand-colored), aquatint, and engraving. ***(1) An unusually fine set of Melling's large folio "Voyage pittoresque dans les Pyrenees francais" (1826-1830), complete with 72 delicate aquatints, a map, a lithographed portrait of the artist, and the text by Cervini. Attractively bound and with clean, unfoxed plates (most unusual for this book). ***(2) TWO fine sets of Victor Petit's folio "Souvenirs des Pyrenees", with about 50 lithographs per set. The first set is beautifully hand-colored on fine wove paper; the second set uncolored on chine. As usual with these albums, the sets offer interesting bibliographical differences. ***(3) Two beautiful sets (30 lithographs per set) of Petit's folio "Bagneres de Luchon et ses environs", one colored and one uncolored on chine. ***(4) Two excellent (and different) complete sets of Ciceri's "Les Pyrenees dessinees d'apres nature", both very fresh, in their original bindings. ***(5) Two copies (one colored, one uncolored) of "Alpes et Pyrenees" (1842), both in publisher's cloth. ***(6) Several additional albums by Gorse (two, one with rectangular lithographs and one with oval), Allom, and others, including a few miniature albums. Many of these items are quite rare, and all are in very good condition. Several hundred prints in all. An outstanding collection. (I may consider selling one or more items separately. Please enquire.)

In-8, broché, couverture de papier marbré moderne, (2), vj, 298 p., qqs rouss. Edition originale. Biographie scandaleuse de l'âme damnée du régent, présentée comme provenant d'un manuscrit laissé par le secrétaire de Dubois. On attribuait au cardinal Dubois l'essentiel de son ascendant sur le Régent à sa capacité à lui trouver des maîtresses à son goût, d'où l'aphorisme rapporté par Roger Peyrefitte à propos de son élévation au cardinalat : "le pape est un fin cuisinier qui sait faire d'un maquereau un rouget". "Ouvrage spirituel, très curieux et peu commun" (Gay, III, 1351). Exemplaire enrichi d'un portrait gravé en frontispice.
