Though Serafina D'Arblay agreed to accompany Miss Imogen Geddes to London for her comeout, she herself preferred books to husband hunting.

His proposal was madness! Announce their betrothal to smoke out the real thief? Surely this charade was just a lark to the devilish Trenton who, Serafina was convinced, had lost his heart to Imogen. The difficulty was, she yearned for their imaginary romance to be real. Book
(Zebra Regency Romance) Celestine Simons was past the age where a woman could hope to marry. Still, she counted herself blessed, for she held a good position as governess in the household of the Marquess of Ladymead. But when the Marquess's brother, the handsome Lord Justin St. Claire arrived for the Christmas season, Celestine's lonely heart caught fire. He was so sweet and understanding. Yet, a marriage proposal from a pleasure-seeking aristocrat had to be merely a cruel joke if not pity for a poor spinster. Love was a game for the devil-may-care Lord Justin St. Claire -- until he met Miss Celestine Simons. Justin never thought he could be felled by cheerful good sense and intelligent conversation. He'd set out to give the plain, timid miss an innocent thrill under the kissing bough -- becoming smitten with the gray-eyed beauty was the least of his intentions. But the more he denied his aching heart, the more he yearned to make Celestine his! Book

A gentleman from the top his handsome head to the tip of his polished boots, Lord Jonathan Longe always managed to be nearby when Patricia needed rescuing- be it from a fallen horse or an odious dance partner. Then she heard the horrible truth. Her handy hero was Lord Longshanks- the coward whose long legs carried him away from the battlefield while others--like her brother-were gravely wounded. How confounding it was that such a vile soul would continue to prove himself so kindhearted and heroic. Worse, how long could she loathe a man for whom she was falling quite hopelessly in love? Book

Lord Dearborn had been assured by a fortune-teller that his destiny lay with a tall, beautiful blonde. And he'd found her. Rosalind Winston-Fitts was everything he'd dreamed of. Perhaps her conversation was somewhat lacking, but her obvious charms were not to be denied. So why was it her small, dark cousin, Elinor O'Day, whose company he sought? Ellie was lively and intelligent, it was true, but definitely not to his taste. It would be far better for her to go to her grandfather in Ireland than to remain in his household after he and Miss Winston-Fitts were wed. Otherwise, he might be tempted to cast his fate to the winds! Book
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

L'évêque de Reims, bien connu pour sa fougue antijanséniste, s'adresse non seulement à ses pairs mais aussi aux cardinaux pour leur rappeler toute l'intransigeance qu'il faut maintenir contre les Novateurs (jansénistes). Ce combat lui vaudra de rejoindre lui-même le cardinalat.
(The School for Heiresses) When Madeline Prescott took a teaching position at Mrs. Harris's School for Young Ladies, it was to help restore her father's reputation. Instead, she's in danger of ruining her own. The devilishly handsome Anthony Dalton, Viscount Norcourt, has agreed to provide "rake lessons" to Mrs. Harris's pupils so they can learn how to avoid unscrupulous gentlemen, and Madeline is to oversee his classes. She has always believed that attraction is a scientific matter, easily classified and controlled -- until she's swept into the passionate desire that fiercely burns between her and Anthony. Nothing could be more illogical than risking everything for a dalliance with a rake -- even one who's trying to behave himself. Yet nothing could be more tempting.... Book
