Coming Soon

When Lieutenant Hartley returns home, it’s to become—reluctantly, he might add—the new Duke of Fenniston. If he’s to thrive in the ton, he must call on the help of widow Claire Hambledon, sister of the previous duchess, to guide him into society and help him find a wife!

Penniless and with a young son, Claire is well aware that she’s totally unsuitable for a duke. But she’s also completely unable to ignore the ripples of desire every time she’s near dashing Hart… Or the temptation to start a forbidden affair!

SOLDIERS TO HEIRS

Three soldiers who band together after saving each other’s lives during the storming of Badajoz expect to live quiet lives back in England if they survive the war. Instead, each finds himself unexpectedly heir to a title, with the duties, responsibilities—and problems that entails.

Book Two: THE NEW EARL’S CONVENIENT WIFE

When his older brother’s cold turned into a fatal inflammation of the lungs, Lieutenant Rafe Tynesley of the 16th Queens Light Dragoons found himself summoned home as the next Earl of Thornwaite. Reluctantly leaving the army with the war not yet won, he finds the estate in a shambles, his ill brother having apparently neglected even essential tasks for months. One dangling loose end is the status of his late brother’s long-time fiancé, whom Rafe has known since childhood. He also knows that having waited for years to wed his brother, Juliana’s now rather advanced age and small dowry render her prospects of making another match very slim. Not a believer in love, and not wanting Juliana to end up a governess or companion, Rafe thinks a marriage of convenience between two old friends will be a good solution for them both.

Julia Waverton realizes her best chance for a decent future away from her disdainful family would be to marry Rafe—but does she dare? When her childhood best friend broke her heart by falling passionately in love with another lady, she buried her own passion and vowed to see him once again as her good friend, a pledge she was sure she could fulfill as his brother’s wife. But when Ian’s death gives her the chance to wed this man who values her only as a friend… Will accepting Rafe’s offer lead to fulfillment—or disaster?

Book Three: THE MARQUESS’S FORBIDDEN BRIDE

An orphan brought up by a gentleman’s family, Lieutenant Charles Marsden of Dunbar’s Dragoons returns to England after Waterloo, uncertain what he will do next. While visiting army friends, he meets Emma Wellingford, with whom he begins an agreeable flirtation. His world is upended when he is sought out by an aunt he didn’t know he had and learns that her sister was his real mother, who secretly wed the son of the family for whom she served as governess. Armed with documents that prove Charles is now Marquess of Richland, his triumphant aunt encourages him to reconcile with his new family and find a suitable bride.

A bride who can’t be Emma Wellingford, for the family that struggles to accept him as heir despises the Wellingfords. Not wanting to make the situation more difficult for Charles, Emma vows to keep her distance, but their at-first-accidental encounters lead them both to want a deeper relationship. But can Charles ever repay his aunt’s striving on his behalf if he alienates his new family by secretly courting the daughter of their enemy?
