In need of a wife …

Christian Villiers, the Marquess of St. Cyr, despises the role he's been  cast into as fortune hunter but requires the funds to keep his  marquisate solvent. Yet, the sins of his past cloud his future,  preventing him from seeing beyond his fateful actions at the Battle of  Toulouse. For he knows inevitably it will catch up with him, and  everyone will remember his actions on the battlefield that cost so many  so much-particularly his best friend.

In want of a husband …

Lady Prudence Tidemore's life is plagued by familial scandals, which  makes her own marital prospects rather grim. Surely there is one  gentleman of the ton who can look past her family and see just her and  all she has to offer?

When Prudence runs into Christian on a London street, the charming,  roguish gentleman immediately captures her attention. But then a chance  meeting becomes a waltz, and now …

A Perfect Match …

All she must do is convince Christian to forget the cold requirements he  has for his future marchioness. But the demons in his past prevent him  from turning himself over to love. One thing is certain-Prudence wants  the marquess and is determined to have him in her life, now and forever.  It's just a matter of convincing Christian he wants the same.



"Seduced By a Lady's Heart"



Book 1 in the "Lords of Honor" Series

You met Lieutenant Lucien Jones in "Forever Betrothed, Never the Bride"  when he was a broken soldier returned from fighting Boney's forces. This  is his story of triumph and happily-ever-after!

Lieutenant Lucien Jones, son of a viscount, returned from war, to find  his wife and child dead. Blaming his father for the commission that sent  him off to fight Boney's forces, he was content to languish at London  Hospital …  until offered employment on the Marquess of Drake's staff.  Through his position, Lucien found purpose in life and is content to  keep his past buried.

Lady Eloise Yardley has loved Lucien since they were children. Having  long ago given up on the dream of him, she married another. Years later,  she is a young, lonely widow who does not fit in with the ton. When  Lucien's family enlists her aid to reunite father and son, she leaps at  the opportunity to not only aid her former friend, but to also escape  London.

Lucien doesn't know what scheme Eloise has concocted, but knowing her as  he does, when she pays a visit to his employer, he knows she's up to  something. The last thing he wants is the temptation that this new,  older, mature Eloise presents; a tantalizing reminder of happier times  and peace.

Yet Eloise is determined to win Lucien's love once and for all … if only  Lucien can set aside the pain of his past and risk all on a lady's  heart.
