Book Description
The first four books in the Bridgethorpe Brides sweet Regency romance series. His Impassioned Proposal (novella) Stephen Lumley returns from battle wounded and jaded, only to find his home life had been changed forever. Drowning his sorrows in liquor, he mistakenly blurts out his impassioned proposal to his sweetheart, Jane. Lady Jane Marwick fears she has wasted her love on the wrong man, and allows her mother to convince her to plan another London Season to find a husband. The only certainty in Stephen’s life is his need for Jane’s love. Now Stephen only has a few months to convince himself and Jane he is worthy of her, before she’s off to London to find a man who is. The Incorrigible Mr. Lumley (novel) David’s plan for revenge didn’t involve courtship or heartbreak. Stubborn. Hard-headed. Single-minded. The qualities that make David Lumley a successful horse breeder are put to work befriending Lady Joanna Hurst with less than noble intentions. He’s tenacious in his pursuit of the answers he seeks. Lady Joanna falls fast and hard for the handsome, witty and charming Mr. Lumley after her brother’s ultimatum to find a husband by the end of the Season. He is everything she imagined a husband could be, and more. Blissfully unaware of the conflict between their fathers, she believes he’ll declare his love soon. Then she overhears a conversation between Mr. Lumley and her brother, and all of Mr. Lumley’s tenacity will be needed if he’s to win back her heart. Charming the Vicar’s Daughter (novella) What’s a gentleman to do when the local Widows’ League insists on a marriage over a simple misunderstanding? How does he honor his family name without damaging that of a vicar’s daughter? For Neil Harrow, the journey to obtain a matched pair of horses for his new curricle has taken a wrong turn. While his uncle is not insisting Neil marry Rebecca Cookson, in his heart he knows it’s the thing to do. Rebecca wants nothing to do with the popinjay who came to her aid, no matter how the situation appeared. The meddling old widows are a formidable opponent, but Rebecca will do everything in her power to avoid such an ill-suited match. As charming Mr. Harrow might be, Rebecca is determined to only marry a man she can love with all her heart. Her Impetuous Rakehell (novella) Laurence Pierce never wanted a wife or children. He preferred his freedom and his bachelor’s rooms in London. Then his cousin, Lord Oakhurst, dies, making Laurence guardian of a four-year-old girl. He knows nothing about children, and even less about girls. In desperation, he turns to the only lady friend he’s never seduced and begs for help. Lady Hannah Lumley know Laurence for exactly what he is, since he’s been her brother’s closest friend for as long as she can remember. He’s the last man she could imagine as a father, and the very last man her brother would consider letting her marry. Yet one little kiss leaves her unable to think of anything but this impetuous rakehell. Now her Season has taken a twist she never expected, and she’s forced to marry Oakhurst instead of the man she expected to propose. Laurence hates himself for letting his jealousy overrule his common sense, but Hannah hates him even more. He can give her the family she’s dreamed of, if only she can learn to trust him. Maybe one day she’ll find it possible to love him, too, as he’s beginning to love her.

Book Description
A collection of the three books in the Once Upon a Duke series. THE DUKE WHO LOVED HER: When the Duke of Hartshorne returns to London to assume his title, he barely hopes his heart’s desire still waits for him. But she’s engaged to another man, so he fights to forget her and get on with his life. Having given up hope that Hart still loved her, Lady Marjorie Gideon agrees to marry someone else. Then he fails to show up for their wedding. She fears something bad has befallen him and asks the only man she trusts to find him. The favor she asks of him will require every ounce of his honor to take on, and no one believes him to be an honorable man. Except Marjorie. For her, he would do anything—even if it means she marries another man. THE DUKE'S SCANDALOUS KISSES: When William Foster, 8th Duke of Everleigh, sees his friend, Mrs. Julia Tilney, napping in an alcove, he can’t stop himself from stealing a kiss. He’s shocked, and more than a bit intrigued, when the young lady turns out to be her aunt, Lady Lorna Chatburn. Having witnessed what the loss of a spouse does to those left behind, Lorna has sworn to never marry, never even fall in love. Ignoring the excitement stirred by the duke’s stolen kisses each time she sees him, she tells herself she’s not falling for him. But then she does. And she still tells him she can never be his wife. Can Everleigh show her how life as his duchess is the only life for her? HER SECONDHAND DUKE: For the past year, Lady Charlotte has waited patiently for her turn at possessing the magical pendant given to her friends when they were young. A gypsy girl swore the necklace would lead the wearer to the heart of a duke, which only made sense since Lady Eleanor was betrothed to the Duke of Langley at the time. Now Charlotte’s three friends and her sister are all married or betrothed, and not one of them has landed the most eligible, and quite unbearably handsome, Langley. Does Charlotte stand a chance? Langley had thought his fate was settled: he was to marry the young lady his father had chosen. Then she fell for another, and since then, every marriageable miss he set his sights on has done the same. His mother wants him to marry and get on with providing an heir, but he has lost interest in the entire matter. The final young ladies on his mother’s list have come to stay at Hawking Hall, and the meek and mousy Lady Charlotte seems perfect, until she comes right out to say she has no desire to marry him. Never a man to back down from a challenge, Langley is intrigued. What would it take to change her mind?
