Book Description
From award-winning author Lindsay Randall comes two sweet Regency heiresses — one with a secret to keep and one who is on a mission to save a friend. Includes: MISS MEREDITH’S MARRIAGE According to her father’s will, heiress Meredith Darlington must find a bridegroom before her next birthday — just two weeks away — or marry the man her eccentric godmama chooses. Panicked, Meredith proposes to Lane Markham Graystone, the third Earl of Graystone, a man she barely knows but who once pierced her heart when she was a young girl on holiday. Unbeknownst to Meredith, Laney isn’t Laney, but his ne’er-do-well twin, Larkin. Estranged from his family at a young age and forever involved in perilous escapades, Larkin is being stalked by a treacherous enemy. As danger and intrigue draw the pair together, Meredith discovers that she’s falling for her bridegroom impostor — and ultimately fears she’s nothing more than a pawn in another of his deadly games. THE HEIRESS AND THE HIGHWAYMAN Miss Lydia Lacey is on a mission to help a friend, but her carriage is waylaid by boys playing at highwaymen. When the true thief arrives—bold, commanding, and sinfully handsome—he takes a wounded Lydia to his hideout where he tends to her injury … and stirs her curiosity. Ignatius “Nash” Westcott, Viscount Vailton, knows the lovely and adventurous Lydia believes him to be nothing more than a lowly thief. He’d like the chance to prove her wrong. When Lydia daringly asks Nash to help rescue her friend from an unscrupulous band of men, he agrees. But aiding Lydia will mean resurrecting his lawless past—and putting his future at risk. Sparks ignite between them and danger escalates as they head into the rough neighborhoods near the London Dock. Lydia soon realizes Nash is stealing her heart. But is a future even possible with the dashing thief who claims to be heir to an earldom?

Dictionary of the British English Spelling System
Author: Greg Brooks
Publisher: Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 1783741074
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It's a reference work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training. English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa. It enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme-phoneme correspondences keep company. Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters ) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables.
