Penniless Until The Earl’s Proposal - Helen Dickson

From feuding neighbours... to a union at the altar?

Having lost her fiancé to war, Lady Juliet Sinclair refuses to lose her home to her brother’s gambling debts. She certainly wouldn’t otherwise be contemplating a marriage offer from her arrogant — yet infuriatingly attractive — neighbour, the Earl of Ashleigh...

If widower Marcus didn’t need a mother for his beloved daughter, he wouldn’t be proposing to outspoken Juliet either. They cross swords whenever they meet, but his daughter immediately takes to her. Yet Marcus is discovering his new bride intrigues him in ways he hadn’t expected, making their battle of wills even more thrilling!

The Truth Behind The Governess - Carol Arens

A demure governess... or a rebellious lady?

Lady Vivienne is destined for marriage to a marquess — a match that is for anything but love! Before their engagement is announced, she vows to have one last adventure, and masquerading as a governess for the summer is just what she seeks...

Clement Marston has no time for love, dedicated to raising his late sister’s children. But as summer approaches, he must find help to care for the girls. The captivating and intriguing Vivienne seems like the perfect fit but, as they grow closer, he can’t help but wonder if this governess is hiding a secret...
