Earl, Enemy, Husband? - Ann Lethbridge

Joined forever... in holy acrimony!

Graydon Ingram, the Earl of Blackdown, may be the most handsome man Miss Florence Dearing has ever seen — but he’s also the most aggravating! As if his horse muddying her one good gown wasn’t enough, now the arrogant aristocrat is embroiled in a bitter land dispute with her father. Worse, he may well be in the right...

To break the stalemate, Florence accepts the Earl’s scandalous proposition: a convenient marriage! Thrust from village obscurity to the ton’s gilded sphere, she discovers life as a countess has its own perils...chief among them? A husband whose every gaze heats her blood to boiling point!

The Marquess’s Forbidden Bride - Julia Justiss

Secret courtship... with the enemy!

Lieutenant Charles Marsden returns from war and inherits the title of Marquess from a father he never knew! Unsettled by his new status, he’s more grateful than ever for the guidance of well-connected debutante Miss Emma Wellingford, even if their families are enemies...

Craving independence over marriage, Emma agreed to a pact with Charles — fend off each other’s unwanted suitors. But Emma struggles as the arrangement brings them closer than is proper, for Charles is now the kind of titled gentleman she swore never to marry. Forced to hide their courtship from their feuding families, their bond feels even more forbidden...

About the Author

Ann Lethbridge majored in history and business. She always loved the glamorous, if rather risky, Georgians and in particular the Regency era as drawn by Georgette Heyer. It was that love that prompted her to write her first Regency novel in 2000. She found she enjoyed it so much she just couldn’t stop! Ann gave up a career in university administration to focus on her first love, writing novels and lives in Canada with her family. Visit her website at: www.annlethbridge.com
