    A Poetical Lady and a Perplexed LordJuliet Bennington is the fifth and youngest daughter of the Earl of Westmont. The ton has been rather shaken over the past four seasons as each of her elder sisters made their debut. Society is bracing itself for one more go round with a Bennington lady, though Juliet herself is rather sanguine. After all, her requirement is so obvious-she is a poetess, and therefore must wed a poet. If her poet is poor and lives in a garret, that is no matter. She does not give a toss for worldly things.Rupert Doncaster, Marquess of Hamill, was up on his feet before he'd been in the world ten months and he's rarely sat down since. If there is a horse race, he is in it, he trains with Gentleman Jackson, he fences, he hunts, he sails, he swims, he even runs round the park at dawn for the sheer fun of it. He is the ultimate Corinthian, and he rarely slows down, though a glimpse of Juliet Bennington has stopped him in his tracks.If only he could understand half of what this charming lady says. What is a blazing orb?Juliet is powerfully drawn to the athletic marquess, but she regretfully admits they can have no future. She must be able to share grand ideas and a passionate devotion to language, she must be able to look at the sunrise with her beloved and they both at the same time cry, "Ah, blazing orb!"While it has been intriguing to observe Lord Hamill in all his physicality, they are not suited. On the other hand, Mr. Roundbat is not nearly as nice to look at, but he is a poet, even going so far as to write poems in the Japanese style. That is where her destiny lies.It really should have been that simple. Though, nobody had factored in a cabal of moneylenders, a mysterious herald, a sly boy emerging from the Rats' Castle, or a certain lady's heart overruling her head.A Very Fine MuddleRomance Me, ViscountBe Daring, DukeStand With Me, EarlSweep Me Up, BaronWrite for Me, MarquessConvince Me, Viscount

    A Sentimental Lady and a Scholarly Lord.Cordelia Bennington, fourth daughter of the Earl of Westmont, glides into her season with all confidence. After all, her requirement for the successful suitor could not be more straightforward. She requires a Corinthian-a fellow who is out sporting all the day long, a man whose tailor almost despairs of encasing his wondrous arms in fabric, a man who might use those wondrous arms to carry her round the house.If this great beast of a sporting man sees fit to sweep her up in his arms and carry her about at every opportunity, she will not argue against it.Percival Granger, Baron Harveston, is tall, lean, sophisticated, erudite, and exceedingly well read. He is a member of The Royal Society and the founder of The Society for Serious Literary Examination. He is all intellectual and not a jot of sport.Two people could not be less suited, but yet when they are separated they find they are pulled toward one another. Each of them realizes that something radical must be done.Cordelia determines to turn herself into an intellectual with her dear unintellectual aunt's assistance. Percival is dragged out of doors at all hours by his friend, a Corinthian attempting to remake him into some semblance of a sportsman.Each will transform themselves into what the other desires.While Shakespeare understood that the course of love never did run smooth, it is unlikely the bard was imagining twisted limbs, banged heads, and a house fire.A Very Fine MuddleRomance Me, ViscountBe Daring, DukeStand With Me, EarlSweep Me Up, BaronWrite for Me, MarquessConvince Me, Viscount

    Lady Viola Bennington, third daughter to the Earl of Westmont, has been thinking of a certain Lord Baderston all summer. She only briefly encountered him in the park last season before she was out, but he seems to have everything to recommend him.He is handsome, especially his copper-colored hair. He seems very genial and he has already told her sister Rosalind about his penchant for ham, which she adores herself. She's had an untold number of conversations in her mind regarding how their romance will unfold.All the lord need do is prove his abject loyalty, as that is a gentleman's most important quality. It is a quality she will insist on.Miss Mayton, the dear aunt who has raised all the earl's daughters, is rather buoyed by her charges' success in Town. The two eldest are married and, while the earl gives her all the credit for it, the truth is they are married despite her unhelpful help. Nevertheless, she is poised at the mark to offer that unhelpful help to Viola now.Roland Trewellian, Earl of Baderston, heard quite a lot about Lady Viola from her sister, Lady Rosalind, when they met last season. The facts he gathered were very interesting-she was fond of ham, a talented painter, and she valued loyalty. Most encouraging, it seems she actually prefers his hair color. Then, when he saw her in the park-she was marvelous! He's spent the summer eating more ham than he ever has in his life, fully prepared to report on his consumption when he sees her again.She is most pleased to hear it, but there is a bit of a sticking point-Lady Viola does not just require a speech about loyalty, she requires that it be proved.With everything going so well between them, how does a lord prove that his loyalty would remain unshaken in a crisis? As it happens, the Benningtons are particularly skilled at creating a crisis.When Lord Baderston finds himself on a green one very early morning, he ponders precisely how loyal he could be if he's no longer living.

    One Incautious Lady and One Incredulous LordLady Rosalind Bennington, second daughter to the Earl of Westmont, has put a great deal of confidence in the fates. She is certain they will deliver her a man of the utmost courageous spirit, as she considers herself unusually courageous. Quite naturally, that gentleman's courage and daring will be employed to prove his devotion by way of rescuing her from...something or other.Her dear aunt, Miss Eloise Mayton, is a helpful sort of lady. As such, she schemes with Rosalind to provide opportunities for a certain gentleman to demonstrate his valor and devotion. After all, there are no lengths she will not travel to see her girls happily settled and her judgment is entirely unreliable-a combination that results in very little being out of bounds.Balthazar Reardon, Duke of Conbatten, has no intention of marrying anytime soon. He is far too taken up with his service to the queen. As a member of the Queen's Knights, he is often striding into dangerous situations between the balls and parties of the season. So far, he's had no trouble eluding the various flutterings of eyelashes and winsome smiles from the ladies of the ton. Though, he is finding it more difficult when the interesting Lady Rosalind comes into his sphere.As one incredible circumstance after another befalls Lady Rosalind, it slowly dawns on him that she is the author of them all. He is in some way charmed by it, but her latest escapade has gone terribly wrong and might spell the end of the lady.Lady Rosalind requires courage from her gentleman, and the duke will need all the courage he's got to keep this impulsive lady in the land of the living.A Very Fine MuddleRomance Me, ViscountBe Daring, DukeStand With Me, EarlSweep Me Up, BaronWrite for Me, MarquessConvince Me, Viscount

    The Marquess'' Daring Wager is Book 2 in the best selling series The Dukes'' Pact.A Willful Lady and a Daring Lord.Lady Sybil Hayworth might be petite, but her looks are deceiving-she comes from iron-willed stock. Her family claims a winding descent from Margaret Beaufort and they are unwavering in defense of their honor. An insult is easily taken, it invariably leads to a feud, and a Hayworth feud will continue until all parties to it have expired.Richard Smythe, Marquess of Lockwood and heir to the Duke of Gravesley, has the misfortune of becoming one of those enemies. He knew of the plot against Cassandra Knightsbridge, and that is quite enough for Sybil.Throughout the season, Sybil had enjoyed finding herself led into dinner by the lord, but all that must now come to an end. She will travel to a house party in Yorkshire and she is determined to forget about the gentlemen of the dukes'' pact, especially Lord Lockwood.As her carriage leaves London and rumbles north, Sybil might be wise to remember that Lord Lockwood is a war hero and there is no risk he will not dare. Lord Lockwood, on the other hand, might be wise to understand that it will take more than pushing into Lord Hugh''s house party to win this particular battle.#2 in The Dukes'' Pact Series-six dukes take dire steps to force their heirs to marry, while those heirs fight just as hard to remain bachelors. A sweet regency romance.
