From the bestselling Regency romance author Fenna Edgewood comes an
enchanting and passionate story about a mismatched young lady and a stubborn
laird who surrender their hearts to one another despite their best
endeavors…

 

Beautiful and eligible, Briar Blakeley is the beloved youngest sister of a
duke. Eschewing the London marriage mart, she has no plans to wed anytime
soon… until she’s abducted alongside her family’s handsome Scottish
gardener and cast into a web of intrigue and secrets.

 

Swept Away to Scotland…

Wren Spencer returned from the wars with the French to find a bitter feud
has split him from his clan—and his birthright. Putting the rejection
behind him, he takes up a quiet life at Blakeley Manor tending shrubbery as
the gardner. Three years later, a group of loyal Highlanders are determined
to bring Wren home—whether he wishes to go or not. The other problem?
They’ve mistaken Briar for his wife and kidnapped her along with him.

 

Forced to Wed…

Now that Briar has been compromised and carried off to Scotland, she must
wed one of two men. The only question is who will she choose?

 When Wren proposes a marriage of convenience, he tells himself honor
drives him—not the ripe lips and bright spirit of the young woman who
has resurrected his heart with something he thought he would never feel
again. A rare and passionate love. But when dark deeds threaten his new
bride, the Scottish laird finds himself caught up in a dangerous game and
must risk his legacy and even his life to save the woman who has become most
precious to him.

 

An unforgettable journey to the Highlands, in a tale replete with romance,
mystery, and laughter.

In this Regency romance by USA Today bestselling and HOLT Medallion winning
author BREE WOLF, a bitter Scotsman and a French lass find themselves
running from a painful past and toward a shared future…if only they

Ian MacDrummond is no more. He died three years ago off the Scottish Coast.
In his stead, IAN STEWART now stands upon the deck of the Chevalier Noire, a
French privateer. Tasked with a most urgent mission, Ian comes to realize
that his past may not be as dead as he had thought—or
hoped!—when his path crosses that of a young woman.

NOELLE CLEMENT had been happy once. Happy and in love. Now, all is
lost—even her precious child. Unwilling to give up, Noelle accepts aid
from the Duret family, who place a rather taciturn Scotsman at her side.
Still, before long, Noelle comes to see that they have more in common than
she thought.

As they rush to unearth the whereabouts of Noelle’s daughter, an old
enemy closes in on them, threatening not only their tentative bond but also
those they hold dear. In the end, it all comes down to one question: how far
are we willing to go for those we love?

In this sizzling opposites-attract Regency romance by Charlie Lane, a lady
of passion and an earl of logic commit to a fake courtship as rakish as it
is daring.

 

Lady Edith knows the sting of unrequited love, and now she wants only one
thing—to marry a man who desires her or to never marry. But at the
Season’s end, her father threatens to provide a husband if she cannot
secure one herself. When a family friend saves her from the unwanted
advances of one of their suitors, she falls a little bit in love. With his
auburn hair and radical ideas about women, Griffin Paxton, the Earl of
Eastern, is perfect. Except he doesn’t want her back.

Griffin will not be distracted by Lady Edith’s diamond-eyed beauty.
He needs a wife to fulfill his dying father’s wish, and he needs her
to be a model of propriety to repair the family reputation his rakish father
sullied. When Lady Edith calls herself a rake, he knows she’ll never
do. He’ll have to guard his attraction to her fiery spirit and open
heart behind thick ice walls and look elsewhere.

But when Edith suggests they forge a fake engagement to appease both their
fathers, Griffin can’t refuse. She needs his help, and he never
ignores a damsel in distress. Will a fake courtship bring out their rakish
desires, or will it offer a home to two hurting hearts?

Jennifer Monroe spins a tantalizing tale of two very unlikely lovers in
this intriguing friends-to-lovers Regency romance between a young beauty and
a scarred beast of an earl, who is dead-set on vengeance.

To get his revenge, he needs a fiancée…

Nicholas, Lord Dowding, is a dangerous and reckless man. For more than five
years, revenge has been the earl’s only goal as he traveled England seeking
to ruin the lives of those who once wronged his family.

Earning himself the moniker “Earl of Deception” for his deadly,
scheming ways, Nicholas is close to putting the past to rest once and for
all. The only problem? He’ll need a woman by his side to do it.

To play the role of a lifetime, she’ll bargain her heart…

Her education could never have prepared the romantic dreamer Miss Jenny
Clifton,, for a man like Nicholas. When the earl arrives at the school to
call in a favor she never expected to have to repay, Jenny is quickly caught
up in a dangerous game where she must first pose as his
fiancée.

Nicholas is dashing but ruthless, and his heart is heavily scarred by his
past when he asks Jenny to pose as his fiancée. But she can’t help
being drawn to this man who blazes with passion wherever he goes.

The greatest deception of all…

She’s just a lovestruck silly schoolgirl who owes him a favor. Their
burgeoning friendship is a bonus, but what he requires of her is strictly
business. It’s a simple enough plan—in theory.

…Is between a man and his unruly heart.

But Nicholas finds Jenny is one entanglement he cannot easily escape. While
the girl is vexingly naive and innocent, she also burns with a beauty and
sensuality that makes his heart beat faster. Soon Nicholas finds himself
brought to his knees by a woman who holds a power even greater than that of
deception: love.

EXCERPT

CHAPTER ONE

Somerset, 1820

Numbed by the cold, by the final loss that now gave her freedom, and the guilt this awareness stirred in her breast, Olivia Poole stared at the head-stone before her. A frosty March drizzle dampened her black cloak. The smell of wet leaves and dirt teased her nose. Extending one hand, she traced the names adorning the uneven granite, the last one freshly carved. 

Jonathan Mathis Poole. 

A tear or two would be expected – a welcome relief even – but she had no more to shed. She’d spilled them all when death had reached out for her beloved sister, Agnes, thirteen years earlier. Her mother had died two years later, and now Olivia stood in the churchyard again, bidding her final farewell to her father, the vicar. 

Most men rushed to marry off their daughters to reduce the financial burden on the rest of the family. 

But Papa had been different. Instead of considering daughters a disadvantage, he’d used them to plan for the future. A vicar was after all installed for life. Retire-ment wasn’t an option unless he had the means to hire a curate who could assist him with his duties. And since Papa’s parish was poor and his salary meager, he’d worried about the cost, which would be paid out of his own pocket. 

Hands balled at her sides, Olivia swallowed that thought and stared at the ground. Flowers, already drooping, adorned the newly dug grave. Did she miss him? No. A twinge of renewed guilt pierced her heart as she read his name. Distant, devout, and unforgiving, Jonathan Poole had been a hard man to love. But there was one thing for which Olivia would always thank him, and that was his insistence that she receive a broad education. 

As much as she’d loathed the strictness with which each lesson had been delivered, she was grateful now for the knowledge he had imparted to her. His reason for teaching her Latin, German, and French, for ensuring she was mathematically skilled, no longer mattered. For although she was now five and thirty, unmarried and without prospects, he had, in his effort to save the cost of hiring a curate, given her the tools with which to make something of herself. 

Intent on making the fresh start she not only needed but knew she deserved, Olivia picked up her travelling bag and turned away from the past. With steady footfalls she followed the wet gravel path out onto the street. It was time for her to live, not only for her own sake, but for Agnes’s too. 

She gripped her bag as she approached the inn, hastening her steps when she spotted the coach. Water dripped from the brim of her bonnet, and in her hurry she stepped into a puddle. The icy water seeped inside one of her half–boots and soaked her wool stocking. 

“Drat.” 

Setting her jaw she ignored the discomfort. Just a few more strides and she’d reach the coach. Her hand dove into her pocket, retrieving the ticket she’d purchased the previous day. 

“Will you be passing through Varney?” she asked a man who was in the process of loading bags. She wanted to verify that she had the right coach. Having never left Treadmire before and with only a few funds at her disposal, she’d no desire to end up in the wrong part of the country. 

He shoved a trunk into the boot, then peered at her from beneath the wide brim of his hat while raindrops slid over his shoulders, glossing the capes on his greatcoat. “Aye.” 

“And you’re one of the coachmen?” Just to be sure she’d approached the right person. 

“That I am.” 

Olivia took a step forward and held out her ticket, the paper sagging between her wet fingers. “Will you be able to drop me off at Sutton Hall?” 

He nodded and glanced at her bag. “I can pack that in with the rest if ye like. Or ye can keep it in yer lap.” 

Olivia paused to consider. Her stomach twisted at the idea of letting her only belongings out of her sight. 

“I’ll keep it in my lap.” 

“Suit yerself.” The man pulled the brim of his hat a bit lower and strode to the front of the coach where he placed one foot on the step. “Ye’d best get in if ye want to come with us.” 

Propelled by a mixture of dread and excitement, Olivia pulled the door open. Four passengers, crammed inside the confined space, greeted her with varying degrees of curiosity. Recognizing the Brennants and Mr. Marsh, all parishioners, Olivia offered a smile in the hope they’d be willing to make some room. 

“You can squeeze in next to me,” Mrs. Brennant offered after a moment. She was a robust woman, roughly twenty years Olivia’s senior. Her husband, a broad–shouldered fellow, flattened his mouth but said nothing. Olivia was grateful, for although Mr. Marsh and the younger man who occupied the bench across from the Brennants were slimmer, Olivia would much prefer sitting next to another woman. 

“Thank you.” Olivia climbed inside, squeezed herself into the tiny slot of a space she’d been allocated, bag in lap, and barely managed to shut the door before the conveyance rocked into motion. 

“Where are you off to, Miss Poole?” Mrs. Brennant inquired while Olivia clasped her chilled hands to her mouth, attempting to breathe warm air onto them. 

“To Varney,” Olivia told her. 

“Varney?” Mr. Marsh frowned. “What’s in Varney?” 

“Opportunity,” Olivia said, realizing belatedly that she’d rather not share her dire circumstances with the Treadmire townsfolk. She sighed in response to the unspoken expectation that she elaborate further. “I plan to seek a position advertised in the paper.” 

“But…” Mrs. Brennant’s voice faltered. She shifted her shoulder, pressing Olivia into the side of the coach as it rounded a corner and picked up speed. 

Water droplets on the glass hampered Olivia’s vision when she glanced toward the river where she and Agnes had learned to swim. Her heart gave a squeeze as the coach clattered across the bridge. 

“Your father was a vicar,” Mrs. Brennant added. “A gentleman, by all accounts.” 

Torn away from the view at those words, Olivia clutched her bag more fiercely. These people, save the stranger of course, had been at the service. They’d offered their condolences and had welcomed Papa’s replacement who’d arrived last week. But even though the Pooles had been a part of Treadmire for well over thirty years, they’d mostly kept to themselves. Neither the Brennants nor Mr. Marsh could know what life had been like behind the vicarage doors. 

Olivia swallowed. “Social rank doesn’t always constitute wealth, Mrs. Brennant.” 

“No, I don’t suppose it does.” 

Thankfully, nothing more was said on the matter.
