But she had too much common sense to let dreams color her reality. Harwell was a friend and neighbor--and destined to marry some Incomparable.However, she was quite aware of his budding interest in her now that her poetry had won the attention of literary lion Lord Sylvester, whose own presence bestowed a grand dose of spring fever on Apple Hill. Love was in bloom. Most passionately in the heart of a rake who never fully appreciated the rose that had blossomed quite literally under his nose!

    Though courted by a wealthy earl, Catherine Forsythe finds herself falling for the handsome estate gardener and faced with the choice of marrying for money and security, or following her heart.

    So she ran away - to a charming home on the country estate of Alexander Barr, Viscount Hawkswood, the most notorious rake in London. Juliet would simply pretend to be his wife while he was away.

    For her bewitching mother, the Countess of Clovelly, was notorious for her amorous escapades, and every hot-blooded gentleman in society expected Amanda to follow in the Countess's straying footsteps. So far Amanda had succeeded in steering clear of the clutches of those eager young blades. She even had begun to hope that the eminently respectable Sr Giles Boothe might consider her a possible match. But when, by her mother's cunning design, Amanda found herself in the arms of the incredibly handsome and charming Viscount North, the most irresistible if infamous rake in the realm, she discovered she could defend her virtue only if she refused to listen to her heart.

    It happens all the time.""That is not a lady, madam. That is Sibyl Cameron." So says Tarquin Rome, a rather stiff, superbly handsome earl who has been harassed by this irrepressible mishap-prone chit since boyhood. Why then would his mother invite Sibyl to his artfully planned house party? Why, indeed. The lofty earl is hardly likely to notice that the beautiful Sibyl is no longer in pinafores and pigtails--especially since he has invited three Incomparables from which he will choose his bride. But when embarrassing and awkward moments transpire at his gathering, Tarquin can only blame Sibyl. Which hardly explains his increasing desire for her company--and her affection. . . .

    The pretty young widow had immediately agreed to take them in despite her family's objections. Nevermind how odd it was that their father wasn't leaving them with his own family. Captain Richard Falk, one of the rudest gentlemen Emily had ever had the misfortune to encounter, obviously knew his own mind and far be it from Emily to question his motives. That he was also undeniably attractive, she coolly ignored. All in all, it was a very good thing he would be absent more often than present... AN ARROGANT CAPTAIN Captain Falk did not have much patience with silly, missish women. So he was rather pleasantly surprised by Emily Foster's good sense and refreshingly forthright manner. That his thoughts dwelled on her was of course due to his concern for his children and not to her pair of fine blue eyes or the way she laughed at him so charmingly. Or perhaps he was concerned that the mysterious circumstances that had forced him to entrust his children to her care would put her in danger—and he would not be there to protect her...

    Unwittingly, she becomes the savior of an enigmatic man who suddenly approaches and kisses her to evade the violent scoundrels stalking him. Terrified and aghast at his audacity, she abandons him to his fate, only to discover his identity as a roguish nobleman engaged to the very woman who insulted her! She finds herself drawn into a web of frightening intrigue, in which the only way out is to trust the desire in her heart....
