Mills & Boon Historical — Your romantic escape to the past. Penniless Until The Earl’s Proposal - Helen Dickson 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 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... A Wager To Win The Debutante - Eva Shepherd Wealthy rail baron Thomas Hayward needs a duke’s land to expand his empire, but the oaf insists on a ridiculous wager: they’ll both woo debutante Miss Grace Lowerby and, if she chooses the Duke (which she surely will), Thomas gets the land at a cheaper price. He can’t lose... To save her family, Grace must marry the Duke, yet in dashing Thomas she’s found a man she can finally be herself with. But focussing on her goal is paramount...until she discovers the wager and — annoyingly! — that it’s Thomas she’s falling for! The Lady’s Proposal For The Laird - Jeanine Englert When Susanna Cameron needs to thwart her brothers’ plan to marry her off, she turns to her childhood sweetheart, Laird Rowan Campbell, with a daring proposal — to be her pretend betrothed! In exchange, she’ll help the now hardened Rowan get revenge on the man who killed his family. The only flaw in Susanna’s plan — their returning attraction!

Paul Pennyfeather is a second-year theology student who, as a result of mistaken identity, has his “education discontinued for personal reasons.” He ends up as a schoolmaster at a fourth-rate school, hired despite not meeting any of the qualifications in their advertisement. He there encounters a cornucopia of eccentric characters, including another master who has a wooden leg, a former clergyman with capital-D Doubts, and a servant who tells everyone he’s rich, but with a different tale for each about why he’s posing as a servant. Paul’s time at school leads to romance with a student’s mother, and that in turn leads to enormous complications in Paul’s life. Inspired in part by his own experiences in school and as a schoolmaster, Evelyn Waugh’s first published novel, Decline and Fall, is a dark and occasionally farcical satire of British college life. It’s something of a perverse coming-of-age story, subverting the expected journey and ending that the archetype usually demands. Shining a devastating light on many of the societal struggles of post-WWI Britain, Waugh took his novel’s title from another work that revealed the ineluctable descent of a great society: Gibbons’ The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Waugh issued a new edition of Decline and Fall in 1960 that contained restored text that was removed by his publisher from the first edition. This Standard Ebooks edition follows the first edition. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

The all-volunteer force, the historic norm in peacetime America, was reestablished in the U.S. on 30 June 1973, when induction authority expired. But never before had the U.S. attempted to field a standing Army in peacetime -- based on voluntary enlistments -- with the worldwide responsibilities that faced this force. Since the mid-1980s the ability of the armed forces to recruit and retain quality volunteers has not been seriously questioned. This book takes us through those years of transition, examining both the context in which the end of the draft occurred and the perspective which the Army's leaders brought to bear on the challenge they faced.
