DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the economic collapse that follows the Napoleonic Wars, retired Ambassador, Sir Horace Lambourn, and his family are all but bankrupt and cannot meet their ever mounting bills. Suddenly, though, a last minute rescue appears in the form of the request for the hand in marriage of Sir Horace’s beautiful daughter, Camilla, from none other than His Serene Highness the Prince of Meldenstein. Sir Horace is cock-a-hoop, especially when he learns of the very generous Marriage Settlement on offer, which will solve all his financial problems for the rest of his life. But understandably Camilla is afraid and appalled at the prospect of marrying a man she has never met. She has lived a quiet and sheltered life in the country with her parents and has no knowledge of the wicked scheming ways of the world outside Escorted by the dashing Captain Hugo Cheverly and her chaperone, an elderly Baroness from Meldenstein, Camilla sets out on a daunting journey by coach across Europe to meet her mysterious Royal suitor. On the way Camilla is made apprehensive and nervous by what she and Hugo Cheverly hear about the ruling family of Meldenstein and their behaviour. When finally they reach the grand and imposing Palace of Meldenstein, the Prince turns out to be a drug-addled, depraved and tyrannical monster. Along the way she meets with many perils as well as the intrigues of High Society and, eventually, love where she least expected to find it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKScandal, adultery and an angry husband has to be avoided if the Duke of Rockinston, one of the most handsome and charming bachelors in London, is to keep his family honour and his preserve his place at the centre of Society. With the furious Earl of Darran hot on his heels, the Duke narrowly escapes complete social ruin after being discovered leaving the home of the lovely Countess at three o'clock in the morning. Unable to convince the Earl that their liaison was nothing more than innocent friendship, the only way the Duke can save his family from scandal, and the Countess from an unpleasant divorce, is by announcing his engagement to someone else as quickly as possible. Aware that any number of London's debutants would jump at the opportunity, but already bored by their vacuous company, the Duke decides to approach his great friend the Duke of Lynbrook to ask for the hand of his beautiful daughter, Venetia. She has everything he is looking for in a wife - renowned beauty, a good family and most importantly having spent the last three years in a Convent school in Paris she will be completely ignorant of his reputation as a rake. There is just one flaw to his magnificent plan. Venetia and he have never met, and are most certainly not in love with each other. Undeterred by this minor detail, Venetia is summoned home by her father, the newspapers are informed and the wedding date set for two weeks time. But neither man has considered how Venetia might feel about their master plan. The Duke of Rockinston may be a charming, wealthy adventurer, but Venetia has always assumed that the man she marries will be her perfect match and is astounded to discover that she is expected to marry a complete stranger. With the Earl still seeking revenge and the elusive Duke away in Scotland until the day of his wedding, will Venetia comply? And if she does, can this marriage of convenience possibly make either the husband or wife happy? With only a fortnight to the big day, Venetia must use all of her exceptional intelligence to work out a way to make a marriage, conceived in desperation, become a love story with a happy ending for everyone.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn their way back to their Residence they had to pass by the Temple that contained the green Buddha and Amina asked if she could once again go inside. “I am sure that you can,” Lord Templeton said and passed the suggestion on to one of the equerries. A footman opened the door for her and he sat back while she went in. The Buddha was there twinkling in the lights of the candles and she thought that he vibrated towards her even more than he had when she had first visited him. This time he seemed to be trying to send Amina a message of vital interest to her and she bent her head to catch it exactly. It suddenly became clear that the Lord Buddha was telling her that something of great importance was about to happen to her and it was that love was coming into her life and that she must take it gratefully with both hands. She stood for a long time looking up at him and thinking about this startling message and wondering where this great love would come from. Then, feeling that by now Lord Templeton might be annoyed at her being so long, she turned and then went outside the Temple and back to the carriage.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKReturning to his family estate after a long absence in India serving under the much-loved and now-deceased Viceroy, Michael, the handsome Earl of Rayburne, is appalled to find that his estate and the local village have gone to rack and ruin. It seems that his uncle to whom he had entrusted them has embezzled everything that the Earl owns, including the contents of Rayburne Castle and has decamped with his loot to America. Penniless and unable to pay the estate’s workers and pensioners, who are on the verge of starvation, he has no choice but to throw himself on the mercy of Lord Frazer, the owner of the neighbouring estate and his family’s bitter enemy in an age-old land dispute over a wood. To the Earl’s astonishment the hateful Lord Frazer offers him not a loan but a gift, amounting to fifty thousand ponds, in order to combine their two estates. But there is one other condition. The Earl must marry Lord Frazer’s young daughter, Ansella, whom he has never even met. Although now he can begin to rescue the estate and its people from ruin, the Earl is in despair, certain that Lord Frazer’s daughter will be an ugly harridan who can never become the beloved ‘Lady in the Castle’ like his late and much-loved mother. But everything changes when he finally sees his bride after their Marriage Service. She is beautiful! Her face is heart-shaped and her hair is pale gold like the sun at dawn – little wonder that soon the young Earl of Rayburne realises that he is falling in love.
