Description

Introducing three of my favorite periods in history - Georgian, Regency, and Victorian. You can find them all in this collector's edition!

Winning in Wedlock

It's a battle of matrimony, but who will win in wedlock?

Miss Dulcenia Hargrove is a bespectacled wallflower, who never thought that she would be fortunate enough to find a prospective husband. However, when she is approached by a celebrated matchmaker, she decides that it wouldn't hurt to take her advice. When they travel to a house party to meet the suitor the lady has in mind, sparks immediately fly. But is his regard in truth?

The Harlot's Hero

Persephone Welton is the daughter of an acknowledged courtesan. As she prepares herself for her virginity auction, she nearly finds herself in the clutches of a libertine who is known for his cruelty. But an unlikely hero saves the day. The moment she spies the Duke of Falcourt, Persephone is infatuated. She wants to be his lover in truth, but he has vowed off any sort of physical intimacy until he brings down the man responsible for his sister's brutal attack.

Hunter Bennett is attracted to the lovely harlot with the red-gold hair, but he isn't some sadistic monster intent on debauching such a young girl. However, neither does he wish for her to suffer a whore's fate, so he sets her up as his mistress, where he then chases his nemesis to India where he spends the next five years gathering evidence to put him away. When he returns, he finds that Persephone has turned into a beautiful woman whom he wants to keep as his own. But trials and challenges along the way test the strength of their love.

The Piper's Paramour

A common woman in Victorian London…

Miss Victory Jones has dreamed of capturing the haunting images of death photography ever since she was an orphan, raised on the goodwill of Lady Goosebury. She never knew her parents, so she wants to give a measure of comfort to those who have suffered the pain of loss.

A veterinarian on the brink of scientific discovery…

Dr. Rhys Grayson is a respected scientist, a man who has devoted his life to the cure of disease by the study of rats. But that isn't his only talent. With his recorder, he can "enchant"' the rodents by his song, an ability that caused his betrothal to falter long ago. When he meets Victory by a chance of fate, his heart starts to beat again. He sees promise for a future that he thought was lost. But when enemies begin to creep out of the East End and threaten everything he holds dear, Rhys must make some difficult decisions… or risk losing the one woman who brought him back to life.

And including two BONUS short stories -

The Day We Fell in Love

Miss Lucy Shaw dreams of something beyond her modest village. When she gains a small inheritance, she feels as though her dreams are finally going to come true. However, after she is approached with an offer of marriage from the baronet, Sir Aaron Doyle, she isn't impressed. She soon learns that his affections are sincere and what she always wanted had nothing to do with her dreams, and everything to do with him.

Aloha Summer

When Genesis Evans finds herself stranded in the wilds of Maui, she is forced to rely on the kindness of local ranger, Ely Hale. The connection is instant, but although romance blossomed for her parents, is Hawaii capable of the same magic for her?
