Regina Darcy's Runaway Brides series sizzles, as opposites attract in the most unlikely circumstances at the heart of Regency England. A special edition collection, following the run-away brides amongst the Duke of Summersby's acquaintances and friends. Includes a never before published story.
1. Against her will
The Duke of Summersby, James Carlington, is eccentric to say the least. Fed up with being harangued about not yet tying the proverbial knot he decides to focus his energies on one knot that he can undo - that of a debt to the duchy by a dastardly viscount. His solution to the problem might be considered extreme by most and crazy by everyone, but it is about to steer him head-on to a maiden who is woman enough to make him want to change his bachelor ways. Pity Lady Georgette Davis is already promised to another. Besides, she has more serious matters on her mind. Whatever the circumstances, she will not allow her head to be turned by the maddening and darkly handsome Duke of Summersby.
But sometimes the best laid plans are laid to ruins by destiny. An arranged marriage, a runaway bride and a scandal the likes the ton has never seen.
2. The daring escape
The Marquess of Dennington, Michael Danton, is not looking to tie the proverbial knot. He watches with cynical amusement as his dearest friends succumb to the marital status. He would rather focus on a decent sword fight, good wine and an even better mistress. But all of that is about to change when he sets his eyes on Honora Westing. Pity she happens to be the runaway bride of a duke. One with a foreboding reputation and a temper to boot.
Never would Honora have believed that love could truly happen at first sight. With her scorned fiance looking for her all over the countryside, she must guard her heart because no good can come out of breaking the marriage contract of the century. Pity her heart has no intention of taking her advice.
3. Mistaken for a Cyprian
Christopher Ambrose, Earl of Henton is a known libertine and scoundrel. Although he recently inherited his title and should be about the business of finding a bride and fathering an heir he hasn't quite let go of his party-going ways. That is, until he gets saddled with the guardianship of two young women. Miss Phoebe and Miss Prudence Connolly, sisters identical in all but temper. Now his quiet bachelor life has been turned upside down whilst his heart is being turned inside out. Pity Miss Prudence is less likely to spout words of love than scripture and damnation, can she ever see him as anything but a libertine?
4. Saving a scoundrel
George Devon, the Earl of Gilberton, is lethal and ruthless. Suspended from his work as an agent for the Crown, the Earl exists under a dark cloud of suspicion for crimes he didn't commit. He's on a desperate race to clear his name, the last thing on his mind is matrimony. But he is about to meet a woman that will stop him in his track. Pity she is the sister of his greatest enemy.
