Resolved In Love: Books 1-4
(2020)(A book in the Resolved In Love series)
An omnibus of novels by Penny Fairbanks
The complete collection of the Resolved In Love series.
Four romantic tales of love in the Regency era—hidden identities at a masquerade, two hearts in need of healing, a fake courtship by the beach, and one last chance to love again.
Behind the Baron's Mask:
At an illustrious masquerade ball Miss Cecilia Richards feels deliciously emboldened by her mask. She plays the pianoforte with abandon and allows herself to be swept away onto the dance floor by a masked gentleman with passions that match her own. Henry Neil, Baron of Neil, detests parties. How could he not? They were horrible distractions from his writing. But when he finds himself with a graceful and passionate lady dancing dreamlike in his arms, he can’t help but feel that parties may have their own heavenly attributes after all. But she’s gone before he can attain her name. Was the masked gentleman her last chance at love before she is put on the shelf? Will the passionate artists be able to find the beauty of love that lays before them?
Healing the Captain's Heart:
Violet Davies has sworn to serve the Neil family for the rest of her days. Working as a lady’s maid to the kind Lady Neil is a fine effort to distance herself from her horrific past…until one of her tormentors shows up at the door. Her brother. On a mission to seek forgiveness and make amends, Captain Owen Jessup has been invited to accompany his best friend, Frank, to visit Frank’s sister. His quite lovely sister. The war has been over for a year, but at the sight of her, the war in his heart has just now begun. Can Captain Jessup heal her past hurt, and allow himself the pleasure of protecting her from a painful future?
Finding the Artisan's Future:
Whoever insinuated that happily ever after needed to include romantic love was clearly lying. Or insane. Miss Rosamund Henshell is perfectly content and definitely not in love. Nor will she ever be if she has anything to say about it. And she has plenty to say about it because she generally has plenty to say about everything. Mr. Daniel Williams believes deeply in love, hard work, and as part owner of Williams’ Perfumes, he also believes in perfectly scented perfumes. This kind-hearted and accepting merchant works diligently to take care of his family, but with a mother who has passed away and a father who is aging, he can’t afford any distractions. Will the deal they soon strike prove to be too much for their guarded hearts? Will Rosamund be able to move past the shadow of her loveless upbringing?
Embracing the Earl's Dream:
Miss Juliet Richards thinks there may be something wrong with her. She’s no longer interested in boring conversations in drawing rooms or attending fancy parties. Was it too much to ask to make a difference in the world? Perhaps, despite her parents’ plans, she could be a governess. Then she’d be able to help a child and live her own life more freely. Solomon Catley, Earl of Overton, continues to mourn over the love that was almost his. He thinks daily of the woman who broke his heart—Miss Juliet Richards. Now, he’s been given the task of watching over his niece, Pearl. His life has handed him only heartbreak, it seems. But in Pearl’s arrival, he is determined to provide for her only joy. A chance miscommunication. Two broken hearts forced to live under the same roof. And dreams at opposition. Can he overcome past wounds? Would a future as a countess provide Juliet the freedom she desires . . . or smother her in social boredom?
