Golden Barrier
To be poor but happy was all she wanted…
Katherine was gentle and diffident. Her looks were pleasant and her talents modest. The conviction grew within her that she owed her undoubted social success to the fact that she was an heiress. With the inheritance of her fortune, Katherine becomes an overnight sensation. Suitors come from far and wide to woo her – yet none take her hand as she mistrusts them all. But when Katherine meets Dermot, a gentleman of modest means, she is perplexed to find that he won’t pursue her. And this makes him all the more attractive. Suddenly Dermot finds out Katherine is an heiress, and she, in turn, starts putting on airs. Convinced that he only wants her for her money, Katherine believes Dermot is like all the others. There is only one way he can prove his love. But first he must fight off the real fortune hunters…
High Garth
The last thing Ann Beverly expected when she left the home of her rich stepfather to earn her own living was to work as a housekeeper on a farm. But she soon came to love the Yorkshire countryside and was grateful for the kindness of Patrick, her employer. Ann never dreamed she’d fall in love with Patrick. And Patrick seemed too modest to dream of marrying a “lady”…
Honey Pot
Russet’s mouth dropped open as she stared at him aghast. Surely, oh surely, he was not going to suggest that she should marry him! Beautiful Russet Ingram was the toast of the London social set with many suitors clamoring for her attentions. But she had no intention of stealing anyone’s beau. And she certainly was not interested in Lucian Staneborough, who was allegedly betrothed to sharp-tongued Letty Waydene. Letty, however, was suspicious and told her guardian, handsome and wealthy James Cameron, that Russet was threatening her marriage—and her happiness. She begged Cameron for his help. So it was that on the beginning of Russet’s journey to Rome, her carriage was stopped and she was abducted—and taken to Cameron’s estate. She was an unwilling prisoner for nearly a month. Then, suddenly, things began to change. . .
Miss Mouse
Good looks and an attractive personality were a positive disadvantage to a girl who was obliged to earn her living as a governess. When Graine Ashley takes up her third appointment in two years, she goes to considerable lengths to disguise these natural attributes. Circumstances eventually conspire to show her in her true colours, but by that time her standing with the family has been established. Unfortunately, she has also fallen in love with her employer. She has too much common sense to envisage any possibility of marriage with one so far above her. The only prudent thing to be done is to set him at a distance; a wise course, that proves to be remarkably difficult to achieve.
No Impediment
Strictly speaking there was no impediment to a marriage between the orphaned Pippa Langley, and Quentin Cresswell, the Fifth Marquess of Merland. Except, as the Dowager Marchioness didn’t hesitate to point out, ‘marquesses do not marry village maidens…’ Pippa was hardly a village maiden. Hut although her background was impeccable, and her wealth sufficient, it had to be admitted that she was only the niece of the village doctor. Quentin could most certainly do better for himself… But Quentin had other ideas, and when the Dowager Marchioness began to meddle she found she had precipitated a most unwelcome situation…
Simon’s Waif
Harriet’s birth was no more than respectable and although she had wealthy relatives she herself was penniless. Cast upon the world at fifteen she spent five miserable years as an under servant in a pretentious middleclass household until ill treatment drove her to run away. Accident brought her to Furzedown, the home of Simon Warhurst, but prolonged residence in a bachelor household was obviously unsuitable. Various kindly ladies interested themselves in her welfare and she even made a modest début in Society. Her success attracted the attention of her wealthy grandfather, who decided that she would make a suitable bride for his heir, but rank and wealth held no appeal for Harriet, whose heart was already given. Once again she was obliged to run away, but this time she found safety and happiness in the care of the man she loved.
Stranger within the Gates
When Robert Develyn inherited a Kentish estate, he looked to spend his life in rural peace. However, the inheritance carried with it a complication within his gates, that of ‘ageing spinster’ Francesca Thornish, and Robert found himself under a moral obligation to keep a protective eye on that very independent lady. When, in addition, the safety of the black colt, Merlin, was threatened, Robert found that his placid existence was at an end — and that he infinitely preferred the new order of things.
The Byram Succession
It was her first introduction to society – and love… Albertine ‘Tina’ Newton knows her worth. The most beautiful girl of the Season, she knew she was born to grace a nobler establishment. And she has her sights set on the perfect husband: Lord Skirlaugh, the heir to the Duke of Byram. Scarred, disillusioned, and cynical, Skirlaugh must nonetheless marry to ensure the succession. He neither expected nor desired love; just a well-bred conformable wife with a reasonable dowry. Tina is certain that there is no one to outshine her. But when her cousin Thea inherits a fortune, she also becomes a contender for Skirlaugh’s attention. Then, after meeting on a roadside when both stopped to aid a young man with a badly injured horse, it seems that Thea and Skirlaugh have more potential than Tina thinks… But which aspiring débutante will please his critical taste?
The Swynden Necklace
She only knew that she was his to command; that her body thrilled to his lightest touch, her heart leapt at his smile; and that he was not for her. Honor Fenton was lovely, but penniless. There seemed to be little in her future but spinster-hood. Then one day she received an unexpected legacy—the fabulous Swynden necklace. Not long after this she was rescued from an unpleasant street incident by a dashing young stranger. When Honor learned that the stranger, Mr. Jocelyn, was the agent of a certain Marquess who wanted to purchase the necklace she was very disturbed. She did not know quite what to make of the mysterious Mr. Jocelyn. At first she was furious. Partly because she was attracted to him—and partly because she felt he was only interested in the jewels. Then someone discovered the truth about the Swynden necklace
