Virginia married three times - once when her parents told her to, once when she fell deeply in love with a rake and the final time to the man who had waited patiently for her. Each husband was an earl of the realm, but in very different circumstances. Daniel was the son of her first marriage to a wealthy peer. Orlando and Perdita were the issue from her wastrel husband, who died leaving her in penury. Corin and his siblings were the result of the long-lasting marriage to the Earl of Taversall. Now the children are grown and looking for partners of their own.

A
love too strong to disguise, a disgrace too deep to ignore.
Orlando Garland, Lord Blyth, has spent a lifetime
restoring the family fortunes but now it's time for
him to think of himself for a change. When he hires a dowdy
companion for his invalid sister, it doesn't take him
long to suspect "Charlotte" is more than she appears.
Yet the lively young woman proves to be good for his sister.
And Orlando can't ignore the seductive beauty behind
the disguise.
Violetta Palagio's mask has never chafed before-until
now. She longs for the freedom to love the handsome Orlando.
Yet to reveal herself would be disastrous for them both. She
is La Perla Perfetta, the daughter of London's most
successful courtesan. For most of her life, her mother has
cleverly kept Violetta's identity a secret. Will she
risk all that, now the threat that kept them in disguise for
so long is finally gone?
For the first time in her life, Violetta is in love. Can she
find the courage to come out from behind the mask?
And if she does, will Orlando chance everything he has worked
so hard to rebuild-for a courtesan's daughter? |

A Triple Countess Book
There's More To This Man Than Satin and Lace.
Perdita Garland
is back in society after a serious riding accident sapped
her strength and her confidence. The first man who interests
her is a popinjay but there is far more under the pampered
skin of the enticing Marquis of Petherbridge.
A mistake Perdita makes with the Marquis’s spoiled daughter
leads to grave consequences and she finds herself in a strange
city alone with his lordship, who is now masquerading as a
dock worker. The sheer power under his fine exterior astonishes
and delights her. But she has to put right a wrong she caused
first.
Newly returned to England from the court of Versailles, English
society finds Charles Dalton’s manners and dress astonishing,
but they cover a man broken by a disastrous marriage to a
faithless wife. Now a widower and determined not to be fooled
again, Charles is nevertheless charmed by Lady Perdita Garland
and the steely strength of will under the fragile exterior.
When they are plunged into danger, Charles and Perdita have
to cope with a dilemma that could ruin the lives of more than
one person. Drawn to each other by a desire neither has known
before, they are forced to rely on each other’s strengths
to win the day. |

Sapphira Vardon needs five thousand pounds to avoid a cruel marriage and a grim future, and there’s only one path for her. Don a mask and an assumed name, and risk everything to win at the gaming tables. First, though, she has to get through the door. Luckily she knows just whose name to drop.

Sapphira is desperate to keep her identity a secret, but Lord Elston’s devastating kisses and touches demand complete surrender. And once he learns the truth, there’s more at stake than guineas. Corin finds himself falling hard for a woman who’s poised to run. A woman who’s about to learn that he only plays to win… |
