The Regency Lords & Ladies Collection: Mistress or Marriage? / A Roguish Gentleman

Mistress of Marriage? by Elizabeth Rolls To ensure the succession of the Helford family line, it's imperative that David Melville, Viscount Helford should marry - and soon! He's determined to choose a wife of nobility and decorum as a matter of convenience - until his resolve is shaken to the core by the independent and fiery Miss Marsden. Sophie's plain beauty, forthrightness and virtually penniless state are nothing Viscount Helford desires in a wife. But she stirs a passion in him he cannot resist. The solution seems easy, but to take her as his mistress would tarnish her good name - something he knows she can't afford to lose. But can he afford to lose her? A Roguish Gentleman by Mary Brendan Viscount Stratton had a reputation as an adventurer and a daredevil. He also kept the most beautiful mistresses of any man in the ton. So all of London was agog with the news that Stratton suddenly planned to wed Lady Elizabeth Rowe. Lady Elizabeth's family owed money to the viscount, and the only way to repay it was with Elizabeth's sizable dowry. But the sensible girl had no desire to wed such a rogue, even if he was handsome as sin. Everyone, Elizabeth included, wondered why Stratton had agreed to marry a lady with a dubious reputation. Was it love - or revenge?
