An Acceptable Arrangement by Jeanne Savery
Will a false engagement lead to true love?
-- SEARCHING FOR THE PERFECT MATES...
At twenty-four, Miss Phillida Morgan is comfortable in her spinsterhood. Yet if she must wed, she intends to choose well. Alas, most of the ton's candidates are bores, poseurs, or both. So Phillida enlists her abigail's assistance, for who better to gauge a man's character than his servants? But her strategy flies out the window when she encounters handsome Lucas Strathedene, a legendary rake who is definitely not marriage material. If only he weren't possessed of a delicious wit. If only she could remain sensible and rein in her runaway heart....
...THEY WOULD DISCOVER A PERFECT LOVE
Never has Lucas been so entertained... or piqued. For he and the enchanting Miss Morgan have only just met, when she informs him that she will not consider him when looking for a husband. Of course, she has no idea that he is in the market for a wife, that in fact, he has his butler searching for the paragon. Still there are damn few women who'd reject him so handily. It is the beginning of a most unusual friendship. And when both find overbearing relatives breathing down their necks, Lucas proposes a sham engagement... never realizing he'll soon be wishing it were anything but pretend....
The Widow and the Rake by Jeanne Savery
LOVE LOST'
Five years had passed, but Pierce Reston, Duke of `Stornway, remembered the humiliation and heartache only too well. Despite his ardent courtship, Lady Joanna Ransome had escaped his tender trap, jilted him, and married a soldier! Now her husband had just been lost in battle, and the beguiling widow was once more at liberty. This time, Pierce vowed, no rival would ever come between them. For their love was meant to be...whether the lovely Joanna realized it yet or not!
LOVE REGAINED
Lady Jo never expected to see Pierce again. The dark and dashing duke was as devilishly attractive as ever, yet she knew she daren't trust him. After all, hadn't the rogue nearly single-handedly sabotaged her first trip to the altar? And here he was, pursuing her all over again! Jo vowed to avoid him at all costs, but she could scarcely resist the attraction that flared between them...nor could she deny the yearning of her own heart. For when it came to love, the second time was, truly, a charm!

SCANDAL'S DARLING
Never one to resist an adventure, governess Harriet Cole was only too delighted to help her young charge flee France - and the designs of a despicable suitor. But more trouble soon arrived in the person of Sir Frederick Carrington, London's most notorious rake...a man Harriet remembered none too fondly from her short-lived season just a few years before. And the seductive scoundrel would insist on providing safe escort - all the way back to England!
Though she deemed him far more dangerous than any band of brigands, Harriet secretly relished matching wits with the devilishly handsome nobleman. Then Sir Frederick took her in his arms for a tender kiss that revealed his character in a whole new light. Now, as intrigue ensnared them in its web, Harriet found herself caught in a passion's sensual spell. Could a lady find love with an incorrigible but irresistible rogue?
