Together for the first time in one box set...
THE WICKED HEIR
Every guest invited to the house party at Nedworth Hall has a secret.
Lady Patience Wycombe has been sent to Nedworth Hall for the summer under protest. Why should she be prevailed upon to spend her summer conversing with people when she would much rather stay in London with her books for company? She is determined to ignore her mother's wish that she find a husband...
...until the most notorious rake in London singles her out for sin.
Arden Covington's reputation was ruined from the moment he was born. He has always embraced his wickedness...and made it profitable. But few people know the reason he is constantly in need of money, or that he has a sentimental heart. So when Lady Patience shows no fear in the face of his attempts to seduce her, he falls for her hard and fast.
But with everyone at the house party eager to discover the identity of Lord Carshalton's mysterious heir, will Arden have the freedom to pursue Patience, or will another suitor with sordid intentions compromise her first?
THE ENRAPTURED HEIR
He has sworn off women. She falls in love with him at first sight. But can they fight the attraction between them?
After a single, spoiled season five years before, Lady Angeline O'Shea cannot believe she has been invited to a house party where matches are certain to be made. Everyone is scrambling to discover the identity of Lord Carshalton's mysterious heir, but Angeline would rather solve the mystery of how to make Lord Rafe McAllister, the Marquess of Rothbury, smile again.
But she has her work cut out for her where this wounded hero is concerned...
Fresh off of a broken engagement in which his reputation was raked through the mud, Rafe wants nothing more than to hide away at Nedworth Hall for the summer, licking his wounds. He supposes he'll have to marry eventually, but the last woman on earth that he could see as his marchioness is cheerful, angelic, innocent Angeline.
But Angeline's sweetness enchants him, and before Rafe can stop it, his reluctant fondness for the Irish angel turns into a passion that he cannot deny...
...until his former fiancée shows up at the house party.
THE SURPRISE HEIR
Sometimes the right man comes along in what seems like the wrong package, and sometimes making the wrong decision turns out to be the right way to fall in love....
American dollar princess Melanie Pennypacker has accepted the surprise invitation to join a matchmaking house party for the summer for one reason and one reason only—to find a partner. But not a marriage partner. Melanie is looking for a business partner to invest in her dream of opening a new department store of the sort that are taking London by storm. But no man wants to invest in a business-minded woman.
Anyone with eyes can see that valet Frank Crymble is the illegitimate first-cousin of his employer, Lord Avery O'Shea, and like the rest of the O'Shea family, Frank has ambitions above his station and a penchant for scandal. When he catches Melanie behaving badly away from the other house party guests, the two of them instantly come up with a scheme that will get them both what they want.
But a marriage of convenience might be harder to pull off than Melanie and Frank suspect when every one of their friends is against the match. And when Melanie's father shows up at the house party to drag her home, both her and Frank's dreams hang in the balance. Until they hatch a plan to convince everyone they are deeply in...
