Like the Ransleigh Rogues, not all the Wellingford cousins
grew up in wealth and ease. This sister and brother,
children of a vicar who served with the East India Company,
had to make their own way in the world. In FROM WAIF
TO GENTLEMAN'S WIFE, searching for her brother,
governess Joanna Merrill turns up in desperate straits on
the doorstep of Sir Edward Greeves. Operating under an
assumed name, Ned doesn't want to attract attention, but
what can a gentleman do but offer shelter to a lady in
distress? In SOCIETY'S
MOST DISREPUTABLE GENTLEMAN, Joanna's missing brother,
Greville Anders, has problems of his own. Abducted and sold
to a press gang, the wounded Greville is returned to England
to recover at the home of Lord Bronning. His vow to reform
his dissolute rake's ways is severely tested by the
beautiful, disdainful daughter of his host. Amanda Neville
has trained all her life to make a brilliant marriage and
become a great political hostess. She's not about to risk
that dream by succumbing to her unfortunate attraction to a
moneyless younger son, not matter how seductively handsome
he might be. What does the future hold for these siblings?
Julia is offering two winners a set of both books. Enter
below for your chance to win!
Greville, who was fired from his job as estate manager
and then abducted and pressed into the Royal Navy, returns
after 8–month's service at sea a radically different
man. Eager to obtain his release and pursue an honest
career, he has little interest in the idle Society he used
to frequent. But despite his vow to reform his rake's ways,
how could he help but flirt with his host's beautiful
daughter Amanda?
For her part, Amanda Neville has dreamed since childhood of
becoming a brilliant Society hostess. She's not about to
risk that goal by dallying with a younger son of little
fortune, no matter how scandalously attractive he might be!
