Two Regency historical romances in one volume for the first
time.
The Golden Feather
Caroline Aldrich regretted her impetuous elopement when her
weak husband lost every last penny to his name trying to
keep up with his fast companions with their high fashion and
even higher-stakes gambling. After his death, she finds the
sole asset remaining is the deed to a gambling hell.
Thus begins her masquerade as Mrs. Archer, to earn enough
gold to pay for her innocent sister Pheobe's remaining years
in school, fund her coming out, and if she is careful,
enable Mrs. Archer to fade into obscurity while Caroline
builds a life in society.
Justin Seward was a reckless youth, who paid for the harm
his actions caused his family with a long exile in the heat
of India. When he returns to take his place as Earl of
Lyndon, he finds his young brother doing his best to fill
the feckless shoes he left behind. When he encounters Mrs.
Archer, there is something that intrigues him in her
forthright manner, but she is forgotten when he meet
Caroline Aldrich, and is enchanted by her honesty.
The Rules of Love
Roselind Chase works hard as headmistress of a finishing
school for young misses, and even harder as "A Lady", author
of A Lady's Rules for Proper Behavior, a book taking
society by storm. It is not enough to cover the cost of her
younger brother's thoughtless purchases and gambling debts,
however, and no matter how strongly she speaks to him, he
continues in his heedless ways. He is encouraged by the
actions and attitudes of Lord Morley, a rake who has set
himself to break every rule in her book, indeed, to not only
break them, but to demolish them to the point that society
will no longer pay the rules any heed, and cutting into
Roselind's sorely needed profits.
Amanda McCabe always gives good value for the time spent
reading her novels, and these two gems are no exception.
Fun, frivolous romps, well-written and worth revisiting.
Two classic regencies together for the first time The Golden

husband's only legacy to her is a notorious gaming
establishment-where she must hide her face from all,
