An absolutely delightful romp through London and the ton. You'll be amazed at the gossip, enthralled by the strong and capable women and surprised at the outcomes. I know you'll enjoy meeting each and every one of them.

A PROPER ENGLISHWOMAN by Eloisa James -- It's time she takes matters into her own hands. After all, Miss Emma Loudan is 24 and has been betrothed to Gil, the Earl of Kerr, since childhood. Gossip is running rampant about his love for French women. A masquerade ball is perfect for Emma to enact a scheme to ensure that her future husband never forgets her again. Emma travels to London and the fun begins. A PROPER ENGLISHWOMAN is a delightful story, taking our hearts along for the ride.

THE VICAR'S WIDOW by Julia London -- It was only one kiss, one magical kiss when she was the vicar's wife. Now, over two years later, Kate is the vicar's widow. Darien, Lord Montgomery, one of the ton's most eligible bachelors, has never forgotten that magical kiss they shared. But there's a jealous young debutante who wants Lord Montgomery for herself and will stop at nothing to have him. THE VICAR'S WIDOW is a beautiful love story that warms the heart and confirms that love conquers all.

CLEARLY A COUPLE by Rebecca Hagan Lee -- Jonathan Manners, eleventh Earl of Barclay, one of the newest members of the Free Fellows League, is entrusted with a mission to pick up a parcel at Plum Cottage and return it to London. Little does he know that "the parcel" is Lady India Burton, a woman who fell prey to pirates five years earlier and was held captive in a sultan's harem. With her reputation in ruins, can she ever be considered a lady, accepted by the ton and make a decent match? When Johathan meets India, he sees a sweet, amazingly innocent and incredibly tempting woman. He marvels at his good fortune. CLEARLY A COUPLE will delight you. I love every member of the Free Fellows League, and Jonathan is no exception. Take this wonderful adventure of the heart. You'll be glad you did.

MISS JENNY ALT'S FIRST KISS by Jacqueline Navin -- Jenny owes so much to her aunt, who took her in after her parent's death years earlier. She feels an obligation to take care of her and be the best niece she can be. Jenny doesn't see marriage in her future until Miles, the handsome Earl of Hatherleigh, comes to London in search of a wife. But her cousin fancies herself in love with him even though Jenny is very much attracted to him. Is it fair that she give up the first chance of happiness that's come her way? MISS JENNY ALT'S FIRST KISS is a delight. Miles sees past the spectacles to the woman he's been dreaming of. This story is magical and should not be missed.

SUMMARY

Nothing sets tongues wagging like a scandalous dalliance. In the salons of the ton, no tidbit is more delicious than a rumor of amour--the more outrageous the better. Rakes and rogues, ladies of high station and low morals are choice fodder for the gossips of society. Now, four of today's most popular Regency authors titillate the ton with tales of how untoward talk can fan the flames of passion. A Proper Englishwoman by Eloisa James
Betrothed since they were children, Gilbert Baring-Gould, Earl of Kerr, and the Honorable Emma Loudan are not quite what one would call a perfect match. The whole Ton knows him to be a complete rakehell, hardly the ideal spouse for a lady. When he horrifies the Ton by announcing that he won't go through with the marriage until Emma is carrying his child - - or did he say that she was already carrying a child? -- the gossips (and Emma) go wild. Obviously she should hand this Beelzebub his ring back directly. But curiosity, and a strong wish to teach her brazen-faced fiancΓ© some manners, demand that she beat him at his own game. So she does. It's the story of a reluctant bridegroom (engaged since childhood, and hasn't seen his fiancΓ©e in years), a bride who's losing her patience, and a wild night in which the said bridegroom meets a wicked, delicious Frenchwoman…or is she?
