Three talented authors bring back secondary characters from
previous stories and delight readers with their own tales.
Stephanie Laurens starts the anthology with LOST
AND FOUND. Reggie Carmarthen, a childhood friend of the
Cynster twins, is ready to settle down. He is not looking
for a wild and seductive woman, but a bride who will give
him a nice pleasant life. He bumps into Ann Ashford, a
woman on a mission. Ann, a supporter of the Foundling Home,
decides to locate the aristocratic father of a child to
demand he take responsibility. Always shy, Ann exhibits
great courage as she confronts her suspects. Reggie joins
forces with her to identify the father and sparks of
attraction ignite between them.
In the novella from Elizabeth Boyle, THE
MATCHMAKER'S BARGAIN, a runaway miss stumbles upon the
matchmaker's cottage. Accepting the matchmaker's
hospitality, Amanda accidentally sets off a chain of events
that change her life forever. She meets Jemmy, a war
veteran with scars and permanent injuries from the war. A
recluse, Jemmy finds he's interested in returning to the
living after his encounter with Amanda. Jemmy aids Amanda
as she tries to dodge the matchmaker. However, magic is
sprinkled upon them and romance blossoms.
THE THIRD SUITOR by Christina Dodd tells of
Lady Jessie, an heiress whose father despairs of her
wedless state and issues an ultimatum -- pick one of three
suitors, or he will. Trying to escape the clutches of one
amorous suitor, Jessie crawls through the bushes and is
discovered by Harry Chamberlain, Earl of Granville. Harry
delights in the blunt and tactless beauty and finds she
chases away the malaise that plagues him. He decides to
help her evade her suitors while he tries to win her heart.
Ms. Dodd's clever tale shines with sparkling dialogue and a
dash of suspense added. As always, Ms. Laurens delights
readers with the touching tale of two people finding love
in unexpected places. Those wanting a touch of magic will
be pleased with Ms. Boyle's lighthearted tale.

appeared in WHERE'S MY HERO, each author is reintroducing a
secondary character from a previous book to star in his own
story. Revisit your favorite Lost Heroes, and see old
