Description

Tarnished, Tempted And Tamed After being kidnapped by highwaymen, Fiona Chapman is a tarnished woman, or so the gossips have it! Nevertheless, she's not about to succumb to the seduction of her rescuer, the beguiling Major Luke Wolfson. After all, isn't he one of her abductors' cohorts? Yet when her new role as governess is retracted, Fiona is greatly tempted by Luke's offer to make her his mistress. But she won't submit - not unless he's prepared to make her a much more honourable proposal... The Rake's Ruined Lady Beatrice Dewey keeps falling for unsuitable men...she believes the man she loved, Hugh Kendrick, is lost to her forever, and now her new fiance has cancelled their wedding! But then Hugh re-enters her life trailing rumours of illicit love affairs in his wake. Instead of marriage, he offers her a very public, passionate kiss! To succumb to his skilful seduction would be the ultimate road to ruin, but is there enough of the old Hugh left to convince Bea to give him another chance?

Mary Brendan was always a keen reader of historical romance, especially the Regency period. She also writes gritty sagas under a different pseudonym. She was born in north London, lived for a while in Suffolk, and is now back closer to her roots and her adult sons in a village in Hertfordshire. When time permits, she relaxes by browsing junk shops, or by researching family history.
