Description

Contracted As His Countess - Louise Allen From a recluse secluded in a castle...to his countess! Cloistered away in a castle since birth, Madelyn Aylmer must now fulfill her eccentric father's dying request: wed nobleman Jack Ransome! She has what Jack needs - land - and so he accepts their marriage of convenience and vows to introduce this sheltered innocent to society. But what Madelyn hadn't expected was the way her body reacts to Jack, especially to his promise of a union filled with unbridled passion! Christmas With His Wallflower Wife - Janice Preston A convenient bride. Can he be the groom she deserves? Lord Alexander Beauchamp has protected Lady Jane Colebrooke since childhood. So seeing she's about to be forced to wed, he steps in with a proposal of his own! But Alex underestimated the closeness that taking Jane as his bride demands - something he expected never to give. As Christmas approaches, he knows he must confront the dark secrets that shadow their marriage...

Janice Preston grew up in Wembley. At eighteen she moved to Devon, where she met and married a farmer, but she now lives in the West Midlands with her second husband and two cats. She has two children and two step-children, all now adults. Apart from farming, Janice has worked as a conveyancer, a police call handler and a university administrator. She currently works part-time for a weight management counsellor (vainly trying to control her own weight despite her love of chocolate!).
