Love's Pride

The only thing Miss Guinevere Harding needs is a safe place to hide. A job as the downstairs maid at Brookshire is the perfect refuge from a frightening past. Or, at least it was until the arrival of the new duke.

Miss Caroline Jennings is facing a life of shame and poverty. She has lost everything: her home, her father, and any chance of happiness. What is more? If her father's secret is exposed, she will be known as the daughter of a traitor. Surely, life cannot get much worse. When a carriage accident throws her into the river - fitting punishment for her father's crimes - she is tempted to allow herself to succumb. It is only the thought of her two younger sisters and the strong arms of her rescuer that keep her among the living.

One mistake has left Miss Emily Robbins in poverty, alone, and a social outcast. Only the love of the Earl of Lincolnshire can save her from a life of shame. Hudson Sinclair, The Earl of Lincolnshire, has but one regret: leaving the only girl he ever loved. He will move Heaven and Earth to save her - even if that means twisting fate.

Some might consider him a bit of a beast. Others knew him to be particular and demanding. The Marquess of Penrith didn't really care. After returning from war, all he wanted was peace and quiet. But duty and honor demanded that he marry the young Miss Davis. An obligation that could not be denied. Luckily, marriage did not equate to love. Two people from different worlds forced together, both searching for happiness. Perhaps they can only find it by coming together.
