** FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED **
After the disgrace of a wedding that did not quite succeed in happening, Lady Blanchette Cavendish was finally ready to consider speaking to gentlemen again.

She had not expected to meet two interesting men at once, during her parent’s house party. Nor had she expected seduction, and disreputable behaviour.

Captain Henry Westbury has no interest in speaking of his experiences in the war - yet he finds himself confiding in the captivating Lady Blanchette. It's a pity that she won't confide in him - for he is certain that she is troubled, and all is not as it seems. He has the unpleasant suspicion that her troubles are caused by the dashing rake, Mr James Blackwood.

Can Henry help her, or is a duel of honour the only solution? Can Blanchette save her reputation, and still have the man that she has come to love? Or will her moment of irresponsible passion doom her to ruin?

Anna Perkins needed her job, as a maid at Havisham Hall, home of the Earl of Stanningfield, to survive, but one small accident was enough to put everything at risk, including her heart. Spilling a tray of jellies all over a member of the aristocracy was definitely not what she had set out to do! The fact that the gentleman in question was kind to her, and was, in addition, quite the most handsome man that she had ever met, was more difficult to deal with than cruelty might have been.

Richard Maitland, Viscount Bellham, was instantly captivated by the beautiful maid he collided with in the corridor, jellies notwithstanding. Something about her fascinated him, and raised his desire, in a way that the husband hunting young ladies of the aristocracy did not. A rather annoying thing for him to discover, given that dallying with the lower classes was not on his agenda, and might even get him disinherited, should his family discover it.

But love and desire have no respect for “how things should be”, and, sometimes, fate intervenes with an unexpected outcome…..

Three great Regency Historical Romance stories in one volume! ***FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED***
These hot Regency romances will keep you turning the page! These are the 4th, 5th and 6th stories in the Derbyshire set series.

The Count’s Impetuous Seduction
A dashing Count, a beautiful maiden, a handsome Marquess, a mysterious woman, a love that defies all challenges. Lady Charlotte Cavendish had eagerly awaited her sister’s wedding - for her own reasons.... Don Diego Sanchez-Zapata, Count of San Pedro, who Charlotte had been desperately longing for, from the moment that she first met him, was unfortunately late arriving at the wedding. A fact that Charlotte could only see as abandonment, especially as, when he eventually did arrive, it was with an unexplained, beautiful Spanish lady in his retinue. The handsome and very eligible Marquess Hemsbridge, however, was very much present at the wedding festivities, and more than willing to distract the delectable Lady Charlotte from her disappointment. Which left Lady Charlotte in the enviable (or perhaps, unenviable ?) position of having to choose between two very different men, both of whom caused her heart to beat faster just by looking at her. Resulting in improper behavior and moments of desperate despair, as well as ecstatic love. Can Charlotte achieve a happy ending? or will she make the wrong choice...

The Rake’s Unlikely Redemption
A Rake, a Lady, old heartbreak and despair, an unexpected meeting, a second chance for love. Mr James Blackwood, although heir to a Viscount, after years cultivating his reputation as a rake, gambler, and exotic world traveler, finds himself less and less happy with his life - not that he could admit that to anyone... Lady Honour Northbrook, Baroness Fotherington, now widowed, and disappointed with her life, is convincing herself that she is content... A chance meeting brings them together, and eleven years of heartbreak and bitterness are not enough to dim their passionate reactions to each other. Can they ever trust each other, and love again?

The Marquess’ Scandalous Mistress
A scandalous woman, a handsome Marquess, a passionate affair, a scoundrel, a legal complication, a final chance for love. Lady Amelia Duckington is the scandal of the ton - a married woman, blatantly carrying on multiple affairs, and with a very sharp edged tongue. Inside, she despairs - surrounded by shallow dandies, her life has become an endless toil of boredom - yet she knows no other way to go on. Sterling Asterwood, Marquess Hemsbridge, is equally bored - faced with the need to marry, and get an heir, he yet finds the parade of eligible young women insipid and unbearable. The only woman who is at all interesting has one, unfortunate, characteristic - she is already married! Can Sterling and Amelia find happiness, and still be true to their duty? Or will a scoundrel take everything they both care about?

Olivia Asterwood, Marchioness of Hemsbridge, is two years widowed, and focusing all of her energies on finding a wife for her son. Until, that is, she meets a scholar with as much of an obsession for the history of the great families as she has. Edward Greenidge, third son of a Viscount, has spent his life as a scholar of genealogy. Burying himself in his research has seemed the safest path, after his one venture into marriage failed disastrously. A widower, he expects to spend the rest of his life in libraries, in the company of books. But fate has other plans. When they meet, common interest paves the path to intense and unexpected attraction and together they discover secrets long held, which will change both of their lives.

A Viscount who avoids society, a young lady followed by rumours, a suitor with selfish intentions, scandal narrowly averted, a rescue, a passionate love. Ignatius (Nash) Harringdon, Viscount Challoner, prefers the country to London, and poring over estate books to attending Balls. When his brother’s oldest friend marries, he finds himself in London, and when he meets Miss Wormsley, his perception of society women is turned on its head. But that is not enough to make him forget the past, and the fact that love and passion only lead to pain. So… why is he staying in London, longer than he had planned? Miss Beatrice Wormsley is glad that her sister has found happiness, but she begins to wonder if she will ever find love herself. It is clear that the gossip that has followed her since childhood has found its way into the drawing rooms of the ton. As a result, she cannot expect any titled man to want her – but that does not stop her from foolishly hoping, building dreams on the fact that Lord Challoner actually talks to her, and treats her as intelligent. But when circumstance takes Nash out of London, and Bea finds herself with a noble suitor, she must resign herself to the fact that dreams rarely come true. Or do they? Will Nash return in time to save Bea from a trap set to compromise her? Will they each find the courage to admit their feelings? Or will their sense of duty drive them apart?
