Mary Balogh presents two of her classic Regency-era romancesâseductive tales of ladies who are running away from love . . . and rogues who enjoy the chase.
A COUNTERFEIT BETROTHAL
Lady Sophia Bryant has no intention of marrying anytime soon. Her one desire is to reunite her parents, who have been estranged for fourteen years. Surely, if she happens to announce her betrothalâeven a false oneâthey will be forced to see each other. Devilishly handsome Lord Francis Sutton seems perfect for such deceit, always agreeable to games of passion in which he has nothing to lose. The trap is setâif only Lady Sophia can keep her foolish heart from falling prey to her brilliant snares.
THE NOTORIOUS RAKE
Lord Edmund Waite is everything that Lady Mary Gregg despises: lewd, lascivious, mockingâthe most incorrigible and successful rogue around. A bluestocking like her would never tempt a man whose taste runs to pretty playthingsâso Mary is startled to find herself the object of Lord Edmundâs desires. Even more surprising is her reaction to his shocking advances. She may be a lady, but this man knows so well how to make her feel like a woman.

Traditional Regency romance fans will be thrilled with this pair of classics from one of the most beloved authors of the genre. A noblewoman entices an aristocratic rogue into a fake betrothal in hopes that her estranged parents will reconcile in the charming double tale A Counterfeit Betrothal, while a frightened young widow reacts passionately during a thunderstorm and becomes the object of pursuit by The Notorious Rake. Loosely linked (the heroine in Rake had formed a close friendship with the earl in Betrothal), this pair is a natural for libraries with Regency or sweet historical romance readers.
