PHILIPPA 5/1979 ISBN:0446846643 Regency. The delightful dilemma of a lady divided: her hand promised to one man and her heart lost to another.... "I shall marry the Earl of Carlington," Philippa Winslow declared. If she had to marry for money, and Philippa knew she must, then it was fortunate that such an honorable member of the House of Lords was courting her. It was easy to promise to "honor and obey" a man she so respected. It would be difficult, though, to forget that the man she did love and did not respect would be her brother-in-law.

The very popular Lady Judith had never disobeyed her stern, powerful guardian, Sir Henry Somerset, before. So why was she now thinking of risking her reputation to trifle with a rascal lord? And why was this bawdy rakehell suddenly so intent on seducing her? Did he mean to win her away from her fiance, the duke, just for the sport of it? Or was he offering a delicious, defiant love no obedient lady would dare accept - and no passionate woman would ever, ever refuse.....

Why did his very presence set her blood racing and her limbs trembling, blinding her to everything but an irresistible desire to taste his salt-kissed lips and drown in the depths of his stormy passion?

And, suddenly finding herself wed to a man she hadn't even met, Christine found herself questioning her goals.

With theories as to the location of 221B Baker Street, the person of the King of Bohemia, the dating of The Hound of the Baskervilles, and other matters long debated by Holmes experts, this volume will prove to be invaluable to all students of the Great Detective.
