MY FAIR LORD 6/2000 ISBN: 0786500158 Dear Reader: I own that I've fallen in love with my new husband! And I knew very well I shouldn't. Though handsome and charming in a rakish way, Lucas Davin is a cutpurse from one of the worst criminal districts in London. I married him in a desperate attempt to keep my inheritance. No gentleman of quality would have me, you see, because my estate is haunted by Lord Barrett Hamilton- 200-year-old ghost. I never believed the ghost existed until I saw Lucas suddenly transform into the very likeness of a gentleman- even a Lord! Is it possible, Gentle Reader, that he has been possessed by the ghost of Lord Hamilton? If so, should I have the ghost exorcised? If I do, then Lucas will return to his old life of thievery, and I will never see him again. If I don't, his very life may be in danger! Please respond quickly, for my heart aches with the sweetest and most unladylike passion. I will manage as best I can until I receive good tidings and advice from you!

FOREVER IN TIME 9/1990 ISBN:0821731297 Modern woman. Erika Van Hamel had been living alone on the tiny British island for two years when a stranger identifying himself as Gilbert Randall washed up after a boating accident. Although he was strikingly handsome, he wasn't exactly her type. Not only did her 'you Tarzan, me Jane' line fall flat, but he was one of those chauvinist men who pretend to have no idea how to work a microwave or a can opener. His idea of a joke was to scare the daylights out of her by insisting the year was 1812. Yet when she found him examining her painstakingly recreated models of the Napoleonic battles, a part of her wanted to believe his crazy story; wanted to believe that he rally was from regency England, that she had finally met the kind of romantic hero she had thought only existed in books. Romantic Hero. Gilbert Randall, viscount Bedford, stared with dismay at the tiny painted soldiers. He could vouch for the accuracy of the battles prior to 1812. But as for the battles after 1812...it was quite clear from those scenes that the outcome of the war depended on information Gilbert carried - only he was no longer there to provide it. He was here, in the future, in the company of a woman who thought nothing of entertaining a man alone in her house or of flaunting her considerable charms in the revealing clothes of a man. Unfortunately he needed this lovely woman's help in returning to his own time if he was to keep history from being irrevocably altered. And that meant taking her with him, although he hated to think of the havoc Miss Van Hamel would cause in regency England - and in his own heart.

A LADY'S CHAMPION 4/1994 ISBN:0821745352 Miss Daphne had always considered herself a logical sort of person, so she greeted the notion of ghosts haunting the Selwood Academy for Young Ladies with a large amount of skepticism. However, her position as art mistress at the Academy would be jeopardized if such rumors frightened off potential students-a prospect she most passionately wished to avoid. Thus it was that she found herself turning to Mr. Adrian Carstairs, sent by her uncle to act as her 'protector' against the 'ghosts.' Daphne would brook no interference in her life, but she would accept the aid of a strong, brave, and handsome gentleman in exposing any spectral spirits.

A LOGICAL LADY 1991 ISBN:0821732773 A Singular Sensation. Miss Elizabeth Carstairs, in the ordinary way of things, was a level-headed young lady, not given to flights of romantic foolishness. But when Mr. Frederick Ashfield arrived at Halliford Castle, after two years on the Continent, Lizzie's heart started a most alarming flutter that showed no signs of abating. What had been a schoolgirl's companionable liking had turned into something quite, quite different...But there was no time to ponder this shocking development, for things were in a dreadful state. Frederick had come straight from the Grange, his ancestral home, where he had visited-and quarreled with-his cousin, Viscount St. Vincent. And shortly after Frederick's abrupt departure, the Viscount had been discovered stabbed to death...A Desperate Gamble. Frederick, having inherited the title, repaired to the Grange with Lizzie and the Duke and Duchess of Halliford. At the scene of the heinous crime, Lizzie provoked Frederick's lazy smile-and something more-as the young beauty's endeavors revealed an abundance of suspects, but a dismaying dearth of clues.

A TIMELY AFFAIR 1990 ISBN:0821729306 The vacation in London was exactly what Andrea Wells needed. Restless with her life back in Minneapolis, disillusioned with her fiance, she found herself drawn to the sites of her favorite reading: Regency romance. As she gazed at where Almack's or White's used to be, and strolled along Rotten Row in Hyde Park, she could almost imagine herself transported back 180 years to an age of elegant balls, routs, and soirees. And as she stared up at the portrait of Richard Westmont that hung in Greythorne Court, Andrea felt a shock of recognition so intense that she forgot everything, except that she had to go back, back to Regency England, back to a man she somehow knew she was destined to love. 1810 Richard, Viscount Grantham, was more than a little intrigued with this "cousin from America" who had turned up on his doorstep. He was hard pressed to keep his hands off her. But the mysterious Miss Wells had a few preposterous notions, no doubt picked up in the savage wilds of America. Such as expecting him to treat her as his equal.
