A LADY NO MORE 7/1987 ISBN: 0446344540 From the top of her glossy dark curls to the tips of her dainty kid slippers, Eugenia Wolverton was every inch a lady. But when her disreputable cousin threatened to take over the family estate, she set propriety aside to go to America to find her brother Edward, the rightful heir. It was a determined Eugenia who boarded the S.S. Cormorant and accepted the help of its captain, a good friend of her uncle, in her search. But enlisting the tall, blond, easygoing American's aid would prove risky indeed, for while he openly mocked her aristocratic airs and graces with impudent wit, his solid strength filled her with inexplicable longing. To her dismay, Eugenia found herself falling in love with a ruggedly attractive seaman, and an American at that!
RACING HEARTS 10/1988 ISBN: 0446351601 Charlotte Deane was furious. Even if Kevin Marlowe was rather distinguished looking, and even if his passion for raising horses matched her own, the Englishman was nothing but an arrogant and class-conscious blue blood. He had come to her farm to voice disapproval--for all the wrong reasons--over the growing affection between his brother Tony and her sister. It was Kevin's plan to restore his wealthy family's tarnished name by having his irresistibly gallant brother marry a woman of high estate, a condition that excluded every American woman on earth, including Charlotte and her sister. Utterly incensed, Charlotte returned to New York for the remainder of the social season, ready to put Kevin in his place. How could she know that she would soon yearn to share that place, and her heart, with him?

THE AMERICAN DUCHESS 12/1982 ISBN: 0451119185 Young and lovely Tracy Bodmin was as spirited and independent as the America she came from--but love for her father made her yield to his heart's desire.

Thus it was that Tracy voyaged full-sail into the world of the aristocracy as wife to one of its most splendid lords. Behind she left Adam Lancaster, the handsome, rugged New Englander who adored her. Ahead lay fear and danger in the arms of a powerful, magnetic man whose mode of life and love she did not know... What was she doing here? What was Tracy doing in this huge mansion whose rooms she could not count and whose hallways were a bewildering maze? What was she doing surrounded by servants who seemed determined not to let her lift a finger whether she wanted to or not? What was she doing in the company of lords and ladies whose venomous gossip and razor-edged wit might well have been in a foreign tongue for all she could join in with them? Above all, what was she doing as wife to the devilishly handsome and charming Duke who now waited for her in her bridal chamber? Clearly, Adrian, the Duke of Hastings, had a great deal to teach Tracy about being a Duchess -- and even more to learn if he didn't want a new American Revolution on his hands....

Because I am a young widow, this bequest has subjected me to a great deal of unpleasant gossip. Now I find that I am in the power of the most exciting man I have ever met, a man whose very presence makes me weak, a man who could very well be my ruination. Remember me in your prayers, as I shall need them. Mrs. Gail Saunders.

It was he who took her virtue by force, and left her threatened with disgrace. True, he now was willing to make amends by giving her his name in marriage. And equally true, she had no choice but to accept. But Catherine was sure that nothing in the world could erase her hatred for him or her horror of his embrace. Catherine was an innocent no longer -- yet she had so much to learn about love and the maddening deceptions of the heart... Marriage a la mode. By the standards of aristocratic London, the marriage between the Earl of Allandale and Catherine Renwick seemed the most perfect of pairings. After all, both of them each had the perfect partner. The Earl had ravishing, superbly sensual Lady Caroline Amberly not only as his mistress, but she was passionately in love with him. Catherine had her childhood sweetheart, Ian Maxwell, still totally enamored of her her and willing to devote himself to her happiness. What more could a married couple want? The answer came as a shock -- not only to Regency gossips, but to a husband and a wife fighting against their own uninvited desires...
