Lady Chloe had nowhere to turn...either she followed her guardian's dictates and married a wholly detestable suitor or she settled for the comfortable love of a sensible man. Faced with a bleak future on either front, Chloe settled for Mr Safe and Sensible.

It wasn't until her so–called 'safe' choice tried to compromise her reputation that Brandt, Lord Salcombe, rushed in to save her.

Lord Rotham's Wager

Lord Jack Rotham was not a betting man when it came to marriage. But when his great–uncle's will ordered Jack to marry, a bride by wager seemed the logical solution. And so Jack picked the winning wife out of a lottery. However, fate dealt him a cruel hand, for his new bride was the woman who'd left him brokenhearted to marry another man!

Claire Ellison had suffered a miserable marriage and didn't want to repeat the experience, particularly to a man who wasn't sure whether he hated her – or loved her! But when a devious element threatened their new marriage, could Claire finally fight for the man she'd always loved?
