The Misguided Matchmaker Nadine Miller (Signet Regency Romance 1997, po polsku:
Trzy pocałunki, Da Capo 1997)
Madelaine Harcourt knew right from wrong and good from bad -- and if she did not, her iron-willed father made sure she got the very best in life. He had the riches to buy her a title, and he had carefully chosen and cold-bloodedly purchased the perfect mate for her, the eminently suitable, thoroughly decent, and unfortunately impoverished Lord Garth Rand.
But when Garth's criminally handsome, dangerously charming, illegitimate half-brother Tristan came to fetch Madelaine back to England from France, her father's flawlessly laid plans began to go astray. Tristan did not try to deceive her. He made it clear he had known many women and was no stranger to scandal, and that he lived by his wits without wealth. It was easy for Madelaine to see how wrong it would be to give her heart to him -- and yet so hard not to do what felt so right....
The Secret Heart Erin Satie (2014) (czytałam, jest ok
)
She's a fortune-hunter. He's nobody's prey.
Adam, Earl of Bexley, lives to work. His only relief is the sordid savagery of bare-knuckle boxing. Not women, and definitely not a disreputable, scheming woman who dances in secret with such passion...
Caro Small is desperate to escape her selfish family. Her only chance is a good marriage, and she intends to marry Adam--whether he likes it or not. But the more she schemes to entrap him, the more she risks trapping her own heart.
Adam won't be caught by a fortune-hunter's ambitious schemes. But the vulnerable, passionate woman underneath the plots might just bring him to his knees.
I parę nieznanych mi bliżej staroci...
