A Legend To Love Series

A determined governess, a reluctant bridegroom, and a winter's journey from London to Cheshire…   Reputed to be the most exacting governess in England, Miss Elegy Perkins has cared for Lady Margaret, the spoiled daughter of the Marquess of Braemar, for twelve interminable years. Then she receives a life-changing offer that would bring her a prize of 5000 pounds and the chance at financial freedom. All she must do is find and escort Lady Margaret's reluctant bridegroom to his wedding. A simple enough task, until she meets the bridegroom in question.   Major Lord Devlin St. George has very little control of his life. For the past sixteen months he has done his utmost to avoid contracts, signed when he was a child, to leg-shackle him to the daughter of a wealthy marquess. Evading the efforts of his betrothed's brothers to drag him to the altar, Devlin has successfully missed three wedding dates so far. The only thing that stands between him and missing a fourth is a pistol-wielding, strait-laced governess. A lady who is far more woman than she dares reveal.

The Earldom of Rothgard has a long and storied history of strength, wealth, and integrity. But the death of the current matriarch hits everyone hard – most especially the Earl – and he tumbles into a mourning so intense his life becomes lost in a shroud of grief. His eldest daughter, Lady Isobel, steps up to lead the family while her brother attends university and her younger sisters continue to experience a childhood of some normalcy. Finding weaknesses in all Lady Isobel establishes to protect her family, an enemy seizes an opportunity to launch financial and personal attacks. When treading water in the mess only yields an overwhelming sense of imminent drowning, she is forced to seek aid—the fate of her family depends upon it. Help arrives in the form of a confident, handsome gentleman seemingly suited more for the ballroom than the battlefield. The Duke of Conall, the 'Wulf of the North,' is an enigma in bespoke boots and tailored jackets. Yet behind the facade of cultivated ennui and charm beats the heart of a warrior—one who quickly recognizes the enemy tormenting the Rothgard family. The Duke comes prepared to fight...but did he also come prepared for love?

His enemies called him the devil. Hers call her a temptress. Can they see past the rumors to find true love?   There were few people in the world the Duke of Rhuddlan could trust, least of all his scheming brother Nicholas. So when a spate of violence is perpetrated against people with a connection to the duke, Rhuddlan knows who is behind it. But how can he end this vicious campaign when Nick is backed by the King's own son?   Olivia Stone wants nothing more than to live quietly in her little cottage, but with a cruel suitor determined to possess her and an income that is steadily diminishing, she's left with no choice but to appeal to her wealthy cousin—whom she's never met—for assistance. Will he give it? Or will she be forced to marry a man she fears?   When Rhuddlan knocks on Olivia's door with a plan to help them both, she's skeptical but sees no other option. Working together sparks a flame between them neither could have predicted, but when Nick discovers the relationship, he becomes determined to destroy their hope for happiness. Can Rhuddlan finally put an end to his brother's devastation before someone is killed? Will Olivia still want him when she sees how ruthless he can be?   This medium (3-4 hour read) novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.
