Heirs of the Aristocracy

'Tis the season for falling snow and falling stars...but falling in love? George Viscount Hexham, is quite literally thunderstruck when he meets Lady Anne in the park, and he can't get her off his mind. Her brother, Gabe, is happy to act as a matchmaker, never once mentioning he might already be acting on behalf of the other side. Can two who are so perfectly matched end up married before Anne must endure her first Season in London? Meanwhile, when a neighbor appears to be spying on George's twin sister through the telescope in his garden observatory, an incensed Lady Angelica is determined to give him a piece of her mind. Sir Benjamin may end up with her heart as well, as mistletoe and moonlight work their magic in The Angel of an Astronomer.

Sometimes the perfect person is right under your nose! In his new position as an archivist at the British Museum, Gabe Wellingham is intrigued by the prickly potter who restores Ancient Greek pottery for display. He is sure there's more to Frances Longworth than anyone suspects. Meanwhile, banker James Burroughs returns to London takes a room at nearby estate, drawn by the promise of peace and quiet. His hostess, Emily Grandby, is quiet-and quietly working her way into his every thought. These two bachelors are about to learn that sometimes the perfect person is right under your nose in The Puzzle of a Bastard.

A new year, a new acquaintance... why does everyone think she's the one? Following in his father's footsteps, Thomas Grandby has made a name for himself in the world of investing and wealth. He's managed to avoid the Marriage Mart-for the most part-but constant reminders of his age have him thinking 1839 might be the year he takes a bride. If only Lady Victoria seemed as interested in him as she is in her horses. Her green eyes, jet-black hair, perfect bum, and slight limp have him positively mesmerized. Meanwhile, when Christopher, Earl of Haddon, nearly impales Juliet Comber with his foil and then falls and bumps his head, he insists she take revenge on his person. Her punch to his gut has him doubling-over-and falling heels-over-head in love with her. She has no interest in marrying him, though. Doesn't he know his age and reputation as a pompous ass are a suitor's least attractive traits? These bachelors are about to learn they don't have much of a chance when they try to come between and a girl and her horse... or do they?
