‎Helene‎

‎Beautiful, fair-haired Helene Ambel was the hit of the London season, the epitome of a refined young heiress. But she preferred books, horses, and intellectual pursuits to the dances, parties, and simpering, overdressed, foolish men she could not take seriously. Helene was hungry for adventure. She found it by helping her friends Juliet and Nicholas, who wanted to marry. Juliet's mother preferred the smooth-talking earl as a match for her daughter. And though Nicholas adored Juliet, he had his own reasons for hesitating to make her his wife. Helene was drawn into the dark intrigue that threatened to separate Nicholas and Juliet forever--the same intrigue, that had touched Helene's maid's sister. Then Helene met the handsome Captain Longford. His interest in helping the star-crossed lovers made him very attractive to Helene.... Book‎

‎Edition originale de cette importante source pour l'histoire de la Régence, publiée avec une introduction et des notes par Emile Campardon. Ecrivain à la bibliothèque du roi, J. Buvat consigne les affaires politiques, les intrigues de la cour, les relations entre les nobles et les hommes de pouvoir, et des anecdotes relatives à l'actualité de l'époque. — "Longtemps, le Journal de la Régence a été distingué des autres chroniques contemporaines du fait du statut social de son auteur. Ce dernier, simple copiste à la Bibliothèque du Roi, se démarque en effet de ses collègues mémorialistes Barbier et Marais, tous deux avocats au Parlement. Cependant, la spécificité de son ouvrage tient surtout à la nature de son contenu qui ne correspond guère à la définition littéraire du journal. En effet, contrairement aux productions de Marais et de Barbier, le Journal de la Régence n'est pas un écrit intime, destiné tout au plus à un cercle restreint de familiers. Conçu comme un produit éditorial, il fut présenté par Buvat lui-même tantôt comme un « mélange », tantôt comme une « collection » visant à « rapporter tout ce qui s'est passé de plus considérable chaque jour ou à peu près ». S'interdisant toute appréciation personnelle sur les événements, ce dernier ne revendiqua d'ailleurs pas la qualité d'écrivain, mais celle, plus modeste, de « collecteur ». C'est ce rôle de second plan que s'attribue Buvat qui le distingue des autres chroniqueurs qui, eux, écrivirent au jour le jour pour exprimer et fixer les réflexions que leur inspiraient les « affaires du temps »..."

‎Married young to a charming but improvident army officer, Eve Hawthorne was widowed with little left except for a few extravagant trifles. Desperate to avoid her domineering stepmother, she accepts employment as chaperone to the Earl of Stewkesbury's American cousins.

But when she flirts with a handsome stranger who turns out to be the earl's brother Fitz, Eve worries she's given the wrong impression. Trying to prove herself responsible - with Fitz challenging her at every turn - is hard enough, but a blackmailer with an interest in Eve's prior marriage proves far more troubling. With the earl away, Eve can turn only to Fitz for help. But dare she confide in him, when getting too close to this confirmed bachelor might risk her heart to his alluring ways? Book‎
