When he's asked to impersonate one half of a married couple to infiltrate Edinburgh society, he relishes the challenge of being "married" to the frustratingly willful yet beautiful Esme. Esme makes no bones about her fervent dislike of the dishonored rake. He's the last person on earth she can conceive of marrying, sham or otherwise. But being forced to play wife to the handsome-as-sin wastrel brings up very real feelings of desire.. Book

That was before she married Adrian. That was before he showed his true colors when he accused her of unfaithfulness and dragged her name through the mud of public scandal. That was before she fled to Italy with Adrian's best friend, Gareth Sherwood, who rescued her from the total ruin of her divorce by making her his wife. Now Joanna had returned to England as a ravishing young widow--only to find nothing had changed.Unfair scandal still shrouded her name--and impossible love still burned in her heart. Book

1989Well-bred orphan Cristabel Swann tolerates her thankless teaching job until her uncle dies unexpectedly. Arriving in London to claim her inheritance, Cristabel encounters something else entirely--a loutish naval captain who won all of the old man's property in an evening's gambling, leaving his niece nothing but debt! To his credit, Captain Chase recognizes her desperation and offers her a position as landlady of a "boarding house" in Kensington. Cristabel is happy with her new situation and with the female tenants of the house. They are exceedingly well dressed for working-class girls and have many admirers. Cristabel soon has a beau of her own--the dashing Lord Winstoke, who seems just a tad familiar, both in appearance and in attitude. Of course, Cristabel maintains propriety in every situation. But she cannot understand why the men she meets are so forward. Could it be the company she keeps? Book
2005If only he could go back in time. Then Ian, Earl of Marden, would not have dueled, and he would not have hit an innocent bystander -- a sickly lad, no less. And he certainly would never have brought the boy's sister, Athena Renslow, to stay at his house without a chaperone. On top of it all, the 19 year-old beauty is under the mistaken impression that Ian is the gentle hero who rescued her brother instead of the rogue who practically killed him. So in order to keep the Renslows' lives from getting any worse, Ian resolves to marry the girl. But Athena won't let the wealthy', handsome bachelor sacrifice everything for a country' nobody, despite the urgings of both their families--and their hearts Book

réf. 22357Letter: 'Weddnesday sic Morg.' 2 June 1819; from 8 Upper John Street Golden Square. Translations without date or place. Tabeeb was a fêted 'exotic' visitor to England at the end of the Regency period. In March 1819 the Asiatic Journal reported his presence in London and on 6 June four days after the present letter he breakfasted with the Irish poet Thomas Moore who reported in his diary that he was 'to take a Diploma of Doctor at Oxford this month'. In April 1820 a fine engraving of Tabeeb after a painting by John James Hall was published. In September 1820 the London magazine La Belle Assemblee printed a letter describing the English in complimentary terms written by 'Meerza Jiafer Tabeeb Persian physician who had been sent by his Royal Highness the Prince Abbas Mirza Bey Prince of Persia to this country to study the practice of physic and who has now returned to his own country'. Three items from an album compiled by Lady Ann Cullum 1807-1875 wife of Sir Thomas Gery Cullum 1777-1855 of Hardwick House. In the letter and calling card Tabeeb's name has a macron over the 'a' of 'Jiafer' LETTER: 1p 12mo. In fair condition lightly aged with wear at one corner and water staining at head with traces of mount adhering to reverse. The letter reads: 'Meerza Jiafer Tabeeb presents his respectful Compliments to Lady Cullum and is very sorry to say that he is obliged to attend Mr. Brande's lecture the celebrated chemist William Thomas Brande 1788-1866 at Royal Institution tomorrow morning at Nine Oclock therefore he begs to put off his breakfasting for some other morning.' TRANSLATIONS: 1p landscape 8vo. In fair condition aged with water staining to one corner. Folded three times. Addressed on reverse 'To Lady Cullum.' The only other writing on that side preceded by a small heart is 'Seeing Friends gives Brillany sic to the Eye'. The first of the quotations is preceded by an asterisk and the second by a cross suggesting that the Persian original may have originally accompanied them. The first reads: 'I saw my moon-like love in the garden: she was gathering roses. The thorn of the rose wounder her hands but she only laughed. I asked her the cause of her laughter: she replied “the rose cannot bear to see any thing superior to itself.' The second reads: 'O Beloved of my heart I cannot say whether you are the sea or the moon. Is it your face or a rose which I see: is it light which dazzles me or is it your neck.' CALLING CARD. 3.75 x 7.5 cm. Laid down on the last item beneath the second quotation. In fair condition with vertical fold line. The name 'Meerza Jiafer Tabeeb' engraved in copperplate and centred on the card. Beneath this at bottom left Tabeeb has written his signature in Persian script and at bottom-right he writes the address '30 Golden Sqr.' Letter: 'Weddnesday [sic] Morg.' [2 June 1819]; from 8 Upper John Street, Golden Square. Translations without date or place. unknown

2003Colonel Colin Mandland has wealth, power...everything but a bride. But although there is no mistress of his newly purchased manor, Maiden Hill, there is certainly a resident maiden: Lady Rosalyn Wellborne, a stubborn beauty who steadfastly refuses to leave the place she has always called home. Tantalizing Rosalyn proves to be far more difficult than any enemy he's ever met on the battlefield. She attacks by declaring Colin an upstart who is unfit for local society. He shockingly counters by offering for her hand in marriage - and she surprisingly accepts. Although this genteel lady has vowed never to succumb to unbridled passion, she quickly learns that theirs will be no marriage in-name-only, but rather a slow, sensuous and alarmingly effective seduction...that turns her world upside down.
