Three of my best-selling Regency romance stories! Delightful romances full of emotion, drama, action, plot twists, and of course, love! A Lady's Fairytale Come True Olivia Digby grew up in disbelief of the existence of true love and has always wondered if she would ever meet her own Prince Charming. Everything changes though when a wealthy heiress mysteriously calls her to her mansion with a unique request... to help her impolite grandson, Nathaniel Norton. Nathaniel is a young Earl, who is more interested in studying medicine than marrying a girl of good family and class. When he hears his grandmother’s plan to unite him with a young woman he has never heard of, he will not sit by idly. Despite all odds though, Olivia and Nathaniel will take advantage of the chance to approach each other and their love will start blooming in a way they never thought it would. But when a long-kept secret is revealed, will their emotions be strong enough to survive it? Or will their class differences eventually stand in the way of a great love? A Guardian Angel for the Lonely Lady Alicia has never believed life had great thrills for her, until she falls victim to a robbery attack and is rescued by the most handsome man she has ever seen. However, this tempting gentleman, Duncan, has lost, not only his wife, but his hope for love too…The last thing he ever expected was that this flaming Lady could be the one to make his heart flutter again. But what will he do when Alicia’s fiancé shows up under his roof? Will he back down once again and let the only chance of loving again fly away? Sometimes a seemingly random robbery may not be that random and a dark secret from the past may be behind it... How far is Duncan willing to go in order to prove that he is not there just to save Alicia’s life, but to capture her heart as well? The Precious Secret of a Loving Governess Victoria Jamison is a woman who knows the benefits of wealth and society. However, after her family’s fall from grace, she is forced to work as a governess. When she is hired by a charming Earl, Reginald Fairfax, she strives to win his daughter’s affinity, but she is soon to discover a terrible secret; Reginald is haunted by the death of his late wife and the engagement to a woman he does not love. As if that wasn’t enough, she will eventually realise that his inner conflict only deepens, as he is falling in love with her. When their paths cross, Victoria realises that the secret she’s uncovered is so strong that it could bring them together or separate them forever. Will their love overcome society’s expectations?
