From USA Today Bestselling Author May McGoldrick… Three poignant stories of emotion, hope, and forever love—a duke and a Highland heiress, a prince and a pauper, and a woman of courage fighting life’s twists of fate. Love and laughter abound in this heartwarming collection of Regency tales from a beloved author of historical romance. DEAREST MILLIE Lady Millie’s future looks bright until fate deals her a tragic hand in the form of cancer. Dermot McKendry is a former surgeon in the Royal Navy who has returned to open a hospital in the Highlands. Providence brings them together, but life’s calamities will sorely test the healing power of the human heart. HOW TO DITCH A DUKE Lady Taylor Fleming is an heiress with a suitor on her tail. Her step-by-step plan to ditch him is simple. But there is nothing simple about Franz Aurech, Duke of Bamberg. Taylor tries to escape to sanctuary in the Highlands, but her plans become complicated when the duke arrives at her door and her loyal allies desert her. And even with the best laid plans, things can go awry… A PRINCE IN THE PANTRY A reversal of her family’s fortune has left Pearl Smith penniless and working as a seamstress for a former friend. Prince Timour Mirza is in England on a diplomatic mission to choose a wife, but he longs for one night of freedom. Trading his clothes and his position with a companion, he escapes the masquerade ball. When Pearl also flees the West End mansion, their paths cross. A future together is impossible, but beneath a full moon they find that love can come when it’s least expected.
