Once a Mistress

2001

What’s a gentleman to do when he inherits a title, a fortune…and a mistress? When legendary lover, the Marquess of Templeston, dies in the arms of his mistress, he charges his son and heir Drew Ramsey with the future care of all of his mistresses. Determined to honor the outrageous request, Drew returns home to bury his father and is stunned to find living on the grounds of Swanslea Park the one woman whose charms he could never resist. Kathryn Stafford abandoned Drew at the altar six years before and vanished in a cloud of mystery. She had hoped her feelings for him would fade, but when she comes face-to-face with the gorgeous new marquess, she discovers they have only deepened. Drew is determined to keep his distance from the woman he believes to have been one of his father’s mistress. But every yearning glance and sizzling touch draws him closer to Kathryn…and to the scandalous secret that drove them apart.

Always a Lady

2002

When Kit Ramsey arrives in Inismon, Ireland, to lay claim to his inheritance, he realizes the townspeople of this tiny, impoverished village are convinced that he is the miracle they've been praying for. But Kit—the natural son of George Ramsey, the fifteenth marquess of Templeton—isn't interested in being anybody's hero. All he wants is the chance to become his own man. But inheritances come with responsibility, and Kit quickly learns that his new title of earl of Kilgannon comes with plenty of strings attached—including the guardianship of Mariah Shaughnessy, the beautiful baker of Inismorn . . . the beautiful baker whom he must teach how to be a proper lady. Fresh out of a convent, Mariah knows that, with Lord Ramsey's deep pockets, he is Inismorn's last hope for survival. She accepts Kit lessons in social graces—not because she wants to become the perfect gentleman's wife—but because she dreams of becoming the love of Kit Ramsey's life.

Rebecca Hagan Lee has had many different jobs, earning her beads of experience on the necklace of life with each one, but her desire to write was constant. After graduating from college, she set out to make her mark in the world of television journalism, but somewhere along the way, she decided she was a small town girl at heart and settled in a town where the media consisted of a weekly newspaper and an AM radio station. Seeking a creative outlet, she turned to writing romance and began to write stories far different from those in the world of television news, but not that far removed from the hundreds of episodes of Daniel Boone, Big Valley, Gunsmoke and Bonanza she had watched growing up. She decided to create stories where good guys win, bad guys lose, prostitutes have hearts of gold and the heroes and heroines who fall in love and persevere are richly rewarded with incredibly bright futures and happy endings. In her world, heroines don't die or get killed off to make way for the next episode's new love interest. Her heroines get their men and help them become ideal husbands, lovers, friends and fathers. Rebecca lives in a small southern town with her husband, a miniature schnauzer, two rat terriers, a half dozen barn cats, and two extraordinary horses. She is currently seated at the computer working hard to make her dreams come true, or riding off with her hero into the sunset. . .
