About this ebook
A Cornish woman auctioned off to pay her husband’s debts soon finds herself at the manor of an enigmatic widower in this gripping Regency romance.
A Bartered Lady
Lord James Harkness is shocked to discover a “bride sale” taking place in his small English village—and surprised by the depth of his feelings for the unfortunate gentlewoman being auctioned off by a disreputable husband. But is it honor and nobility that compel James to outbid the townfolk for the proud, beautiful lady—or is it something more akin to . . . desire?
A Mysterious Lord
Verity Osborne is not sure whether good fortune or ill brought her to this dark, brooding man and his lonely manor house on the moors. Local talk brands James Harkness as evil—but Verity senses a gentleness underneath. She dearly longs for her liberty, but his sensuous touch causes her to stay. However, James must first trust Verity with his secrets if they are ever to share love’s rapturous freedom. And will the promised passion she sees flaming in his eyes warm Verity’s heart . . . or burn her?

A great story with unexpected turns that kept me glued! I only wished that there had been one last " clear the air" conversation with the mother in law. it's obvious there was some reconciliation, but I would have liked to read it, just for me to have closure..ooh and also to know what had become of that seemingly bad character that kept showing up, though at the end he never caused any harm...those 2 elements were loose ends for me. over all a great read!
