Stephanie Laurens - Tangled Reins


"Stephanie Laurens Heroines are marvellous tributes to Georgette Heyer......."   -  Cathy kelly


 The Reasons For  Marriage 

Miss Lenore Lester was perfectly content with her quiet country life, caring for her father, and having no desire for marriage. She took steps to remain inconspicuous when managing her brothers' house parties and tried her best to show indifference - but to no avail! The notoriously charming Jason Montgomery - Duke of Eversleigh - could easily see behind Miss Lenore's brilliant disguise and clearly signalled his interest.Though Lenore hid behind glasses and pulled-back hair, she couldn't disguise her beauty. However, she remained determined not to be thrown off balance by this charming rake. Duke Eversleigh though, was equally determined to loosen the hold Lenore had on her heart.  

 An Unwilling Conquest 

 This book presents all the glitter and passion of Regency times through the lives and romantic escapades of the Lester Family.Having seen his sister Lenore and brother Jack caught in Parsons' mousetrap, albeit willingly, Harry Lester had no intention of following their example. Now the news was out that the Lester family fortunes had been repaired, Harry knew the society matrons would soon be in pursuit, so he promptly left London for Newmarket.Fate, however, proved more far-sighted, having arranged for a distraction in the person of Mrs Lucinda Babbacombe. Lucinda is a beautiful, provocative but unwilling conquest - who to Harry's irritation cannot be ignored.

A Comfortable  Wife

 This title presents all the glitter and passion of Regency times through the lives and romantic escapades of the Lester Family.Miss Antonia Mannering was not going to dwindle into becoming an old maid! She and Lord Philip Ruthven had been childhood friends who had not seen each other for years.

But is Philip ready to set up his nursery...with Antonia as his wife?

 A lady of  Expectations

  Jack Lester had every reason to hide the news of his recently acquired fortune: he wanted an attractive, capable bride who would accept him for himself, not for his newfound riches. An impossible task given the debutantes he had seen over the past few seasons!Yet it was essential that he make his choice before the society matrons discovered the Lester family were no longer as poor as church mice. He had to convince Sophie, the woman of his dreams, to marry him as poor Jack Lester. For if he told her the truth, how could he be certain of her motives

 

 Tangled  Reins

 From the sparkling ballrooms of Regency London to the wealthy glamour of the country house - let Stephanie Laurens be your guide! Content with her humdrum country life, Miss Dorothea Darent had no intention of marrying. She knew that her unfashionable curves and her outspoken ways made her a disastrous match for any gentleman of the ton. But one kiss from a dashing stranger changed everything. Gossips said that the scandalous Marquis of Hazelmere would never choose a bride. But when he encountered Dorothea, he was entranced by her innocence. He didn't expect Dorothea's unconventional sweetness and charm to take the glittering world of the Regency by storm. The lady was surrounded by suitors - and now the confirmed rake must fight for his beautiful prize!

Fair Juno

From the sparkling ballrooms of Regency London to the wealthy glamour of the country house - let Stephanie Laurens be your guide! Kidnapped in the small hours, Miss Helen Walford had spent the day being battered and jostled, tied and gagged, trussed and trapped in a worn-out chaise. She was rescued by the infamous Martin Willisden - a rakehell who had been banished to the army, now scandalously raised to the rank of Earl of Merton! To add insult to injury, the proper Miss Walford had been forced into a compromising situation with her wicked saviour. Her only defence lay in anonymity. But captured by her beauty and bravery, the Earl of Merton knew that he had to find his mysterious lady.

Four in Hand

From the sparkling ballrooms of Regency London to the wealthy glamour of the country house - let Stephanie Laurens be your guide! Max Rotherbridge had unexpectedly inherited a title and estates that were more of a burden than a blessing. But he hadn't bargained on inheriting the wardship of four beautiful and spirited young ladies. He certainly hadn't expected to behold the embodiment of all his dreams in the lovely Miss Caroline Twinning, oldest of his wards. Society was stunned when the Duke of Twyford introduced four beautiful debutantes to the ton. The wicked duke was more likely to seduce the innocent than protect them! As the Season continued, Max guarded his protegees like a hawk, fending off his fellow rakehells. But one by one, the most confirmed bachelors fell at the feet of the Twinning sisters. And Max knew that he couldn't long escape his destiny - marriage to Miss Caroline Twinning!

Impetuous Innocent

From the sparkling ballrooms of Regency London to the wealthy glamour of the country house - let Stephanie Laurens be your guide! Miss Georgiana Hartley, orphaned and alone, returned home to England - only to be confronted with the boorish advances of her cousin. Knowing no-one, she fled to Lord Alton's estate, hoping that the lady of the house would rescue her - but Dominic, Lord Alton, was unmarried! Georgiana could not, with propriety, remain under his roof. She begged him to help her find a suitable position as a lady's companion, or a governess. The scandalous viscount heard Georgiana's request with barely-concealed disgust. The very idea was preposterous. Instead, he introduced Georgiana to his sister's influence. Suddenly, Georgiana was transformed into a lady, charming the ton and cultivating a bevy of suitors. Everything was going to Dominic's plan - until he realised that he wanted Georgiana for his own.
