The Disdainful Marquis & The Abandoned Bride
Two novels bound as one both by Edith Layton
ISBN: 0451206282 Signet
The
Disdainful Marquis
Miss Catherine Robins takes a position as companion to the Dowager Duchess
of Crewe little suspecting she will have to please the gentlemen who surround
her new employer - especially the infinitely attractive and thoroughly notorious
Marquis of Bessacarr. This proper young lady has to fight not only the marquis's
audacious advances but her own unsettling responses if she hopes to prove
her love is more precious than his gold.
The Abandoned Bride
Abandoned by the man she eloped with, Julia Hastings has her virtue intact,
but her reputation among the ton is in tatters. Determined to defend herself
against rogues who consider her easy prey, Julia vows to trust no man -
even devastatingly handsome Lord Nicholas Daventry. But if Julia has learned
how dangerous blissful ignorance is in matters of the heart, she has yet
to discover what folly it is to be too wise.
