Marry In Haste and Francesca's Rake
by Lynn Kerstan
Together for the first time, these two Regency classics star heroines taking high-stakes gambles on love, never knowing if they'll end up losing their hearts—or winning the love of their lives.
Marry in Haste (originally published in by Ivy Books September 1998)
WHILE ESCAPING ONE SCANDAL—SHE CRASHES INTO A NEW ONE!
When trespassing on a lavish estate, Diana Whitney strikes Colonel Alex Valliant squarely on the head with a frying pan. Rather than see the pretty interloper fall into disgrace, the love-struck soldier asks for her hand. But Diana refuses to march quietly to the altar—and rejects the colonel's offer.
But when Diana's uncle threatens to marry her off to a man she finds completely inappropriate, she accepts Alex's hasty proposal. However, Diana soon must make a bold gamble based on the calling of her heart—and engage in a battle for a future founded love. . . .
Francesca's Rake (originally published in by Ivy Books May 1997)
HE PLANS TO WOO, WIN, AND WED THE MOST UNSUITABLE BRIDE HE CAN FIND!
Though she possessed a vast inheritance at age one-and-thirty, Francesca was taller than most men and better educated. If all that failed to spook a potential suitor, her illegitimate birth to an Italian commoner would do the trick.
She was perfect! Viscount Clayburn, the most notorious rake in London, spent his whole life rebelling against his manipulative father. Now, to thwart a plot to marry him off to an heiress of prime farmland, he found a woman unacceptable to his father . . . but most pleasing to himself.
Though she had no intention of succumbing to the seduction of this silver-eyed devil, Francesca was aware of an amusing fact: The rake had no idea he was trying to seduce the very woman his father wished him to marry!
