RESISTING THE ROGUISH CAPTAIN
Part of Brides for Sworn Bachelors
By Lauri Robinson
(Victorian)
Lady Meridith Downs longs to be married. She’s just determined it won’t be to any of the “suitable” (read: stifling) suitors her family have picked out! True love should feel like an adventure, and Meridith would rather be a spinster than settle for less. 
Enter Captain Drake Taylor. More at home at sea than in Society, Drake’s roguish reputation should send any sensible lady running. Instead, his teasing charm awakens desires Meridith can’t ignore. But actually falling for a man who won’t be tied down might be an adventure too far…

THE VISCOUNT’S DOLLAR PRINCESS
By Carol Arens
(Gilded Age)
Lilleth Younger never imagined marrying a British nobleman she’d never met, but that’s exactly what the American heiress must do to satisfy her father’s dying wish. After rural Connecticut, arriving in riotous New York to take her vows is a shock—as is her new husband, the brooding Viscount Abberly! He’s seriously opposed to romance, but soon begins to open up under her sunny charm. Lilleth is irresistibly drawn to the compassionate man beneath the reserved facade. But having discovered all he has sacrificed to wed her, dare she hope that their marriage could ever be more than convenient?
