A duo of sparkling Regency romances from beloved bestselling author Jane Ashford.

The Reluctant Rake: Miss Julia Devere is shocked when she spies her fiancé in the arms of another woman. She awakens to the fact that the game of love can be played by very different rules than her own. And unless she can beat this new mistress at her own game, Julia stands to lose all that she suddenly realises she wants.

How to Beguile a Baron: Miss Susan Wyndham's and Miss Marianne MacClain's debut at the first ball of the season is ruined when they realise they're wearing the same gown— and enamured of the same gentleman. Randal Kenyon, Baron Ellerton, is the most eligible lord in London. And far from making peace, he sparks a battle between the pair of dazzling young beauties who now want only him.

About the Author

Jane Ashford discovered Georgette Heyer in junior high school and was captivated by the glittering world and witty language of Regency England. That delight was part of what led her to study English literature and travel widely. She's written historical and contemporary romances, and her books have been published all over Europe as well as in the United States.

Jane has been nominated for a Career Achievement Award by RT Book Reviews.
