regency

Another great story by Diane Gaston.  This story is about a Marquess helping a woman run away from the law.  A hangman's noose awaits them both if they are caught. 

Great page turner. 

Zachary Bronson has built an empire of wealth and power, but all London knows is that he is not a gentleman. He needs a wife to secure his position in society-and to warm his bed in private. But one alluring, unexpected kiss from Lady Holland Taylor awakens a powerful need within him beyond respectability.

On the eve of her wedding to Michael Trent, the Earl of Westhampton,
Rachel Aincourt tried to elope with another man-only to be
unceremoniously returned to her fiancé by her strong-willed
father. Burdened by guilt and shame, Rachel felt she'd gotten what
she deserved: a loveless marriage to a cold, enigmatic husband. She
was wrong

With his life in ruins, Richard, Duke of Cleybourne, returned to his
country estate to deal with the tragic loss he had suffered four
years earlier. His plans, however, were interrupted by the arrival of
Miss Jessica Maitland. The feisty flame-haired governess had come to
present her charge, Gabriella, as his new ward.

The next book I post will be the second in this series. I'm still playing catch up here.

This was a great page turner for me.  Mary Nichols drew me right into the plight of the heroine.
