     Many a meddling matron would delight in making a match between her daughter and George Winterbrook, Earl of Weymouth. But winning the dashing peer over proves frustrating at best. Few people know that the proud earl is an incurable romantic determined to marry for love or not at all. Then an eccentric divorcee kidnaps him and nearly blackmails him into a false marriage--until fate offers him a breathtaking savior.
     Beth Castleton is practical to a fault. She believes herself too old, too American, and too serious for the merry and gossiping ton. Stranger still, she's not at all certain that she even wants to marry. But when happenstance brings the dashing Earl of Weymouth into her life, she lets her heart guide her to a love she has never imagined.

After his ill-fated first marriage, he wondered if he was doomed to live alone. But three generations of Winterbrooks have recognized their loves at first sight--and now David knows that this is the beauty he's been searching for.
     Madeline Graves's experience with gentlemen leaves little to recommend them. Certainly none of them has ever gone of his way to assist her--and the thought of being subjected to the whims of any man is too much to bear.

But how can Madeline be sure of his sincerity...or believe that he could ever love her back?

   There is one woman who piques his interest: Lady Deborah Woodhurst, who might just possess the generous heart he desires. The problem is that Lady Deborah's scheming identical twin, Lady Diana, has far more self-serving motives in mind. Can Michael prove to Deborah that true love sees through all stratagems?
