Description
1.) I'll simply take you in her place." Georgina's mouth fell open. "What on earth do you mean?" "I mean," William replied patiently, "that you're a member of the female sex and that's all I need to come with me to the Far East as my wife." "You're mad!" she gasped in utter disbelief. But, unfortunately, William was not mad--only very determined. Rejected at the last moment by Georgina's somewhat capricious sister, he meant every single word!
2.) When Rachel accepted the job of looking after the small orphaned boy, Nicholas, she took to her little charge immediately. But her new job was, it soon appeared, not going to be all plain sailing. There were problems and there were mysteries... It was Nicholas's enigmatic uncle, Neil Brett, and his attractive cousin, Lars Bergen, who were to prove the biggest problems in her new life. Did it all go back to the beautiful Lynn, Nicholas's mother, about whose death there still seemed to be a mystery? And how, in any case did any of it concern Rachel?
3.) Maxwell was smart, she must be smarter! Admittedly, Alexa arrived at the Scottish Highlands croft without much previous information. But she had heard about Fergus. Fergus had helped her cousin Angus, who had left her his home. But the proud, vital man she met there bore no resemblance to the elderly transient she had imagined.Unfortunately, she fell in love with him before she discovered who he really was--Maxwell, owner of nearby Glenaird, who wanted her land. He'd stop at nothing to get it!
