Do let me know at my web site,, or on my Facebook page. I hope you will enjoy this two-in-one offering. I am delighted that these two books are in print again, and I know many of you will be, too. I really enjoyed writing it as one of the romances, involving the daughter of the other main couple, is light and humorous, whereas that of her long-estranged parents, whom she has schemed to bring together again by faking an engagement to a young rake she has known since childhood, is far more seriously passionate. This story, also one of my favorites, is that rarity-a romance with two love stories of equal value. Mary was first mentioned in A Counterfeit Betrothal as the supposed mistress of the hero of that book, though in reality they were just friends. She spurns his attempts to woo her at the same time as her heart inexplicably yearns toward him. His heroine, Mary Gregg, Lady Mornington, is an intelligent, refined widow, apparently his polar opposite. Happily, Mary had nothing to fear from this lord of libertines. He was lewd, lascivious, mockingthe most notorious and successful rake in the realm. Now, more than twenty years later, you can fall in love with him all over again-or for the first time. The Lady and the Libertine Lord Edmund Waite was everything that Lady Mary Gregg despised in a man. It did not take me long to fall in love with him while I was creating him, and it did not take readers long to love him when they read his story. Edmond has earned his reputation, but he is also one of my most complex, troubled heroes. One of them, Lord Edmond Waite, appeared in an older book, The Notorious Rake, first published in 1992. When I ask people to name their favorites among the hundred or so heroes of my novels and novellas, certain names occur consistently.
