IN THIS BATTLE OF WITS
Lady Lucy Upton’s tongue may be too sharp
to attract suitors but her heart is good and when her painfully shy friend
Cassandra needs help she devises a brilliant scheme to help her discourage an
unwanted suitor, the Duke of Claringdon. Lucy will hide behind the hedgerow and
tell Cass just what to say to discourage the Duke of Claringdon…but it turns
out that he’s made of sterner stuff than either of them anticipated. And Lucy
is shocked to discover that tangling with the tenacious man is the most fun
she’s had in ages.
KISSES ARE THE BEST WEAPON
Lord Derek Hunt made a promise to his dying
friend to marry the demure Cassandra, and for a man who wants nothing more than
peace and quiet after the horrors of war, she’ll make the perfect bride. If
only the impudent Miss Upton will let him court the girl! Doing battle is the
last thing on his mind, but bantering with Lucy behind the bushes is too
tempting to resist. And the spoils of this war just may be true love…
