His Lady Peregrine (11 page)

Love Birds of Regent’s
Park

Lucy Ashbrook finds a pleasant diversion
when she visits the Regent's Park Bird Sanctuary to sketch the
different birds that live there. Birds aren't the only pleasing
things she finds, though. A certain Sanctuary worker, Oliver
Barrow, has stolen her heart. But Lucy's father will have none of
it. No daughter of his will marry a common laborer.

Oliver Barrow loves everything about his
work at the Sanctuary. The birds, the trees, the ponds... a certain
young miss who mesmerizes him. Miss Ashbrook is beautiful and sweet
and shares his love of birds. But Oliver has a secret that just
might get in the way of anything more than friendship developing
between them. And he can't share that secret with her. Not yet.

How can Lucy convince her father of Oliver's
worth? That love isn't just for the birds?

The Unwanted
Earl

Amelia Talbot has been issued a death
sentence. At least it feels that way. The thought of marrying a man
old enough to be her grandfather sends her into a panic. So much so
that she sets off on a desperate search to find another man to
marry her — quickly.

Conrad Croome, the Fifth Earl of Lofton,
knows all too well that blackmail isn’t the way to form a marriage.
How ironic that one Amelia Talbot uses a Croome family secret he’d
thought long buried to force him to marry her.

Is Conrad doomed to a life of marriage based
on an exposed secret, or could Amelia learn to love an unwanted
earl?

A Courtship for
Cecilia

Cecilia Fletcher yearns for true love with
the man of her heart. A life of her own away from her demanding
mother would be an added benefit. But in order to do that, Cecilia
must live a lie, making it necessary to use a false name in order
to hide a family secret.

Barrington Radcliff was betrayed by a woman
who he thought loved him. Because of that, trust is hard to
willingly give. When he meets pretty Cecilia Fleming, his heart
wants to give her a chance. Something about her doesn’t ring true,
but Barrington allows love to overrule his good judgment.

Can Cecilia and Barrington get past their
hurt and secrets long enough to find true love?

About the Author

Bestselling author Ruth J. Hartman spends
her days herding cats and her nights spinning sweet romantic tales
that make you smile, giggle, or laugh out loud. She, her husband,
and their three cats love to spend time curled up in their
recliners watching old Cary Grant movies. Well, the cats, Maxwell,
Roxy, and Remmie, sit in the people's recliners. Not that the cats
couldn't get their own furniture. They just choose to shed on
someone else's. You know how selfish those little furry creatures
can be.

Ruth, a left-handed, cat-herding, Jeep
driving, farmhouse-dwelling romance writer uses her goofy sense of
humor as she writes tales of lovable, klutzy women and the men who
adore them. Ruth's husband and best friend, Garry, reads her
manuscripts, rolls his eyes at her weird story ideas, and loves her
in spite of her penchant for insisting all of her books have at
least one cat in them. Or twelve. But hey, who's counting?
