Regency Mischief: Secret Heiress / Bartered Bride
Secret Heiress
With his handsome good looks and rakish reputation, Lord Daniel Seaton is a draw for any eligible young misses. But much to the disgust of every other woman, Eliza Bancroft is the lucky lady's companion who has caught his eye.
Eliza would dearly love to succumb to Daniel's flirtations, but propriety stops her. She is illegitimate - hardly an ideal wife for Daniel! But the temptation is too much to bear...
Bartered Bride
Her hand in marriage traded in a game of cards, innocent Lottie is completely out of her depth engaged to Lord Rothsay. Not only is he a womaniser, he also knows that Lottie isn't the woman he'd agreed to marry!
Rothsay should have no qualms about ending this folly of a betrothal - especially when he learns he has been deceived. But sweet-natured Lottie has got under his skin and suddenly he wants to turn his fiancee into a wife for real!

About the author
Anne Herries
284 books66 followersLINDA SOLE also writes under the names of Anne Herries, Emma Quincey, Lynn Granville and one as Juliana Linden.
Linda was born in Swindon. Her family moved to Ely in Cambridgeshire when she was nine, and Linda attended the local school but left at fifteen to work as a hairdresser in her father's business. She was married at eighteen and ran her own hairdressing business for some years before moving to Cambridge, although Linda has now moved to somewhere a bit quieter in Cambridgeshire. She started writing in 1976, combining this with helping her husband to run his antique shop.
Writing as Anne Herries, Linda won the 2004 RNA Romance Award and the Betty Neels Trophy. She lives in Cambridgeshire. After many happy years of taking their holidays in Spain she and her husband, now have a second home in Norfolk. Being only a short drive, they can visit for a few days at a time, which suits their busy lifestyle these days. They are only just across the road from the sea, and can see it from their windows. At home and at the sea they enjoy watching the wildlife and have many visitors to their gardens, particularly squirrels. Anne loves watching their antics and spoils both them and her birds shamelessly. She also loves to see the flocks of geese and other birds flying in over the sea during the autumn, to winter in the milder climes of this country. Anne loves to write about the beauty of nature and sometimes puts a little into her books, though they are mostly about love and romance. She writes for her own enjoyment and to give pleasure to her readers.

A totally unremarkable story told in a dull monotone. Nothing ever excites the reader in the story, though there is plenty of scope for drama and intrigue in a historical romance. But here the author just goes on and on in documentary style.
A good girl heroine, orphaned because of being a love child of some regency folks. Brought up by a parson and his wife. Adoptive parents die, girl finds employment as a companion. Surprise, surprise with her birth mother. Then she makes acquaintance with an aristocrat , the hero. Again, no fire power in the romance, just gradual growth from acquaintance, to friendship to offering marriage. Even the so called villain in the end is tackled by the heroine herself !!! Whatever are heroes for then ?!?@!@?
Nothing much worth mentioning happens. The love child becomes the much loved child of the real parents. Hero marries her, and then she gets bestowed with all the inheritances from dead aunts, uncles and what not! Silly , pointless story really.
