The Gryphon
The Rake's Wrongdoing: Two Wrongs Make a Marriage / No Occupation for a Lady
Two Wrongs Make A Marriage by Christine Merrill
Lord Kenton is surprisingly happy to be lured to a moonlit gazebo, held at gun point by the delectable Cynthia Banester and forced to marry her. The only finger he's had to lift is the one that's caressed the neckline of her dress. She's claimed a title, he's secured a fortune. There's just one problem - he's not the real Lord Kenton, and she's not rich!
Bound by their own deceptions, Cynthia and Jack decide to make the best of a bad deal. They may not have two coins to rub together, but consummating their vows proves deliciously satisfying...
No Occupation For A Lady by Gail Whitiker
Meeting Alistair Devlin, London's most eligible bachelor, causes Victoria Bretton no end of problems. Masking her attraction is even more difficult than concealing her alter ego - playwright Valentine Lawe - not to mention his unsettling gaze is causing her writer's block!
Alistair's not in the market for love...but he can't help but be beguiled by Victoria and intrigued by the secrets she's hiding. As they grow closer, the lines between fact and fiction become blurred. Can she be the heroine of her very own happy ending?

About the author
Christine Merrill
242 books215 followersChristine Merrill has wanted to be an author for as long as she can remember. But one thing stood in her way: touch typing.
Six weeks spent on an IBM Selectric in her Sophomore year of high school proved that she would never be able to produce one readable page of manuscript, much less several hundred.
Twenty years passed, and she found ways to pass the time: marrying her high school sweetheart; having two sons; and taking an assortment of jobs in professional theater costume shops, including a miserable year and a half spent styling wigs for a certain hamburger-selling clown (who shall remain nameless, since I don't want to incur the wrath of a major American corporation) and a couple of weeks working on a TV movie with one of the sexiest men alive (whose name I'm happy to drop: Mark Harmon!).
During that time, someone invented word processing, and a reliable spell checker.
Christine returned to her childhood dream, only to discover that there was more to the whole writing thing than accurate typing. The next years were spent learning to tell stories that people might want to read, and trying to find someone who wanted to buy them. Her chance came when she won the RWA's Golden Heart Competition for unpublished manuscripts. The winning story, soon to be known as THE INCONVENIENT DUCHESS, was bought by the contest judges, the delightful editors at Mills & Boon, in Richmond, Surrey.
Christine is now busy writing her fifth book, and is more than slightly jealous that her manuscripts get to visit England, while she stays home in Wisconsin
