PESTILENCE: All three books in one boxed set
The Second Wife Charlotte Wallis is thrilled to be married to the handsome and kind Robin, Earl of Eversley, even though he annulled his first marriage. Robin is earl only because his brother was declared dead, but titles mean little to Charlotte. She is in love and knowing he chose her only to provide a good mother to his damaged daughter does not diminish that love. Everything is perfect until Robin's brother returns to reclaim his estate and the King agrees with him.
Robin sets out to prepare his much smaller estate as a place to move his family, not knowing that the plague known as the Black Death is sweeping through the country and that he may never see his wife and children again.
The Scent of Roses Lady Felice Sutton marries Lord Christopher despite his fearsome reputation, to save her father from debt bondage. She knows half the county fear him, she knows he is ruthless enough to have buried his first wife in a pauper's grave. She fears him too, but she fears penury more. She is grateful and determined to make him a good wife, even if those rumours prove to be true. She is sure he must have some goodness in him and sets out to find it. But when he finds his peasant mistress dead and immediately suspects Felice of poisoning her, she discovers just how merciless he can be.
Will the devastation of the Black Death bring them together or will it be the end for them both?
Once Loved Rebecca was forced into prostitution when the man she loved took her eldest son and left her to fend for herself with another son not yet born. When the Black Death sweeps through the country, the ignorant townsfolk believe it to be a punishment from God for tolerating sinful people and they begin to look for someone to blame. It is not long before they decide it is Rebecca's profession and their tolerance of it that has brought the plague. Driven from her home with her now adult son, Simon, she eventually arrives at Waterford Castle, where she comes face to face with her past.

These 3 books were all very good. Again Brazear uses people you have read about in other of her stories. She never leaves just quits with a character, she follows on with their lives and it is always interesting. Like always I say read her books. You'll probably love then like I do.
