Viscount Blackwood left home amidst a blaze of scandal. Accused of killing his father and brother, Sebasitan was saved from the gallows by the testimony of a girl he'd never met...
Nine years later Sebastian can return from his exile, but the notorious viscount has unfinished business. It's lucky that Miss Isabel Mortimer is now both heart-stoppingly beautiful and has a penchant for sleuthing. Not only must Sebastian find the real culprit - it looks as if he'll find the perfect wife, too!
Betrayed And Betrothed
Poor Miss Abigail Graham had never felt so betrayed! Betrothed to her grandfather's godson, Mr Bartholomew Cavanagh, she had found him in a rather compromising position in the garden with another woman! Refusing to marry Bart has resulted in years of quarrel. And now Abbie's been packed off to Bath. Can things get any worse for the girl?
They can, and they do, when Bart joins their party. He's now six years older and a rather dashing gentleman to boot - it looks as if Abbie's grandfather is playing matchmaker again! Only this time it may just work, as mysterious goings-on push Abbie and Bart closer together. And soon they realise they cannot survive apart...

The second story with Bart and Abbie was better for me ❤️ Though I found it a bit disconcerting when the men would call their leading ladies ‘girl’- I found it a tad creepy. But I still love the happy endings 👍
