About the author

Doris Emily Hendrickson lives in Reno, Nevada, with her husband, a retired airline pilot. Of all the many places she has traveled around the world, England is her favorite, and the most natural choice as the setting for her novels. In addition to her Regency romances, she has written a Regency Reference Book.

She is also the recipient of the Romantic Times award for the Best Regency of 1993 for Elizabeth's Rake and the Colorado Romance Writers 1997 Award of Excellence for The Debonair Duke. She is a nominee for the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award for Regency Romance.

Emily also enjoys stamps and stamping, and several of her flower designs, originally created for bookmarks for her Regencies, have been made into stamps.

Many of my books were re-published in England by Robert Hale Publishing House of London. My publisher requested that I use three pseudonyms for my English hard cover books. I chose the names: Emily Hendrickson, Emily Johnson, and Emily Harland.

meh, the premise is interesting, i could see the character's frustration


val wakes up to the Town thinking he has a mistress with twins. The boy looks exactly like Val when he was younger (but they are in fact children of his cousin Lord Warrington) The girl looks like the supposed mistress, Phoebe, who is in fact cousins with Lady Warrington. They were brought into town by Val's aunt Lady Latham, in the hopes he marries Phoebe. Though they both try to fight it, they end up falling for each other

Beautiful young miss escorts young twins around London but speaks to no one. One twin looks decidedly like Lord Latham and because of that he sets out to take her down? So silly. Not sure why she would love him at all!

Had to finish this in one night, nicely done variation on a theme! The switching up of the roles of the protagonist/antagonist in the main couple lent a tension to the story that frustrates the reader yet keeps them reading to find out what happens next.

This was a very amusing story. The kids were cute!
