Lord Dearborn's Destiny

All four of Brenda Hiatt's acclaimed "Saint of Seven Dials" books in one volume!

Includes:

ROGUE'S HONOR
A duke’s daughter disguises herself as a maid to avoid a marriage that would snatch away her inheritance. She is nearly discovered but is rescued from certain social disaster by a seeming servant who is in fact the legendary Regency Robin Hood, the Saint of Seven Dials. Love is the last thing either of them needs just now, but when was love ever wise?

NOBLE DECEPTIONS
An American shipping heiress and the new Saint of Seven Dials (who just happens to be a duke’s younger son) find themselves trapped into a marriage neither wants. They soon discover a powerful attraction between them, but even as passion turns to love, both are hiding secret identities that could lead to arrest if discovered. If they can admit to their growing love and trust each other with the truth, it could lead to a lifetime of happiness—or to disaster.

INNOCENT PASSIONS
Former spy Noel Paxton takes on the role of the Saint of Seven Dials to hunt down a deadly traitor. He finds himself distracted in his quest by studious and opinionated Rowena Riverstone, newly arrived in London. But is Rowena the innocent bluestocking she appears, or the very traitor he’s been seeking? And which is in more danger–his heart or his life?

SAINTLY SINS
After the last Saint retires, a penniless beauty assumes the identity of the Saint of Seven Dials in order to rescue her young brother from the streets. Lord Peter Northrup is both smitten and intrigued by the lovely Sarah Killian, but when he digs beneath the surface, he learns she has a secret that could ruin them both. But perhaps love is worth the risk…

They've never seen a lady make him smile…

They've never seen Viscount Greythorpe listen so intently when a lady speaks. To have caught the eye of this esteemed gentleman, Miss Annis Milbank must be a lady of rare quality indeed!

The beautiful, headstrong Annis is innocent to the world, and much more interested in solving the problems of others-the question of who she herself might marry has never been foremost in her mind.

With a wry smile tugging at the corners of his lips, the aloof, distinguished Viscount Greythorpe is confident that she will be his….

She galloped into his life...and touched his heart.

Tessa Seaton has a special gift with horses; with a word and a touch, she can tame and train even the most unbroken and unmannerly of beasts. But when handsome Lord Anthony Northrup gallops into her life, she finds herself faced with a far greater challenge than any horse ever posed.

Anthony first assumes Tessa is helping her unscrupulous uncle to sell half-broken horses to unsuspecting gentlemen, but as he comes to know her, he realizes she is motivated by love--for her crippled father and for the horses she trains. Charmed by her spirit and independence, Anthony determines to free her from the trap her uncle has woven so that he can claim her for himself.

Loosely linkd to Brenda Hiatt's "Saint of Seven Dials" series, this book was originally published under the title Taming Tessa.

Wanted: One Wife

Why does Anton, Lord Raith, need to advertise for a wife? As she walks down the marriage aisle toward this stranger, Rosina Charlton feels her pulse race at the very question. But the truth is revealed as her new husband turns to face her-a cruel scar disfigures Anton's otherwise handsome features. He believes no woman of social standing would ever agree to marry a man like him, so he's convinced penniless, orphaned Rosina to become his bride. Can Rosina change the mind of this embittered man who wants a marriage based on convenience alone…?

A Marriage of Inconvenience?

Dina's only chance to keep her inheritance from going to pay her brother's gaming debts is to marry before her twenty-fifth birthday. When her carefully planned elopement goes awry, in desperation she travels to Gretna Green alone. There, she finds herself rescuing a naive young lady from a fortune hunter, which earns the gratitude of the young lady's handsome--and eligible--brother, who has come in hot pursuit. When he asks her to name her reward, she has her answer ready.

Grant Turpin, better known to his friends as Thor, is grateful to the girl who saved his sister's honor, but is stunned when she demands marriage in repayment of his debt to her. She insists she will not infringe on his freedom in the least, but the more time he spends with her, the less attractive that freedom appears. Instead, he becomes increasingly determined to win her heart along with her hand. Surely spending Christmas with her at his parents' estate will help him to do just that?

So Lizzie is shocked when Oliver promises to show her pleasure she never imagined… Yet she doesn't expect more than a brief dalliance. For Oliver is destined for a match of importance and wealth, neither of which Lizzie can offer….

First impressions can be most deceiving!
 
Under the tutelage of her strict father, then that of an equally strict husband twice her age, Nessa, Lady Haughton, has been trained all her life to be a model of English propriety and virtue. But beneath the inexperienced young widow's oh-so-prim exterior, she craves a taste of the wickedness she has always been denied. Now that she is finally free, she intends to satisfy that craving!
 
Notorious rakehell and war hero Jack Ashecroft finds himself unexpectedly elevated to Marquis of Foxhaven. But to claim the fortune that goes with the title, Jack must renounce his wild ways and establish himself as a respectable member of Society. The surest, quickest path, he is certain, will be to find and wed a woman beyond reproach—if one will have him.
 
When Jack and Nessa meet, each thinks the other is exactly the ticket to the changes they are seeking. Sparks will fly when they discover each other's true goals—especially if it's already too late to turn back!
 

Lady Diana Westover is looking for a hero. She intends to write a gothic novel, but having grown up shielded from the ways of the ton, she knows nothing about men. What better way than to explore the ballrooms of Society? During her first outing, she sees Edmond Terrington, Viscount Adderley. With his dark handsome looks, he is exactly the man she's been looking for. So Diana sets out to follow his every move, to study his manly form, and to experience the pleasure of his kisses . . . all for the sake of research.

Edmond cannot imagine why this chit would be following him, spying on his every move, and looking at him as if he is a fascinating bug in a science experiment. He's used to admiring females, but this is ridiculous! So he decides to turn the tables and pursue her instead . . . only to find that she is a disarming beauty whose wit matches his own. Soon all he wants is to be the hero of her dreams.
