Book excerpt: Fortune hunters and fools. Those are the gentlemen Fanny Rivers has endured since her husband’s passing. Men who believe women too feeble-brained to manage a fortune, much less help it grow. So for her sister’s upcoming wedding festivities, she’s combined her business acumen with her habit of collecting strays—hiring an actor to play her besotted beau. And it’s working marvelously. Too marvelously. Before long, her attraction to Jeremy makes it difficult to discern fact from fiction, and Fanny herself is in danger of falling for her own scheme. Jeremy Dawes can scarcely believe his luck when Fanny Rivers agrees to be his patroness. Despite learning he’s the latest in a long line of charity cases, he willingly takes on the most complicated role of his fledgling career—that of a proper gentleman. She’ll never need know of his unsavory beginnings, though the closer they become, the more Jeremy wishes he could be what she deserves. It’s only after a thrilling moment of intimacy—and a regrettable decision by Fanny—that Jeremy finds unexpected allies in the negotiation for his savvy lady’s heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly returned from India, Miss Cecilia Worth, who has been dubbed “Miss Disaster” by the gossips, needs a husband. Or rather, her guardian, Lord Marshfield, believes she absolutely requires one. Cecy, however, strongly disagrees. Still, she is willing to humor her guardian and venture to London to participate in the Marriage Mart - so long as she is able to choose the man she will eventually marry. The last thing Lord Trenton Pike wants is to be called home from the Continent to play chaperone to his uncle’s ward, Miss Worth. Unfortunately, he also doesn’t have a choice in the matter. Escorting Cecy about London, Trent would be only too happy to foist her off upon the first man who would take her – except that doing so would break his uncle’s heart. As Trent trails Cecy around London, however, he comes to see that she is not the walking disaster he assumed she was. In fact, she’s far more than what he or anyone else sees. They just don’t bother to look closely. Can Trent find Cecy a husband by the end of the Season, one who can see her for the wonderful woman she truly is? And more importantly, can he keep her out of his bed until that mystery man finally appears to sweep her away to wedded bliss? This 99,000 word novel is written in the modern, Regency romance style for a slightly hotter and sexier read. It may not be appropriate for younger audiences.

Download or read book The Ladies Repository written by and published by . This book was released on 1872 with total page 1008 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of this women's magazine originated with Samuel Williams, a Cincinnati Methodist, who thought that Christian women needed a magazine less worldly than Godey's Lady's Book and Snowden's Lady's Companion. Written largely by ministers, this exceptionally well-printed little magazine contained well-written essays of a moral character, plenty of poetry, articles on historical and scientific matters, and book reviews. Among western writers were Alice Cary, who contributed over a hundred sketches and poems, her sister Phoebe Cary, Otway Curry, Moncure D. Conway, and Joshua R. Giddings; and New England contributors included Mrs. Lydia Sigourney, Hannah F. Gould, and Julia C.R Dorr. By 1851, each issue published a peice of music and two steel plates, usually landscapes or portraits. When Davis E. Clark took over the editorship in 1853, the magazine became brighter and attained a circulation of 40,000. Unlike his predecessors, Clark included fictional pieces and made the Repository a magazine for the whole family. After the war it began to decline and in 1876 was replaced by the National Repository. The Ladies' Repository was an excellent representative of the Methodist mind and heart. Its essays, sketches, and poems, its good steel engravings, and its moral tone gave it a charm all its own. -- Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900.
