Book excerpt: Everyone knows that a happy marriage begins with a lot of money and one good lie… When Benjamin Preston falls in love with Lady Lydia Deveraux at first sight, his family thinks this is the start of yet another of his failed courtships. Benjamin is almost as surprised as they are when Lydia encourages his attention and even agrees to marry him. His family suspects she is after his newly-inherited ten thousand pounds, but Benjamin holds out hope that at last he has found his true love. Lydia can’t help finding Benjamin attractive. After all, he is handsome, kind, and compassionate. But her heart belongs to Ireland - and to an Irish rebel who died for the cause of freedom. Now Lydia is determined to marry for wealth and political influence so she can help free Ireland from Britain’s rule. Even if that means trapping Benjamin in a loveless marriage. As their courtship progresses, Lydia and Benjamin find themselves caught in a web of lies, plots, and unquenchable lust. The only question is: can they help Ireland without breaking each other’s hearts? This latest installment of The Prestons from award-winning author Katherine Grant works as a standalone or a continuation of the series.

READER REVIEW - “This story is a masterpiece at developing the main character from a naive debutant to a mature, self-aware woman. This is one of those books that I highly recommend reading in one sitting. I loved being able to lose myself in the story.” NEW YEAR’S MASQUERADE New Year’s Eve, 1810 Bernard Talbot, Earl of Gresham, is ready to take the next step: make Miss Lisbeth Dawes his countess and continue the Gresham legacy. Then, just in time for the New Year’s masquerade ball, Annabelle returns. Annabelle is Bernard’s first and only love, lost to the Duke of Surrey seven years ago. Now she is widowed and hoping to step back into Bernard’s life. With just one night left before his wedding, Bernard must decide whether to honor duty or follow his heart. READER REVIEW - “If you love swoon-worthy historicals and second chance romances, this is your golden ticket!” THE DUCHESS WAGER January 1811 The duke accepts a wager Fitz, the Duke of Harrodshire, views marriage as a business arrangement, not a question of the heart. Especially once he bets his friends that he won’t marry the next woman he fancies. He knows it will be an easy win - until they take refuge from a snowstorm at Bleneccle Manor and he meets Lady Margot Wickham. A widow in mourning At her parents’ home in Northern England to recover from her husband’s sudden death, Lady Margot Wickham isn’t sure she’ll ever be ready to face the duties of being a Dowager Countess. When unexpected travelers show up in a snowstorm, Margot is grateful for the distraction. Until she realizes she might be too distracted by a certain duke. Duty calls When Margot gets notice of unrest at her husband’s cotton mill, she realizes she can put off duty no longer. Alarmed, Fitz volunteers to accompany her south. He plans to help her resolve the issue - but the road trip is a convenient excuse to stay close, too. READER REVIEW - “Five Stars - Must Read! A charming and quick Regency romance abut a woman not only finding love, but confidence in herself.” THE HUSBAND PLOT WHAT COULD GO WRONG WHEN YOU MARRY A PERFECT STRANGER? Lisbeth Dawes would rather not end up a spinster. After her first fiance leaves her at the altar, she agrees to marry Adrian Hathorne sight-unseen. She doesn’t expect much from her new husband, since he plans to leave for Jamaica within the year, but she does hope for friendship and freedom to pursue her own interests. Adrian Hathorne wants to be above reproach. He doesn’t indulge in any of the usual gentlemanly pursuits, nor does he chase after any women. When his father writes from Jamaica with instructions to marry as soon as possible, he does as asked. It is only after the wedding that he realizes he doesn’t really know how to be a husband - especially not to a bluestocking wife with so many of her own ideas. Divorce is not an option - which means Lisbeth and Adrian need to find common ground before their marriage of convenience goes up in smoke. Just when they have discovered they don’t disagree with each other over everything, another letter arrives from Jamaica with news neither of them expected. News that will test every aspect of their fledgling marriage. READER REVIEW - “This book was absolutely amazing, the characters, their love story, the values they shared. It’s an absolute must-read for anyone who loves historical romance and has been wanting some more inclusive books in terms of race and sexual orientation.” Grab the complete Countess Chronicles series now!

Download or read book The Anglo American Ballad written by Dianne Dugaw and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1995. This book’s collection of key essays presents a coherent overview of touchstone statements and issues in the study of Anglo-American popular ballad traditions and suggests ways this panoramic view affords us a look at Euro-American scholarship’s questions, concerns and methods. The study of ballads in English began early in the eighteenth century with Joseph Addison’s discussions which marked the onset of an aesthetic and scholarly interest in popular traditions. Therefore the collection begins with him and then chronologically includes scholars whose views mark pivotal moments which taken together tell a story that does not emerge through an examination of the ballads themselves. The book addresses debates in tradition, orality, performance and community as well as national genealogies and connections to contexts. Each selected piece is pre-empted by an introductory section on its importance and relevance.
