Book excerpt: In this "exquisite gem from a master" of Regency Romance, one duke's plan to find a bride makes for a most entertaining house party (Library Journal). Julian St. David, Duke of Haverford, is barely keeping his head above water in a sea of inherited debts. Though he has a long-term plan to restore the family finances, his sister has a much faster solution: host a house party for London's single young ladies and find Julian a wealthy bride. Elizabeth Windham has no interest in marriage, but a recent scandal has forced her hand. As much as she'd rather be reading Shakespeare than husband-hunting, she has to admit she's impressed by Julian's protective instincts, broad shoulders, and, of course, his vast library. As the two spend more time together, their attraction is overwhelming, unexpected... and absolutely impossible. With meddling siblings, the threat of financial ruin, and gossips lurking behind every potted palm, will they find true love or true disaster?

Book excerpt: The battle to determine the next laird comes down to this fierce moment...the Oliphant brothers sitting around, drinking ale, while their wives go into labor. After finishing his studies to become a doctor, Graham followed the woman he loved to Oliphant Castle and discovered-among other things-that he was not the fatherless, family-less bastard he'd always assumed. Well, he was still a bastard, but now he was an Oliphant bastard; he had father who loved him, and six brother who cared as fiercely as they fought. He'd found a home. And he might've been happy, had Davina MacKinnon been allowed to share it with him. But her grandfather has never seen him as good enough for her, or the future of the MacKinnon clan, and despite her sister's marriage to one of Graham's brothers, Davina was dragged away. But now she's returned to be with her sister during her confinement, and Graham-being a medical man-has been called back to Oliphant Castle as well, to help with all the bairns about to be born. Whichever Oliphant wife births the laird's first grandson will ensure her husband becomes the next laird, so the stakes are high...But none so high as Graham and Davina's. Between the bairns popping out left and right (seriously, this is getting ridiculous), they've got to find a way to convince her grandfather they deserve to be together. Luckily, there's a way to distract the old man, and the Ghostly Drummer of Oliphant Castle might just make a comeback...Warning: Contains anachronistic medical knowledge, rather a lot of madcap hijinks, a few really naughty bits, and more laugh-out-loud moments than you can shake a stick at, were you the kind to shake sticks at things.

Without an heir, he's gathered his sons--his six illegitimate sons, all born in the same year--and declared whoever presents him with a grandson first will become the next Highland laird.

You see, he's already chosen his wife: the vivacious and intelligent Fiona MacIan, whom he fell in love with last year. She's in love with him, so this whole "marriage ultimatum" thing should be easy-peasy. He'll invite her to the Oliphant keep with her brother the laird, in order to sign all the betrothal contracts, and Bam! Done! They can get on with the babies!Except...It's not that Fiona is getting cold feet, exactly. She's fairly certain she loves Finn. Mostly. Well, verra likely, at least.

There's plenty of naughty scenes, more than a few anachronistic jokes, and an embarrassing number of mistaken-identity gags. Only pick up this book if you have a sense of humor, please.
