New York Times bestselling author Mary Blaogh presents the first historical romance in the Westcott series, where the death of an earl reveals a most scandalous secret.

Humphrey Westcott, Earl of Riverdale, has died, leaving behind a fortune that will forever alter the lives of everyone in his family—including the daughter no one knew he had...

Anna Snow grew up in an orphanage in Bath knowing nothing of the family she came from. Now she discovers that the late Earl of Riverdale was her father and that she has inherited his fortune. She is also overjoyed to learn she has siblings. However, they want nothing to do with her or her attempts to share her new wealth. But the new earl’s guardian is interested in Anna…

Avery Archer, Duke of Netherby, keeps others at a distance. Yet something prompts him to aid Anna in her transition from orphan to lady. As London society and her newfound relatives threaten to overwhelm Anna, Avery steps in to rescue her and finds himself vulnerable to feelings and desires he has hidden so well and for so long.

With her parent's marriage declared bigamous, Camille Westcott is now illegitimate and without a title. Looking to eschew the trappings of her old life, she leaves London to teach at the Bath orphanage where her newly-discovered half-sister lived. But

A very practical marriage makes Alexander Westcott question his heart in the latest Regency romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Someone to Hold.

When Alexander Westcott becomes the new Earl of Riverdale, he inherits a title he never wanted and a failing country estate he can’t afford. But he fully intends to do everything in his power to undo years of neglect and give the people who depend on him a better life...

A recluse for more than twenty years, Wren Heyden wants one thing out of life: marriage. With her vast fortune, she sets her sights on buying a husband. But when she makes the desperate—and oh-so-dashing—earl a startlingly unexpected proposal, Alex will only agree to a proper courtship, hoping for at least friendship and respect to develop between them. He is totally unprepared for the desire that overwhelms him when Wren finally lifts the veils that hide the secrets of her past...

Once the Countess of Riverdale, Viola Kingsley throws all caution to the wind when adventure calls in the form of a handsome aristocrat. . . .

Two years after the death of the Earl of Riverdale, his family has overcome the shame of being stripped of their titles and fortune--except for his onetime countess, Viola. With her children grown and herself no longer part of the social whirl of the ton, she is uncertain where to look for happiness--until quite by accident her path crosses once again with that of the Marquess of Dorchester, Marcel Lamarr.

Marcel Lamarr has been a notorious womanizer since the death of his wife nearly twenty years earlier. Viola caught his eye when she herself was a young mother, but she evaded his seduction at the time. A prize that eluded him before, she is all the more irresistible to him now although he is surprised to discover that she is as eager now for the excitement he offers as he is himself.

When the two defy convention and run away together, they discover that the ties of respectability are not so easily severed, and pleasure can ensnare you when you least expect it...

During a rare white Christmas at Brambledean Court, the widow Elizabeth, Lady Overfield, defies convention by falling in love with a younger man in this historical romance novel in the Westcott series.

After her husband's passing, Elizabeth Overfield decides that she must enter into another suitable marriage. That, however, is the last thing on her mind when she meets Colin Handrich, Lord Hodges, at the Westcott Christmas house party. She simply enjoys his company as they listen to carolers on Christmas Eve, walk home from church together on Christmas morning, and engage in a spirited snowball fight in the afternoon. Both are surprised when their sled topples them into a snowbank and they end up sharing an unexpected kiss. They know there is no question of any relationship between them, for she is nine years older than he.

They return to London the following Season, both committed to finding other, more suitable matches. Still they agree to share one waltz at each ball they attend. This innocuous agreement proves to be one that will topple their worlds, as each dance steadily ensnares them in a romance that forces the two to question what they are willing to sacrifice for love.

Abigail Westcott's dreams for her future were lost when her father died and she discovered her parents were not legally married. But now, six years later, she enjoys the independence a life without expectation provides a wealthy single woman. Indeed, she's grown confident enough to scold the careless servant chopping wood outside without his shirt on in the proximity of ladies.
But the man is not a servant. He is Gilbert Bennington, the lieutenant colonel and superior officer who has escorted her wounded brother Harry home from the wars with Napoleon. He's come to help his friend and junior officer recover, and he doesn't take lightly to being condescended to - secretly because of his own humble beginnings.
If at first these two seem to embody what the other most despises, they will soon discover how wrong first impressions can be. For behind the appearance of the once grand lady and once humble man are two people who share an understanding of what true honor means, and how only with it can one find love.

It’s never too late to fall in love in this enchanting new story, a novella in the Westcott series from New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh.

Matilda Westcott has spent her life tending to the needs of her mother, the Dowager Countess of Riverdale, never questioning the web of solitude she has spun herself. To Matilda, who considers herself an aging spinster daughter, marriage is laughable—love is a game for the young, after all. But her quiet, ordered life unravels when a dashing gentleman from her past reappears, threatening to charm his way into her heart yet again.

Charles Sawyer, Viscount Dirkson, does not expect to face Matilda Westcott thirty-six years after their failed romance. Moreover, he does not expect decades-old feelings to emerge at the very sight of her. When encountering Matilda at a dinner hosted by the Earl of Riverdale, he finds himself as fascinated by her as he was the first day they met, and wonders whether, after all these years, they have a chance at happiness together. Charles is determined to crack the hard exterior Matilda has built up for more than three decades, or he will risk losing her once again....

Lady Jessica Archer lost interest in the glittering excitement of romance after her cousin and dearest friend, Abigail, was rejected by the ton when her father was revealed to be a bigamist. Now that she is twenty-five, however, Jessica decides it is time to wed. Though she no longer believes she will find true love, she is still very eligible. She is, after all, the sister of Avery Archer, Duke of Netherby. Jessica considers the many qualified gentlemen who court her. But then she meets the mysterious Gabriel Thorne, who has returned to England from the New World to claim an equally mysterious inheritance. Jessica considers him completely unsuitable, especially when, while they are still barely acquainted, he announces his intention to wed her. When Jessica guesses who Gabriel really is, however, and watches the lengths to which he will go in order to protect those who rely upon him, she is drawn to his cause--and to the man.

Is love worth the loss of one's freedom and independence? This is what Mrs. Tavernor must decide in the new novel in the Westcott series from New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh.

When Harry Westcott lost the title Earl of Riverdale after the discovery of his father's bigamy, he shipped off to fight in the Napoleonic Wars, where he was near-fatally wounded. After a harrowing recovery, the once cheery, light-hearted boy has become a reclusive, somber man. Though Harry insists he enjoys the solitude, he does wonder sometimes if he is lonely.

Lydia Tavernor, recently widowed, dreams of taking a lover. Her marriage to Reverend Isaiah Tavernor was one of service and obedience, and she has secretly enjoyed her freedom since his death. She doesn't want to shackle herself to another man in marriage, but sometimes, she wonders if she is lonely.

Both are unwilling to face the truth until they find themselves alone together one night, and Lydia surprises even herself with a simple question: "Are you ever lonely?" Harry's answer leads them down a path neither could ever have imagined...

Sometimes, just one person can pull a whole family apart. And sometimes, it just takes one person to pull it back together. For fans of Bridgerton, New York Times bestselling Regency Romance author Mary Balogh shows how love truly conquers all in this new Westcott family novel.
As a young man, Justin Wiley was banished by his father for mysterious reasons, but now his father is dead, and Justin has been Earl of Brandon for six years. A dark, dour man, he nonetheless takes it as his responsibility to care for his half-sister Maria when her mother dies. He travels to her home to fetch her back to the family seat at Everleigh Park.
Although she adored him once, Maria now loathes Justin, and her friend Lady Estelle Lamarr can see immediately how his very name upsets her. When Justin arrives and invites Estelle and her brother to accompany Maria to Everleigh Park to help with her distress, she begrudgingly agrees for Maria's sake.
As family secrets unravel in Maria's homecoming, Justin, too, uncovers his desire for a countess. And, while he may believe he's found an obvious candidate in the beautiful 25-year-old Lady Estelle, she is most certain that they could never make a match . . .
This is the next sparkling novel in the Regency romance Westcott series by New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh.

Долгие годы Невиль Уайатт, граф Килбурн, мечтал о новой встрече с единственной женщиной, которую полюбил по-настоящему. С женщиной, на которой женился буквально после первой же ночи любви. С женщиной, которую отняла у него война - казалось бы, навсегда… Долгие годы мечтала красавица Лили не просто найти своего супруга, но вновь покорить его сердце, явиться к нему уже не нищей незнакомкой, но блистательной леди, достойной женой светского льва, хозяйкой лондонского салона. День, о котором столь долго мечтали влюбленные, настал. Но - удастся ли им теперь, спустя столько лет, возродить любовь, вспыхнувшую в час первой встречи?..

Кит Батлер, виконт Равенсберг, мог трижды быть аристократом - но джентльменом его не смог бы назвать никто! Особенно семья, уже отчаявшаяся найти этому бунтарю невесту! Осталась последняя надежда - единственная девушка, согласившаяся связать свою жизнь с Китом. Пожалуй, эта своенравная и на редкость красивая особа, презирающая мужчин, сумеет покорить виконта, - а возможно, заставит его и влюбиться до безумия...

Эйдан... Самый холодный и гордый из аристократического клана Бедвинов. Казалось бы, для него нет ничего важнее джентльменского долга. Но - что делать, если долг этот требует от сурового полковника исполнить обещание, данное умирающему на поле брани другу, и стать опорой и защитой его прелестной сестры Евы?
Клятву необходимо сдержать любой ценой. Даже - если ради этого придется жениться на девушке, которую раньше не видел... и полюбить свою юную жену со всей силой страсти!..

Лорд Рэнналф Бедвин отказывается верить, что скромница Джудит Лоу, "бедная родственница" в семье его соседей по имению, и таинственная прелестница, подарившая ему одну незабываемую ночь и наутро исчезнувшая без следа, - одна и та же женщина! Однако пламя страсти, которое Джудит зажгла в его сердце, уже не погасить, - и очень скоро легкомысленный повеса, порхающий по жизни как мотылек, готов на коленях молить возлюбленную о взаимности...

Дерзкую Фрею Бедвин никак не назовешь утонченной леди. Однако ее появление на великосветском курорте произвело настоящий фурор среди титулованных особ! Эта отчаянная девушка может пойти на многое. Даже - забавы ради - сыграть роль невесты легкомысленного Джошуа Мора, маркиза Холлмера. О свадьбе, конечно, нет и речи, считает Фрея, которой пока неведомо, каким опасным может быть обаяние настоящего мужчины...

Соблазнить прелестную девушку - и тем отомстить ее семье... Таков был план Джервиса Эшфорда, графа Росторна, в отношении юной леди Морган Бедвин, и план этот блестяще удался... Почти.
Почти - потому что один из самых циничных соблазнителей высшего общества ухитрился до безумия влюбиться в свою жертву, и теперь, когда скандал разразился, мечтает вступить с ней в законный брак.
Однако гордая Морган упорно отвергает мольбы Джервиса - и добиться от нее ответной страсти будет нелегко...

Лорд Аллен Бедвин, едва не погибший в разгар битвы под копытами лошади, очнулся… в борделе, где прекрасная темноволосая незнакомка выхаживала его с одним условием: он должен ввести ее в лондонский свет, представив как свою жену. Еще одна «жрица любви», использующая мужчин на пути к власти и богатству? Возможно… Но почему тогда все в облике Рейчел Йорк говорит об ангельской невинности, неуместной для гетеры? Аллен мучается этими вопросами… но еще сильнее страдает он от любви к Рейчел, пылкой, неутолимой страсти, которую красавица упрямо отвергает…

Легкомысленные дамы высшего лондонского общества в восторге - вернулся в свет неотразимый Вулфрик Бедвин, герцог Бьюкасл, блистательный повеса и известный соблазнитель! Но надеждам изысканных леди не суждено сбыться.
Все свое мужское обаяние Вулфрик обрушивает на неприступную гордячку Кристину Деррик - единственную, кому претят его смелые ухаживания!
Герцог вновь и вновь идет в атаку - и встречает жестокий отпор.
Задето его мужское самолюбие!
Что же ему предпринять?
