Eloisa James Knihy

Prvá časť voľnej série o sestrách Essexových. Tess stojí po smrti otca pred neľahkou úlohou: dobre sa vydať a nájsť vhodných ženíchov aj pre svoje tri sestry – krásnu Annabel, romanticky založenú Imogen a praktickú Josie. Štyri sestry Essexové sa ocitnú na panstve vojvodu z Holbrooku – svojho poručníka, ktorý je milý a láskavý, ale priveľa pije. Keď si Tess myslí, že sa veci konečne pohli správnym smerom, jedna zo sestier tajne utečie s mladým lordom a Tessin snúbenec v deň ich plánovaného sobáša zmizne. Dvojnásobný škandál v rodine môže Tess zatušovať iba urýchleným vydajom – poruke je iba Lucius Felton, o ktorom idú kadejaké chýry a s ktorým prerušila styky aj jeho vlastná matka. Annabel sa zdá fešák, praktická Josie vyzdvihuje jeho bohatstvo. Tess je odhodlaná zachrániť sestrám budúcnosť a napokon súhlasí so sobášom z rozumu. Jej vzťah s manželom sa však vyvíja inak, ako predpokladala…

One night's disguise could lead to a lifetime of passion...A Mischievous Charade...Harriet, Duchess of Berrow, is tired of her title and the responsibilities that come along with it. Enough with proper tea parties and elegant balls; what Harriet really wants is to attend an outrageous soiree where she can unleash her wildest whims and desires. But to attend such an event—especially if the event in question is Lord Justinian Strange's rollicking fete, filled with noble rogues and rotters, risqué ladies and illicit lovers—would be certain scandal. That's why she must disguise herself . . .Looking forward to a night of uninhibited pleasure, Lord Strange is shocked to discover that beneath the clothes of a no-good rake is the most beautiful woman in the room. Why is a woman like her risking her reputation at his notorious affair? And can he possibly entice her to stay . . . forever?

Eloisa James returns to the Wildes of Lindow Castle series with the next Wilde child who runs and joins a theatre troupe -- and the duke who tries to save her reputation. He wants a prim and proper duchess, not the Wildest of the Wildes! Already notorious for the golden hair that proves her mother's infidelity, Lady Joan can't seem to avoid scandals, but her latest escapade may finally ruin her: she's determined to perform the title role of a prince--in breeches, naturally. She has the perfect model for an aristocratic male in mind: Thaddeus Erskine Shaw, Viscount Greywick, a man who scorned the very idea of marrying her. Not that Joan would want such a dubious honor, of course. For years, Thaddeus has avoided the one Wilde who shakes his composure, but he's horrified when he grasps the danger Joan's putting herself in. Staring into her defiant eyes, he makes the grim vow that he'll keep her safe. He strikes a bargain: after one performance, the lady must return to her father's castle and marry one of three gentlemen whom he deems acceptable. Not including him, of course.

Lord Alaric Wilde, son of the Duke of Lindow, is the most celebrated man in England, revered for his dangerous adventures and rakish good looks. Arriving home from years abroad, he has no idea of his own celebrity until his boat is met by mobs of screaming ladies. Alaric escapes to his father’s castle, but just as he grasps that he’s not only famous but notorious, he encounters the very private, very witty, Miss Willa Ffynche. Willa presents the façade of a serene young lady to the world. Her love of books and bawdy jokes is purely for the delight of her intimate friends. She wants nothing to do with a man whose private life is splashed over every newspaper. Alaric has never met a woman he wanted for his own . . . until he meets Willa. He’s never lost a battle. But a spirited woman like Willa isn’t going to make it easy. . . . The first book in Eloisa James’s dazzling new series set in the Georgian period glows with her trademark wit and sexy charm—and introduces a large, eccentric family. Readers will love the Wildes of Lindow Castle!
