The Worldly
Widow
ISBN: 0-8217-2878-4
Annabelle Jocelyn
preferred to keep men at a distance. Indeed, the young widow's heart
belonged to her business. As owner and editor of Bailey's Press, her
current project was to secure a certain scandalous diary with which
she hoped to cause a publishing sensation. But Annabelle's plans went
decidedly awry when she crossed paths with the rakish Earl of Dalmar,
a man (hardly a gentleman!) who seemed to have a singular talent for
getting her back up. He had an interest, no doubt a personal one,
for suppressing the diary. But she was not about to be intimidated
by his anger, nor tempted by the gleam in his eye . . .

Fallen Angel
ISBN: 0-8217-2654-4
If there was one man Madeleina never wanted to lay eyes on, it
was the scoundrel who'd seduced her fashionably young stepmother
and disgraced her beloved father. The spirited Scottish lass knew
his name: Deveryn. Then she met dashing Jason Verney, and as he
waltzed her into his strong embrace and plied her with his practiced
charms, Madeleina forgot about scandals and betrayals. She was too
besotted to ask the young man his full name and too much in love
to guess that Jason was really Viscount Deveryn, known to the London
ton as The Fallen Angel.
Ms. Thornton has struck gold with this searing romance set in
the Regency time-frame. The irresistible chemistry between the battling
lovers explodes into an equally mesmerizing sensuality that will
be relished by a wide audience. A major, major talent, Ms. Thornton
takes her rightful place as a genre superstar. (Rave
Reviews, 1989)

The Passionate
Prude
ISBN: 0-8217-2485-1
When word reached Deirdre Fenton that her brother was pursuing
the notorious actress Mrs. Dewinters, she immediately set about
extricating her incorrigible sibling from his latest folly. But
her brother had gone too far this time for his - or her - own good.
For Mrs. Dewinters was under the powerful protection of the reprobate
war hero, the Earl of Rathbourne . . . the very man Deirdre had
summarily rejected years before after nearly succumbing to his highly
improper advances .And the earl was not a man to forgive an insult
- or forget a lady as passionate as Miss Fenton.
From the glittering ballrooms of London's haute ton to the bloody
battlefields of Waterloo, Ms. Thornton sweeps us away on a grand
scale with this intensely passionate love affair between two strong-willed
people. Writing with an impeccable sense of the period, Ms. Thornton
has authored a splendid breakout book to take her place among the
foremost exponents of Regency romance. (Romantic Times,
1988)

A Virtuous
Lady
ISBN: 0-8217-3703-1
. . . a merry romp that blends chuckles and sensual romance
to great effect.
Briony Langland knew she was expected to take her place in England's
polite society. But the straight-laced Quaker miss had no patience
for London's constant social whirl of balls, soirées, and the dashing
young blades who flocked around her. And when the arrogant Lord Ravensworth
mistook her for a poor relation and made her a shockingly indecent
proposal, Briony was furious. No matter that his daring advances set
her pulses racing in a very unvirtuous fashion, Briony was deteremined
to take the handsome libertine down a peg or two, and pay him back
in his own coin.
A young Quaker miss was not supposed to be interested in dancing
and other diversions of the haute ton. That's why Briony Langford
meekly went to bed the night her new guardians held a ball in their
fashionable mansion in Richmond. But when sleep wouldn't come, a visit
to the library for something to read seemed perfectly proper. What
wasn't proper at all was interrupting the amorous rendezvous of a
highborn lady and that notorious rake, Hugh Montgomery, Marquess of
Ravensworth. And even less proper was the searing kiss exchanged between
the innocent young girl and worldly man. What follows this provocative
encounter is a fast-paced frolic wherein the dishonorable intentions
of a confirmed bachelor are gradually transformed into an ingenious
scheme to trap his newfound love into marriage. (Melinda Helfer
in Romantic Times, 1988)

Bluestocking
Bride
ISBN: 0-8217-2215-8
Catherine Harland, a sheltered country
girl, possessed a passion for Greek letters. Hippolytus, she felt was
the epitome of male virtue - high-minded, lofty in his ideals, and completely
the opposite of the rude and infuriating Marquis of Ruthereston, her
family's new neighbor. It seemed to amuse that notorious womanizer to
bait her with his own surprisingly excellent command of Greek literature.
Well, Catherine may have been a green girl, but she could give as good
as she got - as the Marquis would soon discover.
"The Bluestocking Bride is a young lady whose passion for things
Greek leads her into the arms of her rakish neighbor. The interplay
between the attractive characters is delightful and there's plenty
of sensual spark . . . happy reading is certainly in store for the
Regency devotee." (Melinda Helfer in Romantic Times,
1987)
