heryl Bolen has enjoyed several successful careers. She has been a stay-at-home mother, a journalist, a public school English teacher, an antiques dealer, and in 1998, she debuted with her first novel, A DUKE DECEIVED. With each endeavor came rewards. For the years she spent as a nurturing mother (including being a PTA officer, room mother, team mom, etc.), she looks with pride now on two extraordinary sons and counts motherhood as the noblest career of all. And after the awards she garnered with her first novel (including being named Notable New Author), Cheryl knows writing is the career that will sustain her in the coming years. She says it is only natural that she write about love and commitment. She has been married to her real-life hero, now a college government professor, since she was 20 years old. They especially enjoy travelling to England every chance they get. |

The past year has been most unkind to Lady Fiona Hollingsworth. First, the man she has been promised to for half her life (Edward, Earl Warwick, hero of COUNTERFEIT COUNTESS) broke her heart by marrying another. Then her beloved father died, leaving his financial affairs in shambles. And now her eldest brother has been abducted by Spanish outlaws who demand an exorbitant ransom to ensure his safe return. Desperate to save her brother, Fiona remembers a chance meeting with the handsome Nicholas Birmingham, the richest stockbroker in all of England, a man shunned by her brother. She casts her pride aside and goes to Nicholas, but all she has to offer as collateral is . . . herself. Nick has never been able to forget Hollingworth's lovely sister Fiona--nor can he forget that Fiona was promised to Lord Warwick, a fool who tossed her aside for another woman. Even if she still loves Warwick, Nick's keen attraction to Fiona renders him powerless to refuse her offer. He agrees to make her his bride, allowing her to believe he's marrying her to gain the social standing his money has been unable to buy. Better let her believe that than to guess the truth--that he's marrying her for love. |

Maggie thought she was married to an earl. . . but it seems that her late and unlamented husband lied to her from the day they met. Now -- penniless, stranded in London, and suspected of a most vile treachery against the crown -- she has thrown herself on the mercy of the real Lord Warwick. He seems not to trust her at all, though she is innocent of any wrongdoing. What's a counterfeit countess to do? |
