Cathy Maxwell

“This spirited and tender yarn is a joyride that careens from adventure to adventure . . . Readers . . . of Julia Quinn and Victoria Alexander shouldn’t miss [it].” —Publishers Weekly

The Runaway Heiress

Like many a Regency miss, Lyssa Harrell longs for love, but knows her duty lies in marriage. Still, when her father promises her hand to a dissolute but well-connected lord, she does the unthinkable . . . she flees to Scotland. Not to Gretna Green, but to her family — and to the castle where her mother once had been so happy. In this romantic land she will discover her heart's desire.

A Man Seeking His Fortune

But she doesn't count on Ian Campion. The ruggedly handsome man has his orders: fetch the runaway daughter home! Ian has a price on his head and a dire need for the reward Lyssa's father offers. Tracking Lyssa down is easy enough, convincing her to return is difficult . . . and not seducing her is impossible.

And Their Scandalous Adventures

Soon, Lyssa is on the adventure of a lifetime. She has to sleep in the great outdoors, and flee from mysterious attempts on her life. She knows she's ruined in the eyes of society, but she is willing to risk everything for the unimaginable passion she finds in Ian's strong arms. And when they return to civilization, the two must confront the most perilous adventure of all . . . admitting their unanticipated love.

“Cathy Maxwell can’t be beat.” —New York Times bestselling author Jill Barnett

Avon Historical Romance

Adventures of a Scottish Heiress

Samantha James

A Marquess hopes to transform a low-born beauty into an ideal match in the New York Times–bestselling author’s Regency romance.

London, 1815. After closing her eyes in the city’s poorest slum, Devon St. James awakens wrapped in fine linens . . . staring into the eyes of the most gorgeous man she has ever seen! Sebastian Sterling, marquess of Thurston, is clearly shocked to have a girl from the streets in his bed—despite the unmistakable desire burning in his gaze.

After impetuously carrying her into his home, Sebastian must now deal with this exquisite young beauty in rags. Worse still, the lady is driving the responsible marquess to distraction with her spirit and sensuality. But perhaps with some of Sebastian’s private schooling, this fiery enchantress can learn refinement and manners—and be miraculously transformed into . . . a perfect bride.

A Perfect Bride

This “heartwarming” Regency romance about a widow who finds forbidden passion is a “lively and surprising read” from a New York Times–bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).

Marry the local vicar—a stodgy man with six impossible children. Never! Deborah Percival is determined to discover passion in a man’s arms, not duty in a dull marriage. And when she becomes stranded at a countryside inn, tantalizing Anthony Aldercy, the Earl of Burnell, offers her the chance to fulfill her dreams. Deborah knows she should say no—but how can she resist?

The earl is determined to repair his reputation—and a marriage to a demure high-born lady of the ton will do this—but he cannot deny Deborah’s charms. Her lush curves tease his senses, while her delicious honesty touches his heart. But when she disappears, he’s desperate, so he searches all of London to find her, refusing to rest until he brings her into his life—and his arms—again.

Perhaps Deborah is not the only one being tempted . . .
