Rufus Lovell has been thrust unexpectedly into riches, and gained a new set of friends who delight in wagers and bets, with nothing too small or too big to gamble on - even marriage. So when a tipsy party joke becomes a wager on Rufus' marriage, he knows he should said no...A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE Every year for thirty years Lord Robert, the Viscount of Marchwood, throws a Christmas Ball. But this year the Marchwood Christmas Ball holds extra importance as his daughter, Lady Audrey, has just turned 18 and it is time for her coming out. With the Marchwood family fortune all but gone, Lord Robert is keen to secure her a prosperous match. But when a handsome, masked stranger threatens to steal Audrey's heart, will it prove to be a good or bad Christmas Surprise A VALENTINE'S SECRET Jonathan Brodie, the only son of Sir Roger and Lady Brodie, has lived in the village of Maplebridge his whole life.

They could not be more different and yet, one blustery January morning, their paths collide in a chance encounter that is destined to change their lives forever... A JUNE WEDDING Victoria Walsingham's heart will only ever belong to Isaac Quinn, the son of the Duke of Daventry, but their opposing social standings force them apart.

But when Victoria finally returns home in the hope of reconciling with Isaac, an invitation is waiting for her to the wedding of Mr Isaac Quinn and a Miss Hestia Royce. With time running out, will Victoria ever get her happy ending?
