An orphan for the Duke [large print] / by Ashwood, Audrey,author.; shwood, Audrey,author.;
Seven years ago, the Duke of Devonshire's heart was shattered. After his late-wife's death, the duke immersed himself in work and duty so he could numb the pain. Despite his possession of immense wealth, a historic title, strikingly handsome looks, and not few possible prospects, he wants for nothing in this world - except to be left alone. That solitude ends suddenly with the arrival of a desperate letter from an old friend, containing his dying wish that the duke care for his daughter. The duke, unable to ignore his dying friend's appeal, orders the house to be prepared for the child's arrival - much-loved toys and dolls, a room with the best views in the front of the house, and a swing in the garden. Only a few days later, Isabella arrives at the luxurious Hardwick Manor. She is a shock to the duke - in both age and appearance. He was expecting a child, and not a stunningly beautiful woman! What fate awaits the woman who has lost everything? What of the duke who has sworn never to love again?

The Rogue Not Taken [sound recording] by MacLean, Sarah; Eyre, Justine.;
The first in a brand new series from New York Times bestselling, RITA award-winning, author Sarah MacLean. The least-interesting Talbot sister scandalized society by striking her notoriously philandering brother-in-law and landing him backside-first in a goldfish pond. And we thought Sophie was the quiet one. When she finds herself the target of very public aristocratic scorn, Sophie Talbot flees, vowing to start a new life far from London. Unfortunately, the carriage in which she stows away isn't saving her from ruin ... it's filled with it. The Marquess of Eversley was espied descending a rose trellis-eluding an irate Earl and his once-future countess. No lady is safe from the Eversley's engagement ending escapades! Kingscote, Marquess of Eversley, has never met a woman he couldn't charm, a quality resulting in a reputation far worse than the truth and an irate summons to the Scottish border. When King discovers stowaway Sophie, however, the journey becomes anything but boring. He thinks she's trying to trick him into marriage. She wouldn't have him if he were the last man on earth. But carriages bring close quarters, dark secrets, and unbearable temptation, making opposites altogether too attractive.
