This box set contains my three Regency novels.

They are: Lady Alice’s Dilemma, Lord Philip’s Christmas, Miss Ridgeway’s Privateer.

The first two books are linked by their characters and by some of the events. The third is a stand alone novel, based to a small extent on fact.

Lady Alice’s Dilemma:

In the middle of her first London season, Lady Alice Sutherland is shocked to encounter her renegade brother, Philip, at Lady Roche's ball. Masquerading under another name and heavily disguised, why has Philip suddenly returned? He was banished following a duel, where he left a man for dead. His opponent recovered and vowed vengeance if he ever returned to England. If his true identity is discovered, Philip could hang for attempted murder. Alice finds herself caught up in a web of intrigue and violence as she helps her brother to fulfil his rescue mission. Standing in the shadows is her cousin, Edward, newly returned from the Peninsular War to take up his inheritance and the guardianship of his sisters following his father's death. Will Edward help or hinder her? Why should Alice care so much for his opinion?

Lord Philip’s Christmas:

Lord Philip Sutherland is unaware that, due to his father’s death, he has inherited the Earldom of Kirkmore. When he rescued his first love, Celia Staunton, from her abusive husband, he fled with her to France where he is forced to earn a precarious living as a fencing master. Philip’s youngest sister, Lady Alice, with her husband, Edward, and her companion, Grace Talbot, travel to Paris to find Philip and, if possible, to bring him home. All three are caught up in the turmoil which follows the Emperor Napoleon’s return from Elba. Accused of espionage, Philip escapes from France into Belgium where troops are gathering and where the battle of Waterloo is about to begin.

Miss Ridgeway’s Privateer:

Left destitute by her father's death in the battle of Talavera, Lucy Ridgeway is sent to live with her grandmother in Ireland. Never having met her father's estranged family, Lucy is both reluctant and nervous but she is given no choice. She cannot remain in England any longer. Instead of her planned debut in London, her grandmother offers to present her at the Viceroy's court in Dublin. These plans are interrupted when Lucy's ship is captured by French privateers. One of her captors is the Irishman Patrick O’Rourke, the ship’s surgeon, whom she has met before in unusual circumstances. Attraction is instant and mutual but ... how can a well brought up girl fall in love with a pirate?
