He waylays her carriage and runs off with her property. Can she keep him from stealing her heart as well? By day, Reginald Sinclair works in the post office, but by night, he is the increasingly infamous Paladin, the gallant highwayman making young women swoon all over Somerset. With a vendetta against the wealthy that spans both past and present, Reggie's escapades allow him to take justice into his own hands while helping his uncle avoid insolvency. Joanna Carmichael's father has finally chosen her a husband. While she is not thrilled with her father's selection, Joanna understands it as a business arrangement, something which suits her practicality perfectly. Her father hopes her good sense will exercise a beneficial effect upon her younger sister, Frances, who is regrettably prone to romantics. Frances's preoccupation with reports of the Paladin threaten to overshadow Joanna's coolheaded example, but Joanna is determined to show her sister how foolish and unworthy of admiration the outlaw is. During their encounter, though, the maddening highwayman takes an item of Joanna's—then has the audacity to send her a letter with instructions on how to recover it, beginning a battle of wills that brings Reggie within reach of the people responsible for his family's ruin and forces Joanna to reconsider the desirability of her business arrangement.

He's determined to finish the job, even if she distracts him... With his deceased father's woodworking business now failing, Edward Steele will do anything to see its return to prosperity, even if that means accepting work from the Coventry family far outside of Bath. His two goals? Finishing this new task swiftly and making as few acquaintances as possible. But such things are easier said than done, especially when the Coventry's daughter finds it necessary to spy on him at every turn. Marianne Coventry doesn't mean to stare, but such a task is difficult when a man as handsome as Mr. Steele works right before her eyes. Besides, at twenty years old and not yet out in Society-due to an unmarried elder sister and a strict, rule-abiding father-she will take any distraction she can get. Perhaps turning to a dashing woodworker for entertainment isn't a wise decision, but does she really have any other choice? As Edward becomes aware of Marianne's sheltered life, an unexpected friendship sprouts between them-a friendship her family cannot discover, especially when Marianne begins to realize she's been living half a life. Still, Edward's heart remains cautious, for becoming distracted and losing his family's business would mean forfeiting his livelihood and everything his father worked so hard to achieve. Despite the forces working against them, only the two of them can decide what they want most in life-and if they're willing to risk everything for love.

Can a man from the stables become the man of her dreams? Life is on track for Philip Jenkins. Through hard work and a fair amount of luck, he owns an estate, and his horses are renowned throughout Somerset. But he wants them to be coveted throughout England and that requires the endorsement of a well-respected duke. Philip will not allow anything to distract him. That is until he meets a governess attending his neighbor's house party. His attraction to her is strong and immediate, but she cannot seem to see him as anything more than a groom. As the daughter of a viscount, Elizabeth Carter never thought she would be a spinster, or have to seek employment as a governess. When she attends a house party with the children of her employer, she is immediately drawn to the owner of the neighboring estate. But the man is nothing like what she dreamed. He seems more at home in the stables than in the parlor. When a duke makes Elizabeth an offer, she knows she must seize the opportunity with both hands. But accepting the offer does not stop her from thinking of Mr. Jenkins. As the house party draws to a close, both Philip and Elizabeth must decide what is more important-the security they always dreamed of or the love they just discovered.

The Englishwoman’s Review, which published from 1866 to 1910, participated in and recorded a great change in the range of possibilities open to women. The ideal of the magazine was the idea of the emerging emancipated middle-class woman: economic independence from men, choice of occupation, participation in the male enterprises of commerce and government, access to higher education, admittance to the male professions, particularly medicine, and, of course, the power of suffrage equal to that of men. First published in 1979, this nineteenth volume contains issues from 1886. With an informative introduction by Janet Horowitz Murray and Myra Stark, and an index compiled by Anna Clark, this set is an invaluable resource to those studying nineteenth and early twentieth-century feminism and the women’s movement in Britain.

It's only a little ruse... Rebecca Turner traveled to Bath on the faint hope of finding a cure for her ailing mother-but with very little money to pay for it. Dr. Jared Cooper was unsure he could ever love again until he laid eyes on Rebecca's cousin-the incomparable Miss Alicia. He's smitten, but she's in mourning and thus unavailable for a time. Fortunately, her cousin Rebecca can help. Finding themselves each in need of something that the other person can procure, Rebecca and Jared strike a bargain: he agrees to tend to her ailing mother at no charge on the condition that Rebecca discreetly passes his letters to her mourning cousin. She can ill afford to lose Dr. Cooper's help, so when Alicia refuses to write back to the doctor, Rebecca takes matters into her own hands. But what can Rebecca do when she finds herself falling in love with the man behind the letters, and he doesn't know it's her?
