Abandoned at the altar . . .
Lady Beatrix Danbury had always known she would marry William
Mallory. She'd loved him forever and she'd never doubted he loved
her, too. But when she made him choose between their life together
or his lifelong dream, Will chose the latter . . . and left two
weeks before their wedding.
Return of the duke . . .
Will has no illusions that Beatrix would welcome him back with
open arms, but six years did not dim his love or desire for her.
The only problem is, she's about to marry someone else. Someone
safe and predictable . . . the complete opposite of Will. But can
he stop the wedding of the season and win Beatrix back, or is it
just too late?
Daisy Merrick can't keep a job. Her confident optimistic outlook on
life is put to the test when she loses her third job in six months,
but she's sure she can find employment that suits her carefree
personality. And she does...in the form of theatre critic. But her
first review of a popular playwright is disastrous, especially when
she is confronted by the very angry author himself. Sebastian
Grant, Earl of Avermore, is not happy. How dare this...this critic
call his work a piece of drivel! Never mind that he completely
agrees with her. And to make it worse, his publisher is after him
to finish his novel; so desperate, in fact, that he assigned
Sebastian a writing partner - Daisy! Enemies at first sight, hatred
quickly turns to desire. But will the temptations of Sebastian's
dark past be too much to resist? Can Daisy dispel the darkness from
Sebastian's soul and finally bring them both the happiness they so
crave?
Phillip Hawthorne, Marquis of Kayne, has his life mapped out before
him. He is a responsible member of the peerage, and rumor has it he
may become the next prime minister. And then the unthinkable
happens - he literally runs into the woman from his past...Twelve
years ago, Maria Martingale was the cook's daughter, and she
fancied herself in love with Lawrence Hawthorne, the Marquis'
younger brother. But then Phillip got wind of it and threatened to
cut Lawrence off, unless Maria left. Refusing to be the cause of
family strife, Maria agrees. Now she has run into Phillip, still as
cold and ruthless as he had been on that day twelve years ago. He's
concerned that Maria will ruin things for Lawrence and his
impending marriage, so Phillip does the only thing he can think of
to distract her - seduction. But he may get more than he bargains
for when his heart begins to thaw and he realizes propriety isn't
all it's cracked up to be.
Beloved authors Julia Quinn, Elizabeth Boyle, Laura Lee Guhrke, and
Stefanie Sloane deliver the stories of four friends from Madame
Rochambeaux's Gentle School for Girls who find an old sixpence in
their bedchamber and decide that it will be the lucky coin for each
of their weddings..."Something Old" Julia Quinn's prologue
introduces her heroine Beatrice Heywood and the premise for Four
Weddings and a Sixpence. "Something New" In Stefanie Sloane's
unforgettable story, an ever-vigilant guardian decrees that Anne
Brabourne must marry by her twenty-first birthday. But love finds
her in the most unexpected of ways. "Something Borrowed" Elizabeth
Boyle tells the tale of Cordelia Padley, who has invented a
betrothed to keep her family from pestering her to wed. Now she'll
need to borrow one to convince them she's found her true love.
"Something Blue" In Laura Lee Guhrke's story, unlucky Lady Elinor
Daventry has her sixpence stolen from her and must convince the
rake who pilfered the coin to return it in time for her own
wedding. "...and a Sixpence in Her Shoe" Julia Quinn finishes with
the story of Beatrice Heywood, who never believed that the sixpence
was anything but a tarnished old coin-until it led all of her
friends to true love. But her faith in the coin is tested when it
keeps sending her to the wrong man!
