Johanna Lindsey CD Collection 6: the Heir, the Devil Who Tamed Her, a Rogue of My Own Abridged edition

The Heir: The grandson of a Scottish clan laird, Duncan MacTavish is shocked to learn that his other grandfather was an English marquis whose title and London estate he is now required to take on. Worse still, he is engaged to a stranger who has mocked him in public. But his bride-to-be, Ophelia, has been guiding a lovely and witty, if dreadfully inexperienced, country girl named Sabrina through the latter's all-important first coming-out season. The enchanting Sabrina enthralls Duncan much more than his own intended does, and she shares his passionate feelings as well. But duty and circumstance - plus a scandal in Sabrina's family past - have made it impossible for her and the dashing highlander to be together . . . unless true love can somehow, miraculously, find a way. The Devil Who Tamed Her: Ophelia Reid is an incomparable beauty with a reputation for starting rumors and spreading them. Having purposely wrecked her engagement to Duncan MacTavish, a future marquis, which her social-climbing father arranged, Ophelia wants to return to London?s marriage mart and make her own choice of a wealthy husband. But on her journey home, something unexpected happens? The heir to a dukedom, Raphael Locke, Viscount Lynnfield is ? in spite of his disinterest in marriage ? the most sought-after young lord in England. He instantly disliked Ophelia when she caused a scandal to avoid marriage to his friend MacTavish, but having comforted her in a tearful moment, he begins to wonder if she?s not all bad. So when MacTavish claims that Ophelia will never be anything but a spiteful beauty, Rafe bets his best friend that he can turn her into a kind-hearted lady who will one day make a good match, just not with him. With her parents? blessing, Rafe commandeers Ophelia?s coach and whisks her ? chaperoned, of course ? to his remote estate in the countryside. There, as he tries to show his furious, sharp-tongued ?guest? the error of her ways, he discovers the surprising reasons for her bad behavior. Soon his daily lessons with Ophelia take effect and he finds himself irresistibly attracted to her. When Rafe champions the new and improved Ophelia?s re-entry to London society, marriage proposals pour in. Only then does Rafe start to wonder whether he hasn?t gone and fallen in love with Ophelia himself. A Rogue of My Own: How does an innocent lady find herself forced to wed a royal spy who seduced her ? by mistake? For Lady Rebecca Marshall, a whirlwind of passion and excitement begins when, to her mother?s great delight, she becomes a maid of honor at the court of Queen Victoria. Rebecca?s mother sees this appointment as a golden opportunity for Rebecca to make a good match. At court, Rebecca innocently steps into the rivalry between the queen?s spymaster and the noblewoman in charge of the maids of honor who is using the maids to spy on powerful courtiers. Soon Rebecca is entangled in a web of deceit with the charming marquis Rupert St. John. The devastatingly handsome n?er-do-well is the cousin of Raphael Locke, with whom Rebecca was once infatuated. What she doesn?t know is that Rupert is a secret agent of the crown who leads a double life. When Rupert obtains proof that Rebecca is spying on him, he seduces her. He hardly suspects her guileless nature. Forced to the altar, Rupert believes that Rebecca has set a trap of the worst sort in order to marry into his powerful family. Although he vows never to be faithful to his beautiful wife, as Rupert comes to know Rebecca?s wit, adventurous spirit, and generous nature, his vow of revenge turns into a desire to share many passionate nights only with his wife for the rest of his life. Warm, witty, and filled with the ?deliciously sexy? (Booklist) flirtation that makes each of her bestsellers an irresistible gem, A Rogue of My Own will have listeners falling in love with Johanna Lindsey all over again!
