A KIND AND DECENT MAN: Mrs Victoria Hart, recently widowed, suddenly found herself impoverished. Her only hope of financial aid was David, Viscount Courtenay - the man who'd loved and cherished her before abandoning her seven years previously. Victoria suggested a marriage of convenience, but was horrified when David offered an alternative - be his mistress! A ROGUIS GENTLEMAN: Viscount Stratton had a reputation as an adventurer and a daredevil. He also kept the most beautiful mistresses of any man in the ton. So all of London was agog with the news that Stratton suddenly planned to wed Lady Elizabeth Rowe. Lady Elizabeth's family owed money to the viscount, and the only way to repay it was with Elizabeth's sizable dowry. But everyone, Elizabeth included, wondered why Stratton had agreed to marry a lady with a dubious reputation. Was it love - or revenge?
