Author Description

Hero's Return Robert Symington has recently inherited the title Marquess of Elston, but a codicil to his father's will requires that he marry within a year or face unknown consequences. Worse still, Robert must choose from among twenty ladies the deceased man deemed appropriate--one of whom the dashing bachelor knew when she was a girl of six and he a lad of thirteen. Miss Karla Lane has changed greatly since last she met Robert -- and so have her circumstances. Once the apple of her late father's eye, she is now held captive to her stepmother's whims, including the command to stay abovestairs when the marquess comes to visit. Yet in her heart, she hopes that the man who has always been the hero of her dreams will find a way to claim her for his own.
