From Harlequin Historical, “Your romantic escape to the past,” come two historical romance novels in one. In Louise Allen’s A Rogue for the Dutiful Duchess, the scandal of the season must be stopped! Widowed duchess Sophie will do anything to protect her son and his inheritance—even ask roguish Lord Nicholas Pascoe to retrieve her late husband’s diaries before the secrets they contain bring down the government and the monarchy! Sophie knows she must maintain her distance from Nicholas, but she can’t help but respond to the desire in his eyes. Their mission is treacherous, but will it prove as dangerous as their unexpected attraction? In Virginia Heath’s witty Regency romance His Maddening Matchmaker, sparks fly. They say opposites attract—but do they wed? Ned Parker has spent years restoring his family’s fortunes, leaving no time for courting. Now childhood friend and self-appointed matchmaker Isobel has decided to transform this “scruffy brute” into an eligible gentleman. Though he has no interest in rejoining society, Ned senses Izzy needs the distraction and reluctantly goes along with her plans. Despite their differing views, a surprising new attraction grows—but Ned is doing his best to avoid it!
