Kate Huntington

A DESPERATE FORTUNE HUNTER Vanessa Whittaker must become betrothed by the end of her first London season—or else resign her fate and that of her family to the poorhouse. Encouraging the sole attentions of well-heeled elderly men, the raven-tressed beauty scorns the most handsome young noblemen Society has to offer, including wounded war hero Captain Alexander Logan. But it isn't long before Vanessa's resolve slowly crumbles under this dashing rogue's irresistibly wicked spell! A DARING CAPTAIN Against his father's wishes, Captain Alexander Logan intends to return to his regiment, even if it means wooing a pretty fortune hunter. Surely then his father will hasten to send him away to the military. Yet Alex has not reckoned on taking so much pleasure in matching wits with the delectable Miss Whittaker, who is determined to ignore his amorous advances. But two can play on the battlefield of love. Soon, Alex sets out to teach Vanessa a lesson and reap his own rewards from a sham courtship that is quickly laying siege to two unsuspecting hearts...
