Mrs. Regina Stansbury, a woman of high fashion and dwindling fortunes, has just trapped London's most courted bachelor into agreeing to marry her daughter Cordelia. Though young Miss Cordelia Stansbury has admired the handsome and dashing Gervaise Valerian for years, she is mortified by the circumstances of their engagement. Duty bound to obtain her father's consent for this match, Miss Stansbury becomes lost at sea while traveling to meet him in Egypt. But Valerian's hopes for a long and carefree bachelorhood are dashed once again when Miss Stansbury reappears after a year spent shipwrecked on a desert island.

Ignoring the Code of Honour, Valerian rescinds his offer of matrimony. To restore the family name, Piers Cranford, a distant cousin of Valerian's, is bullied into proposing to the disgraced young lady. His offer is rudely rejected, but under pressure from his great-uncle General Lord Nugent Cranford, Piers is forced to pursue Miss Stansbury or risk losing his...]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2001 21:34:39 +0200 https://www.bookfrom.net/patricia-veryan/402883-love_alters_not.html https://www.bookfrom.net/patricia-veryan/402883-love_alters_not.html
Patricia Veryan returns to Georgian England with this eagerly awaited fourth volume in her highly acclaimed series of romantic adventures, The Golden Chronicles. Lover Alters Not opens in 1746, when the impetuous and beautiful Dimity Cranford sets out to rescue her childhood companion, Horatio Glendenning, a Jacobite sympathizer with an urgent message to deliver.

The author of five superbly entertaining Regency novels, Patricia Veryan has been proclaimed "a worthy successor to Georgette Heyer at her very best" (The Chattanooga Times). Now, in her sixth novel, Feather Castles, Patricia Veryan gives us another sparkling Regency full of drama and romance as she unfolds the spellbinding adventures and apparently star-crossed love of the soon-to-be-married Miss Rachel Strand and a man whose name she does not even know.
It is dusk on the ruined battlefields of Waterloo. In a carriage slowly making its way across the desolation is Rachel Strand, fiancée to the rich and powerful Claude Sanguinet, who is accompanying her friend and teacher Sister Maria Evangeline in a desperate search for one man among the thousands who lie wounded. Before they can find that man, they come across a valiant young solider who, though badly wounded, saves them from plunderers–a man who cannot remember his name, or even his...]]> Thu, 25 Nov 1993 21:35:09 +0200 https://www.bookfrom.net/patricia-veryan/402871-the_wagered_widow.html https://www.bookfrom.net/patricia-veryan/402871-the_wagered_widow.html

The Regency novels of Patricia Veryan have established her as a "worthy successor to Georgette Heyer at her very best," says The Chattanooga Times–a writer whose warmth, style, and storytelling magic are unsurpassed. Publisher's Weekly called her novel, Some Brief Folly, "an infectious entertaining tale of bygone days." Now, in Married Past Redemption, Ms. Veryan carries on this splendid tradition with the story of lovely Lisette Van Lindsay.
When the established Van Lindsay family is threatened with financial collapse, a mariage de convenance is arranged for Lisette with the seemingly cold and brusque Justin Strand, a man who has great wealth, but whose family background is less than admirable. A dutiful daughter, Lisette agrees to wed the cold-hearted Strand, but not without many tears and regrets. After the marriage, one of her past suitors, the charming James Garvey, continues to pursue her. Garvey's interest in her,...]]> Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:34:48 +0200 https://www.bookfrom.net/patricia-veryan/402862-ask_me_no_questions.html https://www.bookfrom.net/patricia-veryan/402862-ask_me_no_questions.html

The Napoleonic wars are at their height on the Continent when Miss Euphemia Buchanan, young, much sought-after, and unattainable, decides to journey from London to Bath with her brother Simon and her young page Kent to spend the Christmas holidays with Great Aunt Lucasta. Along the way, she entreats Simon to detour past the imposing lines of Dominer, the palatial country estate of Garret Hawkhurst, the appallingly dangerous rake responsible (or so it is rumored) for the deaths of his own wife and child. But didsaster strikes in the form of a landslide, and the Buchannan's coach is overturned and brought within inches of complete destruction. It is only through the bravery and immediate efforts of a passing gentleman that Euphemia and her wounded brother and page are rescued at all. But Euphemia's grateful thanks turn to horror when she realizes her rescuer is none other than the infamous Garrett Hawkhurst, and that she has no recourse but to help Simon and Kent...]]> Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:35:09 +0200 https://www.bookfrom.net/patricia-veryan/402867-a_shadows_bliss.html https://www.bookfrom.net/patricia-veryan/402867-a_shadows_bliss.html

The Riddle of the Deplorable Dandy: A Novel of Georgian England by Patricia Veryan
Elspeth Clayton's family has been living in considerably reduced circumstances, and to improve their finances, her brother Vance becomes a soldier of fortune. His assignments take him to France, where he is caught up in political intrigues. Injured in an attempt to escape a troop of dragoons, he is arrested and held in a French gaol for questioning and probable execution.
In an effort to save her beloved brother, Elspeth turns first to his best friend and then to her most devoted suitor, but both are prevented from coming to her aid. Meanwhile, she has unintentionally antagonized Gervaise Valerian, a quick-tempered dandy, much admired in Town, but whom she finds far from enchanting. Valerian has devised a daring plan to smuggle his father, a fugitive from justice, out of England. When his accomplice in the scheme is rendered helpless, he blames...]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2012 21:35:14 +0200
