My Elusive Countess

Born into the merchant class, Amanda married into the aristocracy, a fact she would regret were it not for the son she bore to the Earl of Willowvale. Now widowed for two years, she hopes to shield her son from the excesses of the nobility. Unfortunately, her plans are overset by the unexpected appearance of a guardian for her son, the Marquess of Blackbourne, who represents a danger to her resolve to avoid entanglement with another nobleman.

Just as soon as he can locate the elusive Countess of Willowvale, the Marquess of Blackbourne plans to separate her from her son, his ward, so he can ensure that the boy is raised as befits his station. Blackbourne's plans change the second he sets eyes on the beautiful countess. He immediately realizes that he must have her, no matter what her character flaws may be. The countess, however, leads Blackbourne on a merry chase that eventually teaches him that love doesn't recognize class boundaries.

Prognosis for Happiness

When high school classmates Gwen Meyer and Trevor Kendall meet again fourteen years after graduation, both are doctors.

When their paths cross again, they discover the old attraction is still alive and well, but their differing philosophies on medicine and the proper way to provide medical care threatens to drive a new and deeper wedge between them.

Are they now mature enough to work through their differences or will they again allow their problems to keep them apart as happened when they were teenagers?
