Beatrice Crowell is perfectly content living in the country with her parents and her beautiful, brilliant twin sister. But when the twins' godmother offers to sponsor Beatrice and Chloe for a Season, Beatrice realizes a refusal would break their invalid mother's heart. So off Beatrice and Chloe go to London, where Beatrice meets her godmother's son, the handsome and arrogant Marquess of Thayne. Misunderstandings and willful prejudices cause immediate sparks, and Thayne would love nothing more than to dispatch the twins straight back to the country. However, he soon discovers their presence in London is essential to the dangerous assignment he shares with their disreputable brother. He's forced to do everything in his power to make amends including engineering a reconciliation between Chloe and the man who broke her heart. Intrigue, misunderstandings, misjudgments and betrayals land both Beatrice and Chloe in compromising situations with the men they love, but neither is willing to accept the proposal that would salvage their reputations, certain they were made for everything but the right reasons. So how can two Regency gentlemen convince the stubborn young ladies they adore that they want to marry them for love rather than for honor?
Carolynn Carey was born and raised in a small town in Tennessee, which explains her pleasure in writing contemporary romances set in Tennessee towns.
She also enjoys writing about the Regency period in England. The early 1800s, when the eldest son of King George III was named Regent to rule in his father's stead, are years filled with events in which ordinary people were called upon to face extraordinary challenges. Compromising Situations and Carolynn's novella, "A Tradition of Love," which appears in A Cotillion Country Christmas, are set during that time period.
Carolynn continues to write contemporary stories set in the American South as well as stories set in England during the Regency period, so please check back for new selections in the near future.
