This review is from: A Perilous Engagement (Paperback)

All the elements that a Regency should have are there in spades. A Perilous Engagement is a joy. With the untimely death of his cousin Ivor, Jason Robards assumes the title of Baron of Harcourt. Sharing his part of the inheritance is his cousin's fiancée Lady Ariel Maitland. She reluctantly reveals her belief that her fiancé's death was not an accident. Jason's feelings for his cousin's grieving fiancée grow with each encounter. Ariel knows her engagement was a fraud; she had been tricked by Ivor, and propriety forced her hand. The plot thickens when Jason discovers that Jane is guarded by a dragon of an aunt who is reluctant to see Ariel wed to anyone but her own choice.
