About this ebook
A Cornish woman auctioned off to pay her husband’s debts soon finds herself at the manor of an enigmatic widower in this gripping Regency romance.
A Bartered Lady
Lord James Harkness is shocked to discover a “bride sale” taking place in his small English village—and surprised by the depth of his feelings for the unfortunate gentlewoman being auctioned off by a disreputable husband. But is it honor and nobility that compel James to outbid the townfolk for the proud, beautiful lady—or is it something more akin to . . . desire?
A Mysterious Lord
Verity Osborne is not sure whether good fortune or ill brought her to this dark, brooding man and his lonely manor house on the moors. Local talk brands James Harkness as evil—but Verity senses a gentleness underneath. She dearly longs for her liberty, but his sensuous touch causes her to stay. However, James must first trust Verity with his secrets if they are ever to share love’s rapturous freedom. And will the promised passion she sees flaming in his eyes warm Verity’s heart . . . or burn her?

What a sweet, sweet book. Ok, the whole thing was not so sweet, the way SOME people acted so badly. But the way Candice Hern brought it all together, the way she described the characters - their thoughts, their hearts - was definitely sweet. I look forward to reading another one of her books.

it was a harsh time in Englandwhen hanging, drawing and quartering were still lawful punishment for criminals. With the horrors of two of the most grusomme of battles in the peninsular wars as a shadowy background the characters are skilfully and realistically drawn. Set in old Cornwall l loved the realism invoked by the dialogue, the settings the characters and the bitter sweet love story. One of Miss Herns best!
