Refinement is everything in the drawing rooms of the ton. But behind closed doors, a world of scandalous passion awaits. . .
A Gentleman Without Scruples
Patience Waverly has no time for uppity English aristocrats—and no desire to become one. But when Patience and her twin, Prudence, arrive in London from Philadelphia to claim an inheritance, she discovers that she is now a Baroness. Prudence, meanwhile, is determined to marry into a title of her own. She sets her cap at Max Purefoy, the future Duke of Sunderland—and, to Patience's dismay, the most seductive scoundrel she has ever met. . .
A Desire Without Limits
Max has little interest in frivolous Prudence, but the outspoken, outrageously attractive Baroness intrigues him. When Prudence's plan to entrap Max almost ruins him, he seeks amends from Patience. She must become his wife. And he will settle for nothing less than making their union one of unrelenting, unending pleasure. . .

      Lejeune (Christmas with the Duchess) staffs her latest Regency romance with such farcical stereotypes that they might as well wear Punch and Judy masks. Twin 20-year-old Americans—Patience, a tactless know-it-all, and Prudence, a sulky, stupid brat—take on the mean-spirited London elite to claim a questionable inheritance. The “hero” is Max Purefoy, debauched heir of the duke of Sunderland, who drunkenly assaults Patience in the first chapter and then avoids her to dally with Prudence. Secondary plots and predictable twin-related twists abound. The humor is broad enough to be offensive, the characters have no emotional connection, and the play with strict social codes that defines the genre is discarded in favor of pratfalls. Superficial screwball comedy does have an audience, and Lejeune may find it, but those who love Regency romance will come away empty.
