title: The Scoundrel's Vow
author: Sherri Browning
description: Can a feisty young miss find love and marriage with Sir Scarborough Weston, whom she's adored since childhood? The odds are against Calandra Locke in Browning's debut RegencyAnot only is she the daughter of Scarborough's servant, and educated at Scarborough's expense, but the nobleman's shrewish aunt clearly wishes to keep them apart. Furthermore, Scarborough has vowed never to marry and thereby avoid hurting a woman as his philandering father hurt his mother. The scoundrel Scarborough is the most intriguing element. Calandra is one-dimensional, no match for the roguish lord, and her schemes to win his heart quickly wear thin.Although the lead characters lack the chemistry necessary for a romance to succeed, Browning demonstrates potential, especially in her sympathetic depiction of the lovers' backgrounds.

  The Jealous Love of a Scoundrel
  
  How do you fight a calling that comes from your soul?
  
  Lillian is in love with her charming protector. He brings her gifts and gives
  himself to her at night, but she knows nothing of his days; all she knows is
  that with Peter visiting her she is happier than she has ever been. The way he
  touches her and treats her is so different from other men.
  
  Emily is excited, hopeful and expectant, waiting on the moment that everything
  seems to be leading towards. Lord Peter Brooke has courted her for a year; she
  is awaiting his proposal, certain it will come very soon, and everything he
  does indicates that it will.
  
  Peter is torn; his soul is seeking one thing, but his mind wants another, and
  what about his heart? Where does his heart lie?
