title: Affair of Interest/The Luck of the Devil (2-in-1 Regency)
author:  Barbara Metzger 
description: INTEREST&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A half-pay pension away from poverty, Sydney and Winifred Lattimore must find wealthy husbands. Well, at least one. Since no sensible man would want a managing female like Sydney, Winnie has to earn a proposal. Of course, such a great plan requires money. But why did no one warn Sydney that London moneylenders could be such handsome rakes?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;THE LUCK OF THE DEVIL&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;War and wicked women had kept Carey Delverson's heart at bay, until he met the enchanting Miss Rowanne Wimberly. But Rowanne is much too practical to fall for that silver-tongued young hero. Carey has no choice then but to sweep her off her feet . . . before the luck of the Devil runs out!
