Dishonourable Proposal by Jacqueline Baird released on Mar 25, 1993 is available now for purchase.

Scandalous love or a loveless marriage gave spirited Annabelle Hatfield very few choices. Should she pursue handsome, brilliant Henry, or settle for an arranged marriage to the wealthy and powerful Duke of Paxton? A Regency romance.

Top fashion model Lena Lawrence offers herself as a dinner date at a charity auction. Since this is her last job as a model, she’ll be able to go back to being Katy Meldenton when the date is over and finally pursue a career as a designer. However, she never imagined the highest bidder would be her ex-boyfriend Jake, the man who betrayed and hurt her four years ago. Why would he spend a fortune to see her again?

Tristan, the Duke of Shelbourne is a man with a mission: find a wife he can tolerate as long as they both shall live. Love is not necessary--nor desired. But how to choose among a dizzying array of wealthy-yet-witless candidates? Hire London's infamously prim and proper matchmaker. Then pretend she's not the most captivating woman he's ever met... Helping a devilish Duke create a contest to pick his perfect mate is the kind of challenge Tessa Mansfield relishes. Her methods may be scandalous, but she's determined to find the notorious bachelor more than a wife--she'll bring him true love. Yet when Tessa watches the women vie for the Duke's affections, she longs to win his heart herself. And after a stolen kiss confirms Tristan's desire, Tessa knows she has broken a matchmaker's number one rule: never fall in love with the groom.
