Now, she is stuck in an undesirable marriage to Mr. Edward Bennet, a man desperate in his own way for a male heir. But as she is still carrying a smoldering desire for the handsome Colonel Miller, Mrs. Bennet must constantly find new, clever ways to avoid her husband's lascivious advances until she is once again reunited with her dashing Colonel. Except that the best-laid plans of a woman in good standing can so often go awry, especially when her contrary husband has plans and desires of his own . . .From the Trade Paperback edition.

Those are just added bonuses. <P><P>Author’s Note: Sometimes I write villains who are subtle and nuanced. This is not one of those times. The Terrible Nephew is terrible, and terrible things happen to him. Sometime villains really are bad and wrong, and sometimes, we want them to suffer a lot of consequences.
Mrs. Mike
by Benedict Freedman Nancy FreedmanMrs. Mike is first and foremost a love story, the story of Kathy, a young Irish Boston girl, and Sergeant Mike, a Canadian Mountie, who is priest, doctor, and magistrate to all in a great wilderness of millions of square miles. It is the story of the start of young love, its growth to maturity, and its acceptance of a dangerous, hard, but enthralling life. Kathy's and Mike's lives embrace a score of unforgettable characters, whose destinies are played out against the tremendous background of the wilderness, at times beautiful, at times terrifying and overwhelming. The level of sheer entertainment is extraordinarily high. There is an acceptance of the hardness, the chances, the essential goodness of life lived close to nature that rings very true, and the dual authorship of the| book gives both the male and the female characters an added authenticity, a real tenderness and romance to Mike and Kathy that are rare and precious. Mrs. Mike is emotional, and refreshing. It doesn't pose any great questions to the reader or offer solution to life; it is a curiously lyrical solution in itself.

Mrs. Poe
by Lynn CullenA writer and his demons. A woman and her desires. A wife and her revenge... Inspired by literature's most haunting love triangle, award-winning author Lynn Cullen delivers a pitch-perfect rendering of Edgar Allan Poe, his mistress's tantalizing confession, and his wife's frightening obsession... in this "intelligent, sexy, and utterly addictive" (M. J. Rose) new masterpiece of historical fiction. 1845: New York City is a sprawling warren of gaslit streets and crowded avenues, bustling with new immigrants and old money, optimism and opportunity, poverty and crime. Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" is all the rage--the success of which a struggling poet like Frances Osgood can only dream. As a mother trying to support two young children after her husband's cruel betrayal, Frances jumps at the chance to meet the illustrious Mr. Poe at a small literary gathering, if only to help her fledgling career. Although not a great fan of Poe's writing, she is nonetheless overwhelmed by his magnetic presence-- and the surprising revelation that he admires "her" work. What follows is a flirtation, then a seduction, then an illicit affair... and with each clandestine encounter, Frances finds herself falling slowly and inexorably under the spell of her mysterious, complicated lover. But when Edgar's frail wife Virginia insists on befriending Frances as well, the relationship becomes as dark and twisted as one of Poe's tales. And like those gothic heroines whose fates are forever sealed, Frances begins to fear that deceiving Mrs. Poe may be as impossible as cheating death itself...
