Marjorie Farrell did not do very many books, but each one is a guaranteed good read - engaging, rational, well written and not over the top. My favorite of hers is Red Red Rose, which is a classic of the Waterloo years. I so wish she had done more books.

To the haughty Countess of Alverstone, Honora was an adventuress, trying to snare the Countess's son.
To Miranda, Honora's adoring daughter, Honora was a saint, giving and giving up all to raise Miranda in comfort.
To the devasting Viscount Marcus Vane, Honora was the only woman with the beauty and brilliance to make him want to wed.
But only Honora knew the truth about herself--the truth too shocking to tell no matter what its cost to hide....
