A is for Amorous (originally published in Love by the Letters) and Architect of My Dreams (originally published in No Dukes Allowed.)A Is for AmorousAdalicia Beauvais has no use for children and even less use for most men. Plato wasnt a bad sort and Euclid was bright enough but the modern variety of male holds no appeal for her. To earn ownership of a lovely country estate with a delightfully well stocked library Ada must raise funds for an orphanage full of noisy malodorous urchins.As if that isnt challenge enough her only ally in this endeavor is the headmaster Lord John who loves children referees cricket matches and plucks Adas very very last nerve even though she knows his devotion to the children is genuine as is the orphanages need for funds. Opposites dont always attract but in this case they must work together for thirty days or neither Adas nor Johns dreams will ever come true.Architect of My DreamsEugenia Dowager Duchess of Tindale travels to the Brighton shore for a respite from Londons din and crowding.
