Trusting The Earl/The Surgeon's Lady/Marrying The Royal Marine by Carla Kelly

The Surgeon's Lady

As a surgeon in the Royal Navy, Lieutenant Philemon Brittle has proved his bravery countless times. But he's never known the thrill that comes with falling in love. Until he meets the beautiful Lady Laura Taunton, who has turned to nursing the wounded as solace from her unhappy past.

Philemon will need to draw upon every bit of his strength and determination to convince Laura that establishing a life together is the truest path to love and happiness...

Marrying The Royal Marine

Illegitimate Polly Brandon has never felt like more than an ugly duckling – she's amazed when Hugh Philippe Junot pays her such close attention as they sail for Portugal.

Under ordinary circumstances she knows this distinguished lieutenant colonel of marines would never have looked at her, but having his protection for the journey is comforting – and something more that she's afraid to give a name to. Should she trust what she sees in Hugh's eyes – has she turned from an ugly duckling into a beautiful, desirable swan?
