The famous heroine. The plumed bonnet / Mary Balogh. --
"The famous heroine. Cora has beauty, spirit, and money, but no breeding. Yet when she gains renown for a daring rescue, she finds herself thrust into high society. Innocent and adrift in a world of beautiful banquets, bejeweled gowns, and snobbish standards Cora is quickly compromised into a marriage--to a frivolous lord whose interests seem to lie elsewhere. But could piercingly blue-eyed and well-mannered Francis Kneller turn out to be the most unexpected love of her life?"--Cover. "The plumed bonnet. Alistair Munro, the Duke of Bridgewater, is looking for love outside the bounds of polite society. An that's what he expects to receive when he rescues a seemingly disreputable girl in a colorful bonnet off the side of the road. Yet Stephanie Gray, a former governess, has recently come into money and is eager for a proper match with a well-born man. Sure that he's sullied her name, Alistair offers marriage to make amends. And in this unlikely union, Stephanie and Alistair make a welcome discovery - that sometimes it's possible to marry first, then fall in love."--Cover.
