Anne Hampson - Hunter of the East
1973
من يزرع الشوك

Kim Lyttleton's flighty young foster-sister was about to ruin her life by running off with a married man, and her family were worried to death about it.

It was the practical Kim who decided that something drastic would have to be done -- and she was the one to do it. The answer, she declared, was to kidnap the man in question. Unfortunately, Kim kidnapped the wrong man... and the tables were well turned when she found herself in the power of a very angry Greek, Damon Souris, who declared that if she didn't want to be handed over to the Greek authorities on a serious charge she had better do as he said and marry him!

Faced with that alternative, Kim had no choice but to agree -- but what sort of marriage could she possibly expect?

SHE HAD NO CHOICE.

Laura had practically raised little Mandy, but she had no legal claim to the homeless child. And now the authorities wanted to take Mandy away.

Paul Penalis could help her to keep Mandy, but his price was marriage. Was the price too high for Laura to pay, or could she find true happiness in a marriage of strangers?

1973
إمرأة بلا مخالب

"Wanted, good-looking young man to per-form simple task. Few hours only. Generous remuneration."

When Ricky had blandly jilted her in order to make a more advantageous marriage and had then had the nerve to invite her to the wedding, Tara Maine was determined, for pride's sake, to go, but equally determined not to be an object of pity. So she had advertised for a bogus "fiance" to accompany her to the wedding -- and in the devastatingly hand-some young Greek, Paul, found exactly what she was looking for.

It was only when Paul's stern older brother Leon Dorkas, domineering and with the worst possible opinion of Englishwomen and their morals, got mixed up in it all that Tara realised what deep waters she was getting into!

1971
جرح الغزالة

When Andrew MacNeill married Gail he had made it clear that he did not want a wife but a mother for his children; he had not had the best of wives, and his experience of marriage had made him reluctant to trust, let alone love, any woman again.

Gail had resigned herself to the fact that marriage was not for her; a terrible car crash had left her badly scarred, unable to have children, and convinced that no man would ever want her. But she dearly loved children, and had told herself that she had accepted Andrew's proposal because it would at least give her the chance of children--any children--to mother.

But was either of them being completely honest about their motives?

Anne Hampson - Desire
1980

HE WANTED AN HEIR, BUT NOT A WIFE.

Kim Rosswell was young, beautiful, and desperate. Vidas Christou was wealthy, and determined that the child she carried bear the Christou name.

Kim knew she should have told Vidas the truth. There could not possibly be a child; another's lies had misled him. But the stakes were too high.

His proposal gives her a chance to save her father's life. That is something to cling to even after he discovers her deception--and she discovers that she loves her distant husband.
