Regimental Strategy in a Quest for Love ... Tall, blond, intelligent, and ambitious, Major James Jessop cuts a fine figure in the King's army, and as a second son, he is content to make a lifelong career in the military. But the sudden death of his older brother brings him home to Gloucestershire from Spain to assume responsibility for his mother, his widowed sister-in-law, and his two young nieces. Although he is in his element on the battlefield, the new Earl of Fairford finds himself ill-equipped to sort out the complex domestic politics of Ashford Abbey, his boyhood home. He turns for advice to his good friend Robert Rothwell, Viscount Kilworth, and his father Stephen Rothwell, Lord Tenbury, whose estate, Haverhill, is a model of well-managed efficiency. After a string of bizarre events at Ashford Abbey, Lord Fairford is convinced that he must seek respite from his beloved home, and he accepts Viscount Kilworth's invitation to join the Rothwell family in London for the social season. There, his life will change forever when his heart is captured by a beautiful young woman, Lady Harriet Rothwell, Kilworth's younger sister. She is no more than polite to Fairford, unaware that he has decided to make her his own. Drawing upon a lifetime of military skill and strategy, Fairford plans a campaign to win her for his wife. But even wealth and luck cannot prevent adversity from entering the lives of two people very much in love. Lord Fairford will face unexpected foes as events from the past and present intrude on his plans. Deftly written and full of richly drawn characters, Lord Fairford's Campaign will draw you even further into the lives of the Rothwells, whose story began in Lord Tenbury's Dilemma.

Informed by his steward that an earl and a young woman have rented a farmer's cottage on his estate, Robert Rothwell, Earl of Tenbury, decides to investigate. The peer turns out to be a six year old boy and the young woman his aunt, Charlotte Bishop. Tenbury is thwarted by Miss Bishop in his initial efforts to ascertain why the odd pair is living in such poverty. Annoyed by her attitude, he doggedly pursues his inquiries, assisted by friends and family. Meanwhile the beautiful young woman and her nephew, Will, win the hearts of a number of his relatives. She welcomes their friendship and warmth but remains cool and aloof toward Tenbury himself. He eventually makes discoveries that lead to dramatic changes in the lives of Charlotte Bishop and the child. Discoveries of another sort draw the inquisitive Tenbury and the prickly, proud Charlotte together in a romantic tale laced with pathos, passion, and humor.
