Book Description
Lady Ariana Wentworth doesn’t care that the future Earl of Warwick would be a suitable match for her. She has no interest in marrying him or anyone else. Unfortunately, her father has other plans—and to her consternation, the deal has already been brokered, the marriage arranged. The only thing she can do now is refuse to meet her intended until the day of their wedding and hope she’ll be able to devise a way out of this fiasco before she’s forced to walk down the aisle. Or, perhaps the enigmatic and entirely too intriguing storm chaser she just met is the answer to all her prayers … But before Ariana can even begin to reclaim her independence, she must contend with scandal, attempted murder, and more family drama than she ever thought possible. Who knew the road to happily ever after could be so tempestuous?

Book Description
The last thing Lady Cordelia Rutledge expected to find during her family visit to Guernsey Island was a husband. But when an innocent tour of the island finds her stranded, unchaperoned, with her charming guide, an arranged marriage seems imminent as the only way to satisfy her family and salvage her reputation. So much for her tour of the continent… If archaeologist Marshall Compton, Marquess of Daventry, had known his chivalrous offer to act as the lovely Cordelia’s guide would land him a fiancée, he probably wouldn’t have made it in the first place. The only thing he knows for certain, however, is that his plans for an Indian expedition are most assuredly lost. But before Cordelia and Marshall can embark on a future together, they must contend with an ancient cult, run-ins with the Russians (or are they pirates?), and the mystical secrets hidden in Guernsey folklore—all while managing the ultimate folly…falling in love.

Wentworth by the Sea
Author: J. Dennis Robinson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
When the Wentworth-by-the-Sea Hotel was built in 1873, it joined dozens of other resorts dotting the northern New England landscape. Now 130 years later it remains the one of the few grand hotels in this region. In between 1873 and 2003, the hotel has undergone early success, bankruptcy, resurgence under the guidance of a gilded age tycoon, one month as the social center of a major international peace conference, decades as a prominent family resort and convention center, then near total demolition, and, finally, resurrection as major upscale hotel and spa. The dominant architectural feature in seacoast New Hampshire, the Wentworth was and is more than a building. Author J. Dennis Robinson tells the stories of its of-times flamboyant owners, its loyal employees, and the thousands of guests all of whom have made the Wentworth a New England institution. In this heavily illustrated volume we learn of the Campbell family who built the hotel, of Frank Jones, the Portsmouth multi-millionaire who expanded the facility into the major resort, and of James and Margaret Smith who held the aging building together during parts of five decades while hosting governors, presidents, industrialists and dozens of conventions ranging from visiting firemen to librarians. Then for two decades, until the turn of the twentieth century, the hotel was closed and nearly demolished, until nearly at the last minute, it was saved due to public outcry and renovated as the Marriott Wentworth by the Sea Hotel and Spa.
