Fires of Delight by Vanessa Royall (Dell 1986)

Spoiler:

From the Scottish moors to the shores of a new world, they fought for freedom and love...

Selena MacPherson is a beautiful rebel who was exiled from her native land. She swore to avenge her father's death at the hands of the British.

Royce Campbell is a bold privateer, scion of a fabled Highland clan. He would stop at nothing to bring the hated monarchy to its knees.

From a New York prison to a sensual nightmare of sorcery in Haiti to the streets of Paris ablaze with the flames of revolution, they were destined to cheat death and share a dangerous passion.

A Lady for Ludovic by Sarah McCulloch (Firecrest 1983)

Spoiler:

Served up for marriage, one young woman plans to make herself a very tart meal.

When the Marlowes receive an invitation to visit the elderly Lord Ringwood at Donington, the whole family is agog with curiosity. For why, after all these years, should the Baron suddenly wish to become acquainted with his poor relations?

It is Kate, being the eldest unmarried daughter, who is chosen to accompany her father. But all too soon, as she discovers the truth, she begins to wish the invitation had never been issued. She learns, to her dismay, that the autocratic Lord Ringwood is intent upon a marriage of convenience between her and his drunken, dissolute rake of a son. Kate is to be a lady for Ludovic.

I love A Lady for Ludovic, and was hoping Sarah McCulloch's books would be reissued! Thanks for pointing this out!
