"Compelling, sympathetic characters and a rare blend of passion and humor result in another exquisite gem from a master of the genre. Gorgeously done."―Library Journal, starred review
Julian St. David, Duke
of Haverford, is barely keeping his head above water in a sea of inherited
debts. Though he has a long-term plan to restore the family finances, his
sister has a much faster solution: host a house party for London's single young
ladies and find Julian a wealthy bride.
Elizabeth Windham has
no interest in marriage, but a recent scandal has forced her hand. As much as
she'd rather be reading Shakespeare than husband-hunting, she has to admit
she's impressed by Julian's protective instincts, broad shoulders, and, of course,
his vast library.
As the two spend more
time together, their attraction is overwhelming, unexpected... and absolutely
impossible. With meddling siblings, the threat of financial ruin, and gossips
lurking behind every potted palm, will they find true love or true disaster?
EXCERPT
“I still want
to kiss you, Elizabeth. Rather a lot.”
“That
sentiment is mutual,” she said, setting off at a brisk pace. “But where is it
written that friends can never kiss, or otherwise express their attraction to
each other?”
“I know where
it leads, Your Grace, in the general case. The destination has been sadly
unimpressive on past visits. I’d like to explore where kissing leads with you.”
“You are—”
“I am lonely
too.” And doubtless bound for marriage to some charming, boring viscount with
clammy hands.
“—quite
fierce about this friendship business.” His gaze was on the castle, and
Elizabeth suspected he was trying not to smile.
“I’m quite
fierce about everything.” And only now coming to admit it.
“We shall be
fierce friends then, for the duration of a house party. One shudders to think
what mischief… What the devil is he doing here?”
A coach and
four was rattling up the drive a quarter of a mile away. The horses were all
white, exactly matched for gait and height, and pulling a black coach with red
wheels. A single trunk was affixed to the back, though no crest adorned the
door.
“It appears
you’ve a late arriving guest.” Or a bad fairy calling on the party, based on
Haverford’s expression.
“Not a guest,
a problem. A most unwelcome problem.”
