Book description
Tristan Wemyss, Earl of Trentham, never expected he'd need to wed
within a year or forfeit his inheritance. But he is not one to bow to
the matchmaking mamas of the ton. No, he will marry a lady of his own
choosing. And the lady he chooses is the enchanting neighbour living
with her family next door. Miss Leonora Carling has beauty, spirit and
passion; unfortunately, matrimony is the last thing on her mind . . .
Once bitten, forever shy - never again will Leonora allow any man to
capture her heart and break it. But Tristan is a seasoned campaigner who
will not accept defeat, especially when a mysterious blackguard with
dark designs on Leonora's family home gives him the perfect excuse to
come to the lady's aid - as her protector, confidant, seducer...and
husband. Stephanie Lauren's last twelve titles have been NEW YORK
TIMES, USA TODAY and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY bestsellers. Stephanie lives with
her husband and two daughters, along with two cats, Shakespeare and
Marlowe.
