Book description
A successful horse breeder and self-proclaimed rake, Harry Lester
samples women like wines. But after having his heart trampled upon by
someone he actually loved, he has no intention of falling for a woman
again, let alone be ensnared by the trap of marriage. Now, with a large
inheritance to his name, Harry knows that he'd best start running from
London's matchmaking mothers and widows. Harry heads for the racing town
of Newmarket, only to encounter Mrs. Lucinda Babbacombe, a beautiful,
independent widow. And before he knows it, Harry vows to protect Lucinda
from the town full of lonely gambling men, despite her refusal to accept
his countless offers of help. Lucinda is extraordinary-an intelligent,
tender, marriageworthy woman-but will Harry let himself be taken
prisoner in this most passionate of traps? A successful horse breeder
