"Marrying you will be entirely my pleasure."
Amelia
Cynster hears these words from handsome, enigmatic Lucien
Ashford, 6th Viscount Calverton, and is stunned. It's near
dawn and she's risked scandal by lying in wait for him just
outside his London house. But he agrees to her outrageous
marriage proposal - just prior to falling unconscious at her
feet. Amelia is torn between astounded relief and indignant
affront, then decides she doesn't care. She has always loved
him - no other man will do for her - and she's tired of waiting.
Sometimes
a young lady needs to take matters into her own hands.
But
matters of the heart are never that simple. The first hitch
in Amelia's plans comes when Luc refuses to agree to a hasty
wedding, but insists on properly wooing her...in public and
in private. Soon she longs for those moments away from the
watchful gaze of the ton in which she can learn all about
seduction from a master. But unknown to Amelia, Luc has a
very good reason for wooing her. Every wicked gentleman has
his price.
