Frances
Thorne learned at an early age to rely on herself. Yet, losing her job and her
home and watching her father carted off to debtor’s prison all in one day, is
too much for her to bear alone. When a generous offer of assistance falls into
her lap, she ignores her better instincts and decides to take a chance. The
last thing she needs is for the infuriating Lord Lucan Montwood to stand in her
way.
The
end of the bachelors’ wager is near, and Lucan Montwood can taste victory. Yet,
on the precipice of finally gaining freedom from his debts, he’s incensed to
learn that the beautiful Frances Thorne has fallen into an insidious trap in
the guise of a new position. Lucan can’t deny the way her lips call to him and
knows he must risk his own future to ensure her safety.
Convincing
her to trust him is the hard part and resisting her is next to impossible. But
falling in love with her? That’s far too simple.

“You are putting your faith in the
wrong man.” Something akin to irritation flashed in his gaze, like a warning
shot. He took another step. “Perhaps those spectacles require new lenses. They
certainly aren’t aiding your sight.”
“I wear these spectacles for
reading, I’ll have you know. Otherwise, my vision is fine,” she countered,
ignoring the heady static charge in the air between them. “I prefer to wear
them instead of risking their misplacement.”
“You wear them like a shield of
armor.”
The man irked her to no end.
“Preposterous. I’ve no need for a shield of any sort. I cannot help it if you
are intimidated by my spectacles and
by my ability to see right through you.”
He stepped even closer. An unknown
force, hot and barely leashed, crackled in the ever-shrinking space. She
watched as he slid the blank parchment toward him before withdrawing the quill
from the stand. Ignoring her, he dipped the end into the ink and wrote
something on the page.
Undeterred, she continued her
harangue. “Though you may doubt it, I can spot those snakes—as you like to refer to members of your own sex—quite
easily. I can come to an understanding of a man’s character within moments of
introduction. I am even able to anticipate”—Lucan handed the parchment to her.
She accepted it and absently scanned the page—“his actions.”
Suddenly, she stopped and read it
again. “As soon as you’ve finished
reading this, I am going to kiss you.”
While she was still blinking at the
words, Lucan claimed her mouth. The parchment crinkled. She heard an indrawn
breath but wasn’t sure if it was hers or his. All she knew was that the first
press of his lips sent a ripple through her—her body clenching on a sigh of
rapture as if she’d been waiting a lifetime for this. Her eyes closed.
