London,
April 1825
Lord
Jakob Radclyffe left his past behind in the Far East. Or so he thinks
until a ruthless thief surfaces in London, threatening to ruin his
daughter’s reputation. With the clock ticking, Jake needs the
scandalous Lady Olivia Montfort’s connections in the art world to
protect his daughter’s future.
Olivia,
too, has a past she’d like to escape. By purchasing her very own
Mayfair townhouse, she’ll be able to start a new life independent
from all men. There’s one problem: she needs a powerful man’s
name to do so. The Viscount St. Alban is the perfect name.
A
bargain is struck.
What
Olivia doesn’t anticipate is the temptation of the viscount. The
undeniable spark of awareness that races between them undermines her
vow to leave love behind. Soon, she has no choice but to rid her
system of Jake by surrendering to her craving for a single scorching
encounter.
But
is once enough? Sometimes once only stokes the flame of desire higher
and hotter. And sometimes once is all the heart needs to risk all and
follow a mad passion wherever it may lead.
Excerpt
#3 (117)
“And
what in this world doesn’t a woman under the protection of a duke
have at her fingertips?”
Her
own Mayfair townhouse,
she didn’t reply. Instead, she pressed her lips together and held
his piercing gaze.
A
possibility stole in. He wasn’t only a man. He was an opportunity.
She
and he each had something the other wanted. And they each had the
power to give it to the other. It was simple.
Misgiving
seized her. This was Lord St. Alban. Nothing would remain simple with
him for long. She felt it in her bones. But how badly did she want
her independence?
It
felt like a test question. And Lord St. Alban was the correct answer.
Sofie
spent much of her twenties raising two boys and reading every book
she could get her hands on. Once she realized that she was no longer
satisfied with simply reading the books she loved, that she must
write them, too, she decided to finish her degree and embark on a
writing career. Mr. Darling and the boys gave her their wholehearted
blessing.
When
she’s not writing heroes who make her swoon, she runs a marathon in
a different state every year, visits crumbling medieval castles
whenever she gets a chance, and enjoys a slightly codependent
relationship with her beagle, Bosco.
