Romance Historical
She raced across the pasture, vaulted a fence, and landed,
stunned and breathless, on top of the most handsome man she
had ever seen. The bemused stranger stayed to capture the
fancy of the brood of orphaned children in her charge, then
stole Lauren Hill's heart with a searing kiss as he left.
Lauren couldn't tell him she was a widowed countess fallen
on hard times. She tried to forget him--until she saw him
again at a London ball. The man who haunted her dreams was
a duke, out of her class...and he was pledged to another
woman.
The ton is ablaze with talk of the ravishing Bavarian
countess. Stunned, Alexander Christian, Duke of Sutherland,
recognizes Lauren as the country girl who's captured his
heart. Duty has forced him to pledge himself to another, to
take his proper place in society and in Parliament. He
wants one night with his blue-eyed enchantress, but will he
be able to walk away from her again, or will he risk it all
to be with the woman who fires his blood and makes him
think of a . . . Wicked Angel.
