WANTED: A BIDDABLE BRIDE
Henry Ashton, the Marquess of Mandeville, knows precisely
what he needs in a wife: a docile, conventional female
from a wealthy, powerful family to further his political
aspirations. Certainly a gentleman of his stature can take
his pick, so why is he so irresistibly drawn to Lucy
Abbington, the most remarkably unconventional woman he's
ever met? Her wish to become—of all things—a veterinarian,
not to mention her outspoken nature and lack of
connections, make her most unsuitable for his courtship,
though deliciously suitable for his bed. Their attraction
is unleashed in a kiss that promises temptation…and
trouble.
FOUND: A HEADSTRONG BEAUTY
In spite of her boredom with the ton and its fripperies,
Lucy is a smashing success in her first Season—receiving
cards and bouquets, invitations to dance and even to
marry. A fight breaks out over her at the opera, she
nearly loses her virtue in the back of a carriage…yet the
one man she does want offers only dangerous passion. She
is determined to resist the arrogant, infuriating
Mandeville—but can her lips say 'no' while her heart
says 'yes'?
