Gideon Cole is having a bad week: his "almost" engagement to
the wealthy, beautiful Lady Constance Clary is suddenly
threatened by the appearance of a serious rival—Lord Jarvis,
who already has a title and a fortune, whereas Gideon's
primary assets are...well, smoldering eyes and rogueish
charm. And then a pickpocket with extraordinary eyes nearly
makes off with Gideon's grandfather's watch— and knees him
in the cods to escape his grip.
Things seem to be looking up when the magical gift of thirty
pounds makes it possible for Gideon to buy the townhouse
Constance has been coveting, but fate, of course, has other
ideas...
Julian Spenser, the
powerful
Marquess Dryden, dictates London fashion simply by virtue
of being: He tolerates only the finest, the most beautiful;
he’s said to be cold and precise in all things, including
the acquiring and dismissal of mistresses. And now he’s
found the ideal heiress bride to help him restore the
ancestral lands his feckless father lost years ago.
But one
unforgettable chance encounter with Lisbeth’s Redmond’s
paid companion, Phoebe Vale, unthinkably unravels Jules’s
control. Hardly a heart-stopping beauty, orphan and
schoolteacher Phoebe Vale’s disciplined surface hides a
wild heart and wicked humor. Their connection is
irresistible; one stolen kiss and Jules knows he must
possess her.
But when Phoebe spurns his offer to
become his
mistress--they part forever, pride singed, hearts bruised.
But when the brief light of Jules’s attention inadvertently
leads to Phoebe becoming all the rage in the ton and the
object of every young blood’s desire, he’s wild with
jealousy, and they both battle with pride and passion. For
the cost of winning their heart’s desire is only everything
else they’d ever wanted.
