Sebastian Laidley, sixth Earl of Carleton and confirmed
bachelor, makes a promise to his dying godfather. He will
find his childhood friend, Gemma, a husband in three
months...or marry her himself.
Gemma Maitland has been snubbed by society because of her
mother's dubious reputation, but that's of no importance to
Gemma. She's happiest on her grandfather's estate. Most
women dream of falling in love. Gemma dreams of running
this estate, the place that's always held her heart.
Sebastian lures Gemma to his estate under the false
pretense of Gemma helping his sister plan her upcoming
nuptials. He has three months to work his magic. During all
the balls and soirees, there's no shortage of men vying for
Gemma's attention. However, she is not interested in other
men, and Sebastian finds himself thwarting off suitors
because he wants Gemma all for himself. What a dilemma for
a confirmed bachelor. Or is it?
Gemma has plans of her own. While she works on melting
Sebastian's heart, she burns herself into his soul. Read
this delightful novel and watch the sparks fly as a good
man is brought to his knees by love.
Christine Wells has gifted us with a charming debut
novel sure to win your heart. She's woven a wonderful
tapestry of humor and sensuality with a message about the
healing power of love. I was enchanted by SCANDAL'S
DAUGHTER and look forward to more winners by Ms. Wells in
the future.
She could overcome her infamous past-but not a present-day
passion.
As a promise to her dying grandfather,
self-proclaimed rake Sebastian Laidley has three months to
marry off his childhood friend Gemma-or marry her himself.
But this daughter of a notorious seductress has inherited
her mother's charms, and when she turns them on Sebastian,
he'll long to be the only man who wins her heart.
