Lord Langley and Minerva, Lady Standon, began their faux
engagement with three simple rules set down by the baron's
all-too-proper (and utterly unlikely) bride-to-be.
1. No more kissing. The intoxicating kiss Langley stole
from her lips still has Minerva aflutter.
2. She will not share his bed. (For if his kiss is that
tempting, Minerva doesn't dare imagine what a night in
Langley's embrace will do to her already addled senses.)
3. No scandals during their engagement. With the infamous
Langley back in Town, there is no lack of trouble he can
bring to Minerva's unblemished reputation.
Oh, the wily Lord Langley will keep his word—but that
doesn't mean he won't use every rakish trick he knows to
get Minerva to break her own proper rules, especially once
he realizes that this convenient arrangement has led him to
the only woman he's ever loved . . .
