Griffin Nash, Earl of Devonwood, wants to believe that he’s
seducing Miss Emmaline Farnsworth out of protectiveness for
his young brother. After all, if his brother is convinced
that the tantalizing professor’s daughter is unworthy of his
trust, perhaps Teddy will lose all interest in such an
inappropriate choice for his station.
But in truth, something else motivates Devonwood: a
scintillating vision he’s had of a future tryst with the
lovely Emmaline. A vision too realistic to be doubted—and
too scaldingly passionate to be denied.
Yet Emmaline is not as easily tempted as Devonwood might
have hoped—nor is she actually in pursuit of a wealthy
husband. No, the real reason for her visit to the manor is
something much more shocking… though being enticed by a
dashing earl may prove to be a most welcome by-product of
her schemes…
