Three
words, uttered by the beautifully rakish Lord Welles, leave
Margaret Lainscott speechless. His improper request, that she
play the piano for him in her. . .
underthings is as shocking as it is
titillating. Margaret should never have
asked his help in reintroducing her to Lord Carstairs. But
his friend meets all of Margaret’s criteria for a
husband; passably attractive, of below-average intelligence,
and possessed of an obsessive outdoor hobby which will leave
her free to pursue her own life.
Welles is one of
London’s most committed bachelors, known for his
notorious dealings with women and his part ownership of one
of London’s pleasure clubs. He’s long admired
Miss Lainscott’s unrestrained passion at the piano; a
passion he suspects is not reserved
only for her music. Welles is
certain Miss Lainscott will not entertain his
improper request despite the attraction burning between them.
A young lady such as Miss Lainscott would
never ruin herself willingly.
And
Welles? Nothing would make him compromise his
heart. . .
Until a duet with a
passionate pianist changes his mind.
The Theory of Earls is a steamy, sexy regency
romance with a guaranteed happily ever after and the first in
a new series, The Beautiful Barringtons.
