The last man standing after the original wager made in
Victoria Alexander's A LITTLE BIT WICKED was Oliver
Leighton, and having won the tontine by remaining
single has the bachelor wondering if he's the winner or the
loser of the whole proposition. Marriage appears to be a
great adventure for his best friends, all fallen into what
was believed to be the matrimonial trap, while he, the
winner, feels like anything but. Still, things begin to
look up when a young woman is brought to his country home,
unconscious, without identification, with only an envelope
addressed to his mother in her possession.
Kathleen MacDavid has journeyed from her native Scotland in
hopes of ending a centuries-old curse plaguing her family.
All knowledge of her mission is wiped from her memory and
she finds herself at the mercy of the admittedly good-
looking, if overly suspicious Earl of Norcroft and his most
accommodating mother. Determined to discover the true
nature of Kate's appearance in his life, Oliver devises a
set of tests to determine if she's a proper lady, and
perhaps jog her memory as to her reasons for traveling to
see his mother. Still, it may take a little bit of magic to
get these two stubborn people together before the curse
plaguing both their family lines results in tragedy for
both!
Victoria Alexander's SEDUCTION OF A PROPER GENTLEMAN
is the satisfying conclusion to her Last Man Standing
series. Filled with intrigue, magic, whimsy and Ms
Alexander's outstanding humor, fans of the series are going
to love Oliver and Kate's story. Oliver's tests for a
proper lady are fun and Kate's wit and determination make
her a heroine to be reckoned with. Oliver has definitely
met his match in the lovely Kate, and his fall into
matrimony is a satisfying trip!
To break a centuries-old curse, beautiful, headstrong
Lady Kathleen MacDavid knows she must ignore every rule of
propriety by seducing—and marrying—the Earl of Norcroft. So
she sets off for London, braving scandal and ruin to achieve
her goal . . . until a crazy bump on the head makes her
forget nearly everything.
The thrill of winning a
bet—that he'd be the last of his set to wed—hasn't eased the
earl's pain of losing his friends to marriage. Still, he'd
be willing to settle down if he could meet someone worthy of
his love—and desire. But he has met no such woman, until
Kathleen is brought to him. Suspicious of her motives, he's
determined to resist her seductive ways. But sometimes even
the most proper gentleman finds it expedient to act
improperly . . .
