Ten years later Abigail returns as an alluring and confident
women to
London. When Graeme learns Abigail is back in England, he

wife to make any
scandal and brings shame to his family. He doesn't trust
himself around the
beautiful and tempting woman she became. Graeme needs to
know why she
is back and what she wants from him.
This is the first novel that I read by Candace Camp and I
must say her writing
is absolutely wonderful. I couldn't put the book down.
Graeme tried to fight his attraction but she was determined
to tempt him and
gives her what she wants. I loved her strength and how she
recovered after
he broke her heart and became a successful business woman.
The storyline was entertaining and unpredictable with plenty
of actions. A PERFECT GENTLEMAN
has a mystery, great secondary characters and steamy love
scene. It is one
of those books that I want to read again. Thank you Candace
Camp!
From New York Times bestselling author Candace Camp
comes a delicious and steamy marriage-of-convenience
historical romance in A Perfect Gentleman.
Forced to marry an American heiress to save his family,
Graeme Parr, Earl of Montclair, vowed their marriage would
be in name only. Abigail Price thought handsome,
aristocratic Graeme was her knight in shining armor,
rescuing her from her overbearing father. But when she was
spurned by her husband on their wedding night, Abigail fled
home to New York.
Now, years later, Abigail has returned. But this
sophisticated, alluring woman is not the drab girl Graeme
remembers. Appalled by her bold American ways but drawn to
her beauty, Graeme follows her on a merry chase through
London’s elegant ballrooms to its dockside taverns—why is
his wife back? What could she want of him now?
Torn between desire and suspicion, Graeme fears that Abby,
like her unprincipled father, has a devious plan to ruin
him. But is Abigail’s true desire Graeme’s destruction...or
winning his love at last?
