Featuring a pair of beloved characters from The Heir, indulge in this sparking
Regency romance from perennial favourite, Johanna Lindsey. Ophelia Reid is an incomparable beauty with a
reputation for starting rumours and spreading them. Having purposely wrecked
her engagement to Duncan MacTavish, a future marquis, which her social-climbing
father arranged, Ophelia wants to return to London's marriage mart and make her
own choice of a wealthy husband. But on her journey home, something unexpected
happens.
The heir to a dukedom, Raphael Locke, Viscount
Lynnfield is, in spite of his disinterest in marriage, the most sought-after
young lord in England. He instantly disliked Ophelia when she caused a scandal
to avoid marriage to his friend MacTavish, but having comforted her in a
tearful moment, he begins to wonder if she's not all bad. So when MacTavish claims
that Ophelia will never be anything but a spiteful beauty, Rafe bets his friend
that he can turn her into a kindhearted lady who will one day make a good
match, just not with him.
With her parents' blessing, Rafe commandeers Ophelia's coach and whisks
her - chaperoned, of course - to his remote estate in the countryside. There,
as he tries to show his furious, sharp-tongued "guest" the error of
her ways, he discovers the surprising reasons for her bad behaviour. Soon his
daily lessons with Ophelia take effect and he finds himself irresistibly
attracted to her. When Rafe champions the new and improved Ophelia's re-entry
to London society, marriage proposals pour in. Only then does Rafe start to
wonder whether he hasn't gone and fallen in love with Ophelia himself. |
