Indulge in this saucy Regency romance that will have you screaming with laughter. This is gorgeous sparkling fun and you’ll be cheering for Anthony from beginning to end. If you love the early Amanda Quick gems, discover Caroline Linden. Anthony Hamilton cannot help it. The way he looks, the way he lives, his past - it all conspires to make him a man men fear and women desire. His name fills gossip circles in a seemingly endless, lurid drama. But he’s never forgotten the only woman he’s ever truly wanted but could never have.
Celia Reece knew Anthony well before he forged his scandalous reputation. The young man she remembers spoke kindly to her, made her laugh, and his devilish good looks always quickened her pulse. But Celia’s mother had other designs that didn’t include marriage to Anthony. Now, Celia is widowed, and her mother is intent on finding her a new husband. Refusing to let any obstacle stand in his path this time, Anthony sets out to win Celia’s heart by using the same skills that made him London’s most irresistible rake.
Delicious fun"Lady Celia," he began, laying one hand on his heart, "I must tell you how passionately I adore you."
She hadn't quite expected that. "Oh. Er…Oh, indeed?"
"Since the moment I first saw you, I have thought of nothing but you," he went on with growing fervor. "My will is overruled by fate. To deliberate would demean my love, which blossomed at first sight." He took her hand, looking at her expectantly.
"I -- I am flattered, sir," she said after a pregnant pause.
"And do you adore me?" he prompted. Celia's eyes widened in confusion.
"I… Well, that is I …" She cleared her throat. "What?"
"Do you adore me?" he repeated with unnerving intensity.
No. Of course she didn't. He was handsome and a wonderful dancer, and she probably would have let him steal a chaste kiss on the cheek, but adore him? No. She wished she hadn't let him lead her all the way out here. What on earth was she to do now? |
