No one writes a Regency romance like Loretta Chase! The author of one of our all-time favourite books, Lord of Scoundrels, we treasure every book from this talented writer. Spunky English girl overcomes impossible odds and outsmarts heathen villains. That’s the headline when Zoe Lexham returns to England. After twelve years in the exotic east, she’s shockingly adept in the sensual arts. She knows everything a young lady shouldn’t and nothing she ought to know. She’s a walking scandal, with no hope of a future unless someone can civilize her.
Lucien de Grey, the Duke of Marchmont, is no knight in shining armour. He’s sarcastic, cynical, easily bored, and dangerous to women. He charms, seduces, and leaves them with parting gifts of expensive jewellery to dry their tears. But good looks and charm, combined with money and rank, make him welcome everywhere. The most popular bachelor in the Beau Monde can easily save Zoe’s risqué reputation if the wayward beauty doesn’t lead him into temptation, and a passion that could ruin them both.
Excerpt: He saw ...a girl with a book in her lap. A girl with golden hair and startled blue eyes, the bluest eyes in all the world, set in a heart-shaped face, all creamy white and pink...
That was as far as Marchmont got. He was aware of his own eyes widening and of a curious galloping sensation in his chest and a feeling of being set on fire then thrown into a deep pool of water. He was equally aware of the way the pink in her cheeks deepened and the way her shoulders went back while he stared and the way the movement drew his attention downward to a figure with the elegant curves of a statue of Venus he’d seen somewhere or other.
All of this happened so quickly that it disrupted the already uncertain connection between his tongue and his brain. Even at the best of times, he might speak first and think later. At present, thanks to the bottle or two or three, his mind was in a thickish haze. |
