Charlotte and Stuart are two of the most enchanting characters I have read about in a long time. In the beginning they antagonize each other relentlessly. This, of course, changes to attraction which inevitably gets them caught up in solving the mystery of Charlotte's ward's disappearance. Instead of a libertine, Stuart shows himself to be a caring, honorable man. There are also tons of family secrets. A most enjoyable read.
Actually this book is a keeper! Story of a handsome fortune hunter and a beautiful widow
who is the guardian of his pursued heiress.
who is the guardian of his pursued heiress.
Very Sensual~
Good read!
HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO MARRY AN HEIRESS? Not terribly, Sutart Drake thinks, if you're good-looking, charming, and in line for a Viscount title, which, fortunately, he is. To end his penniless existence, he simply has to convince his intended bride's shrewish, wizened old guardian that he isn't a fortune hunter... which, unfortunately, he is in the extreme. Still, once he meets the old witch, how difficult could it prove to charm her?
Quite, actually. Especially when the lady in question is temptation made flesh-a gorgeous widow with a reputation for knowing a rake when she sees one, having bedded many herself. She'd rather die than let Stuart win. And with his plans thwarted, Stuart has only one option: to take revenge on his tormentor through seduction. But learning what this woman needs might only leave him hungry for more....(from the back cover).
This is only part of the story... there's a whole lot more to go!
Very enjoyable!
