Josephine Atworthy is shocked by the goings-on at her rich neighbor's house
party. Quite shocked. But her demure charm beguiles a
mysterious nobleman, who begs a kiss--then another. And in a twinkling they
fall head over heels in love...
Lady Noughton whispered
something in Mr. Parker-Roth’s ear that caused him to smile in an
exceedingly warm, terribly unsettling way. Something dark and hot and
sinful pulsed between them.
Something dark and hot
throbbed deep in Jo. Sin. It was thick around her. And temptation
in the form of the Prince of Hearts stood right at her elbow.
She must resist. She must
remember her virtue. She would rather die than part with it.
Wouldn’t she?
She glanced around the room
as Lord Greyham pulled another man’s name. Yes, of course. She’d defend
her honor to her last breath if any of these idiots tried to take it from
her.
“Lord Damian Kenderly.”
Oh! Except perhaps Lord
Kenderly.
Her palms blossomed with
dampness. What if her name wasn’t chosen? She had only a one in three
chance of being paired with the earl.
What was she thinking? She
should be happy if one of the other ladies’ names was called. Then
she wouldn’t be tempted to sin...but she’d be matched with the fat, balding
man or the thin, spotted boy. Her stomach twisted.
“Miss Josephine Atworthy.”
She stopped breathing. The
dark, throbbing, sinful feeling smoldered deep inside her. She closed her
eyes.
“Are you all right, Miss
Atworthy?”
Lord Kenderly’s voice was
quiet, concerned, deep, and male. It acted like wind on coals, causing hot
need to blaze and roar through her.
Virtue. She must hold on to
her virtue.
She swallowed and cleared
her throat. “Yes,” she said and looked up at him.
Big, big mistake.
