Tristan Wemyss, Earl of
Trentham, never expected he'd need to wed within a year or forfeit his
inheritance. But he is not one to bow to the matchmaking mamas of the
ton. No, he will marry a lady of his own choosing. And the lady he
chooses is the enchanting neighbor living with her family next door.
Miss Leonora Carling has beauty, spirit and passion; unfortunately,
matrimony is the last thing on her mind . . .
To Leonora,
Tristan's kisses are oh-so-tempting, but once bitten, forever shy, she
has determinedly turned her back on marriage. But Tristan is a seasoned
campaigner who will not accept defeat. And when a mysterious man
attempts to scare Leonora and her family from their home, Tristan
realizes he's been given the perfect excuse to offer his services—as
protector, seducer and, ultimately, husband.
