Synopsis:
Lord Marcus Bowles has stained his family's
reputation for the last time. Only after spending a scandal-free year restoring
some far-flung property can this second son return in good graces. But Marcus
isn't one to abandon a lone damsel on a dark country lane.
One stolen kiss and Genevieve Turner's handsome
midnight savior disappears. Typical. No matter, Gen is finally on the way to
her new post, and hopefully to finding her grandmother as well. Instead she
finds her mischievous hero is her new employer. Surely a few more kisses won't
hurt...

Excerpt:
He grabbed the papers, getting an eyeful of his housekeeper.
Fresh arousal stiffened his cock. Tiny moisture beads clung to her breasts,
shining like diamonds on ample cleavage. Her shift’s white tie dangled over her
bodice, begging to be pulled.
If he wasn’t careful, he’d press his mouth to hers and
cry defeat.
His hips shifted, sloshing water in the tub. “The
thing is what we have is like a game of Fox and Geese. Are you familiar with
the board game?”
A sweet laugh erupted. “Fox and Geese? Yes, I’ve seen
it. Pray tell, what do you mean?”
“Well, I’m the fox, outnumbered and outflanked by
you.”
“Because of this morning.”
His gaze dipped to her pretty bosom. He was the worst
kind of wastrel; everyone expected it of him.
Why not
give in?
Sweat trickled down his temple, owing nothing to the
hot bath. Miss Turner had to know he’d be putty in her hands if she crooked her
finger at him.
“I’m not skilled with household matters.” He forced
himself to look higher.
Dark lashes fringed her patient, knowing eyes.
He grinned aware he was caught ogling her. “You got
the best of me, going on attack at the crack of dawn, no less. Very unsporting
of you.”
“It was well past dawn,” she corrected. “But do go on.
This is quite interesting.”
Her chin rested in her hand. She was close enough he
could count the freckles on her nose. Miss Turner was pretty but not in the
conventional sense. Her jaw was too square, her eyes too dark, and her stature
tall for most men, but her body housed a soul older than her years and he
wanted to lose himself in her.
Fighting for clarity, he tapped the folded papers. “I
have here something to even things out. A negotiation piece.”
“In our game of Fox and Geese.” Her voice dipped with
humor. “And here I thought we were all about cleaning up your unsightly
cottage.”
“A minor detail. Life is about the dance between men
and women.”
“A vicar’s wisdom, I’m sure.”
Firelight illuminated Miss Turner’s hair, the effect
like honeyed threads. Desire shocked his system again, the jolt reaching
between his legs. A medieval device could be slowly crushing him for all the
sweet torture. He was ten times a fool for conversing with her while in his
bath.
His
vision glazed over all because messy hair and freckles entranced him. The
current circumstances defined purgatory—him naked with a desirable woman he
could never, should never touch.
“About that negotiation piece.” She nodded at the
broadsheet.
He blinked, willing the intense wave between his legs
to subside.
“I have a prime item, but it will come at a price.”
Miss Turner stilled and her eyes narrowed. “Go on.”
“I’ve something inside for you, but I think it’s worth
having my chamber pot cleaned all winter.”
“What?” She balked. “You want…chamber pots cleaned. Not a service of another kind?”

Earl. The Phantom of London. That's what the gossip pages call Lord Edward

With a reputation like that, no wonder Lydia Montgomery is horrified to be
dragged from bed and packed off to live with him to save her mother from
penury.
While
Lydia has received all of the training a lady should endure, she's decidedly
un-ladylike. She despises her corset and isn't interested in marriage. She'd
prefer to remain unmarried and spend her time improving her art. But if she
wants a chance at happiness, she'll have to set aside her fear of the earl and
discover the man hiding behind the beast.
Will
Edward and Lydia's greatest discovery be each other before time runs out?
