Дебютный роман Alyssa Everett
Who could possibly throw over a
woman as beautiful and vivacious as Roxana? Certainly not Alex Winslow,
the Earl of Ayersley, who has spent years trying in vain to forget his
unrequited love. When he learns she's been abandoned by her cad of a
fiancé, he finds himself offering a shoulder for her to cry on. Comfort
soon turns into a passionate kiss—-and scandal when they are caught in
an embrace.
Only one thing will save Roxana from certain ruination: marriage to the earl. The match may save her reputation, but responsible, tongue-tied Ayersley is a far cry from her dashing former fiancé. She's convinced Ayersley is merely doing his duty...while he's sure Roxana is still in love with another man. Are they trading one disaster for another?
Ирония в том, что первым романом писательницы должен был стать A tryst with trouble. Книга должна была выйти в апреле, но увы издательство обанкротилось и роман отправился в долгий ящик. Сейчас в конце туннеля задребезжал свет.
Dogged for years by painful gossip about his father’s homosexuality, the Marquess of Beningbrough—Ben, to his friends—has protected himself by becoming the ultimate man’s man. Passed over by suitor after suitor in favor of her pretty but vapid younger sister, clever, forthright Lady Barbara Jeffords has reached the disappointing conclusion most men are shallow, boorish clods. When a philandering footman turns up dead, the two square off: he’s sure she’s determined to pin the crime on his hapless young cousin, while she thinks he means to shift the blame to her sister. To find the real killer, Ben and Barbara must declare a truce that threatens to expose both their buried insecurities and their growing desire for each other.
