WILL A FEW FLIRTATIOUS STEPS
Harry Norcliffe never wanted to inherit his beloved uncle's title. The rigidity of the ton, the incessant reminders from his marriage-minded mama that he must settle down with a highborn lady and produce an heir and a spare: it's all such a dreadful bore. So when his mother asks him to take part in a dancing competition, he patently refuses. The last thing he needs is another chore . . . until a beautiful, brilliant, delightfully tempting maid makes him rethink his position.
LEAD TO A SCANDALOUS SEDUCTION?
Most women would be over the moon to be pursued by a wickedly handsome-not to mention wealthy-duke like Norcliffe. But Lucy will not be any man's trophy. She could use a friend, though, and what begins innocently soon ignites into desire. As Lucy tries to resist Harry's scorching kisses, he makes an utterly irresistible offer. Enter the dance contest with him, and win a prize that could change her life forever . . . if falling in love doesn't change it first.
Laura Davenport could ring her beloved stepson's neck. She loves Justin deeply - would do anything for him - but his wretchedly rebellious phase is wearing thin and people in the town are beginning to take heed. When Montclief, her ruthless brother-in-law, unexpectedly calls at her home, threatening to take Justin away, Laura won't give in without a fight...gossip be damned. So she does the only thing she can think of: she fakes an engagement to the sinfully sexy Earl of Bellingham.
Andrew Carrington, Earl of Bellingham is not the kind a man to tie himself down to any one woman, no matter how dazzling her smile or how gentle the sway of her hips. But after one look at the desperation -and determination - in this golden-haired beauty's eyes when she ambushes him into an engagement, and Bell is powerless to deny her. What harm can a little rouse be? As they join forces to correct Justin's wayward behavior, passion smolders between them...and stirs longings this devil has never felt before. Could he be the marrying kind after all?
'4 1/2 stars! TOP PICK! Dreiling's first book in the Sinful Scoundrel's series is wonderful! Rife with the Regancy's penchant for gossip, scandal and matchmaking, WHAT A WICKED EARL WANTS is a delightful romance featuring a rakish hero, an innocent widow, corrupt villans and a secondary cast of characters who add dimension, wit and tenderness to the plot. Reasers will find this a real pleasure to savour.' - RT Book Reviews on What a Wicked Earl Wants
