Once Upon a Time . . .
Maria Martingale was going to elope. But Phillip Hawthorne, Marquess of Kayne, put a stop to those plans when he learned his younger brother intended to marry a cook's daughter. Now, twelve years later, Maria discovers that the man who holds her fate in his hands is none other than the haughty gentleman who sent her packing—and he's as handsome and arrogant as ever.
Happily Ever After?
Always the proper gentleman, Phillip will do anything to protect his family from scandal, and when Maria dares to move in right next door, he knows scandal will surely follow. She is as tempting as he remembered . . . and the more he sees her, the harder it is for Phillip to keep his own secret desire for her a secret . . .

Quotes

    Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me.
  • Sofiahas quoted4 years ago
    “So kissing me is stupid? Is that what you mean?”

    “It’s more than stupid.” He rubbed his hands over his face. “It’s insane. You make me do things that go against my honor, against my reason, even against my will.”

    “Make you?” she echoed in disbelief. “Of all the absurd, unfair—” She broke off, spluttering with anger, and it was several moments before she could speak again. “I didn’t make you kiss me! I was just standing here!”

    “Whatever you do, it makes me insane.”

    There was no point in bemoaning the unfairness of life. It was best to just get on with things.
