Dear Reader,
In celebration of true love, here's a Valentine's Day treat--the tale of
two star-crossed lovers who can't see that they're perfect for each
other....
Lady Emma Beaumont and Lord Alasdair Chase were once inseparable
childhood friends, then betrothed lovers. But something went dreadfully
awry, and Emma left Alasdair practically at the altar. Now, two years
later, Emma has inherited a substantial fortune...but there's one small
string attached: until the day she weds, Emma cannot spend a farthing
without Alasdair's consent.
The thought of having to go to Alasdair, with his mocking smile and
derisive eyes, every time she needs money is not to be borne. Emma
swears to Alasdair that she'll have both a husband--and a lover--by St.
Valentine's Day. Alasdair vows she won't--unless he himself becomes both
her lover and her husband. In fact, he's looking forward to employing
every form of sensual persuasion he dares to convince his passionate,
headstrong Emma that she'd rather have him than any other man. Will he
succeed?...or will Emma get her way?
Warmest wishes,
Jane Feather
