Book excerpt: One scandal leads to another when a desperate woman must turn to her handsome rival for help in this Regency romance. Mark Hunter manages to vex Emily Beaumont at every opportunity—and seems to enjoy doing so. While it gives her no pleasure to ask the irritatingly handsome man for a favor, Mark is the only man who can help Emily find her missing brother. Assuming the young man is merely hiding from his creditors, Mark is happy to be of service to the delectable Miss Beaumont. And when it becomes clear that Emily is truly in danger, Mark is determined to keep her safe. With disgrace just a breath away, Emily aches for Mark’s strong arms to comfort her. Yet she holds a secret—one that will surely prevent any gentleman from considering her as a suitable bride . . .
