Descripción editorial
Last season, Lady Nina Trent fell for a scoundrel. This year, she intends to choose more wisely . . .
When a duke more interested in fox hunting and sports than womanizing comes to town, Nina thinks him the perfect catch. Sadly, he doesn’t seem to notice her. But Lord Elliot Havenford, Baron Ralston, a notorious flirt, has a proposition: he’ll not only pretend to vie for her hand, hoping to draw forth the duke’s competitive nature, he’ll also give Nina lessons in seduction.
An aristocrat in possession of two dilapidated properties must be in want of a fortune. Elliot’s proposition is a subterfuge, for he hopes to capture Nina’s hand—and her dowry—by slyly seducing her himself. Though he feels guilty over his deception, their interludes, filled with dancing, flirtation, and increasingly heated kisses, are impossible to regret . . . until he realizes he has unwittingly placed Nina in grave danger.
What’s a scoundrel in love to do, except finally risk his heart for real?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A fortune hunter meets his match in a wealthy lady with her eye on someone else in the delightful fourth Regency of Miller's Infamous Lords series (after Never Kiss a Notorious Marquess). Notorious rake Elliot Havenford desires money, not a wife, but to get the former, he has to accept the latter. Lady Nina Trent secretly dreams of following in her brother's footsteps and marrying for love, but feels obligated to appease her grandmother's wishes with a proper match and sets her sights on the wealthy Duke of Fernbridge. Elliot, who has known Nina since childhood, has been looking at her differently since a good friend reminded him of the fortune she's set to inherit. But wooing the innocent but free-spirited Nina will require more finesse than any of his previous conquests. Elliot offers to help Nina land the Duke by pretending to court her himself and inciting Fernbridge's jealousy, hoping that in so doing he'll be able to seduce her. Miller weaves a tangled web around her central couple, but their compatibility in the midst of all the jealousy and romantic intrigue never wavers, and smooth-talking Elliot's secret heart of gold is sure to make romance fans swoon. This is a charmer.
