The Naked Truth
Lady Vivian Worth knows perfectly well how to behave like a lady. But observing proper manners when there's no one around to impress is just silly. Why shouldn't she strip down to her chemise for a swim? When her betrothed arrives to finally meet her, Vivi will act every inch the lady—demure, polite, compliant. Everything her brother has promised the man. But until then, she's going to enjoy her freedom...
A Revealing Discovery
Luke Forest, the newly named Duke of Foxhaven, wants nothing to do with his inheritance—or the bride that comes with it. He wants adventure and excitement, like the enchanting water nymph he's just stumbled across. When he discovers the skinny-dipping minx is his intended, he reconsiders his plan to find Lady Vivian another husband. Because the idea of this vivacious woman in the arms of another man might be enough to drive him insane—or to the altar.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Grace supplies another winning marriage of romance and wit in this delightful Regency. Lady Vivian Worth can be an obliging and gracious young lady when necessary she is engaged to a duke and understands she must play the part but her true nature is more wild and spontaneous. Luke Forest, Duke of Foxhaven, has never met her; he travels to Vivian's home to dissolve their arranged betrothal and help her find another husband. What he didn't count on was the instant spark and growing attraction between them, and soon it appears marriage might be a good idea after all. The tried and true will-they-or-won't-they plot gets new life with Grace's trademark humor and charm. Fans of Grace's previous books will recognize familiar characters. This classic love story is absorbing and endearing.
