    Gentlemen of the ton…prepared to be tempted<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    Temptation is as old as Adam and Eve. Unfortunately, succumbing to it is as natural as breathing to the gentlemen in the haut ton. For prospective brides bent on fidelity, three of the ton’s most ravishing beauties will help determine the faithful from the philanderers. What they hadn\u2019t counted on was emotional entanglements\u2026<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    A Temptress in Love<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    Catherine Rutherford has been smitten with the sinfully handsome American, Lucas Beaumont, since their introduction the year before. And he appears just as enamored of her, for following his return to London he launches a seductive campaign to ensnare her heart and capture her hand in marriage. Never has Catherine been so confident in the outcome of a courtship\u2026that is until she discovers her would-be groom proposed marriage to her sister first.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Although she and her twin share the same face, Catherine refuses to share a man\u2019s affections much less be any woman\u2019s substitute. With the aid of her twin and two friends, she challenges the man she loves to the ultimate test of fidelity. Posing as her heartbroken sister\u2014who is really anything but\u2014Catherine seeks his solace from an \u201cunhappy marriage\u201d and begins a tempestuous game of seduction where the true proof of his love lies in his ability to resist her charms.<\/span><\/p>\n

    EXCERPT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Upon entrance to the library, Lucas closed the door. She moved out of his reach and turned to eye him directly, chin elevated. “You are behaving quite presumptuously.” She prayed the chill in her voice would mask her roiling emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Lucas’s smile appeared like the languid stretch of a cat on a lazy Sunday afternoon. “I rather thought you liked my presumptuousness.” He made the word a potent caress. “At least it appeared that way on several occasions when I was last in England.”<\/p>\n

    Catherine did not accept embarrassment with the politesse of a lady–flushed cheeks and a timid smile most men found enchanting. Instead, her walls snapped up as she erected her defenses. “It is very rude of you to bring up the incident.”<\/p>\n

    His brows rose, his lips twitched and his hazel eyes held the promise of something terribly wicked. “The incident? I thought it was a kiss. And I recall there being more than one of such–” he cleared his throat “–incidents, as you say.”<\/p>\n

    Scorching degrees of heat burned her cheeks. “It was a mistake and I wish you wouldn’t speak of it again.”<\/p>\n

    “I did not mean to discomfit.” His voice was all feigned contriteness.<\/p>\n

    “Mr. Beaumont, you flatter yourself. You haven’t the power to discomfit me in the least.” She spoke with a bravado she did not feel nor was likely to be able to follow through on should she be put to the test. Lucas could discomfit her like no other man.<\/p>\n

    His gaze became hooded and when next he spoke, his voice seemed to have dropped an entire octave. “Am I to take that as a challenge, Miss Rutherford?”<\/p>\n
