But first she needs some target practice. So she turns to her brother\u2019s best friend, Jeremy Trescott, the Earl of Kendall, to hone her seductive wiles on him before setting her sights on another man. But her practice kisses spark a smoldering passion\u2014one that could send all her plans up in smoke.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>Jeremy has an influential title, a vast fortune, and a painful past, full of long-buried secrets. He keeps a safe distance from his own emotions, but to distract Lucy from her reckless scheming, he must give his passions free rein. Their sensual battle of wills is as maddening as it is delicious, but the longer he succeeds in managing the headstrong temptress, the closer Jeremy comes to losing control. When scandal breaks, can he bring himself to abandon Lucy to her ruin? Or will he risk his heart, and claim her for his own?<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-2452\" data-postid=\"2452\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-2452 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As promised, to celebrate the first book to win The Season&#8217;s 2009 Best Historical Debut, I&#8217;m giving away 3 copies of the winning book, GODDESS [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,12,27],"tags":[307],"class_list":["post-2452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-best-of-the-year","category-contests","category-giveaways","tag-historicals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
