The timing of her <em>faux pas<\/em> couldn\u2019t be worse, for her  father  is seeking someone to take her off his hands that very  night\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>HE  CHALLENGED HER WILLPOWER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But when  Thomas Armstrong overhears the so-called \u201cLady\u201d  Amelia slandering his  sexual prowess in public, he cannot help but accept the  dare implicit  in her words. To her father\u2019s great delight, he offers to take her  to  his secluded country estate\u2014properly chaperoned, of course\u2014to teach the  girl  a lesson in ladylike behavior\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s how it all began. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>As Thomas, Viscount Armstrong, digested Harold Bertram\u2019s words, he came up straight in his seat, his hands finding the curved arms of the chair. Although the marquess delivered the request with all the gravity of a clergyman officiating a funeral, Thomas <\/em>prayed<em> he hadn\u2019t heard him correctly.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou would like me to do what?\u201d Thomas issued the question in a soft voice and an even calmer tone, but the sound cracked the air like the report of a rifle.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The marquess gave a mirthless laugh and shot a quick glance at the study doors before shifting his regard back to him. \u201cI am asking you to-to take my daughter under your care during my stay in America.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Thomas suffered through the second such insupportable request in as many days\u2014this one even more painful than the last.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Only the prior day, a peer in the House of Lords had presented him with the kind of offer that sent honest men hurtling full-tilt down the unsavory road to perdition. He hadn\u2019t thought it could possibly get more unseemly than that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>He was wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What Harry spoke of was not about politics and one thousand pound bribes; this was one hundred times worse.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt would be\u2014er\u2014up until the new year unless I could conclude the negotiations in less time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Harold Bertram, the Marquess of Bradford, or Harry as he preferred close acquaintances to call him, was not a lack wit\u2014though many might doubt that assertion at the present time. He possessed the sharpest mind in matters of finance and business, and could articulate\u2014when not suffering a brain lapse\u2014with the eloquence of an orator the likes of which Caesar and Henley never saw. However, his nineteen-year-old daughter could fray the nerves of even the most battle-seasoned soldier. Thomas himself could attest to that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fixing the marquess\u2014who had fallen conspicuously mute\u2014with an unblinking stare, Thomas cocked his brow. Harry must have indeed taken leave of his senses. The chit had finally driven him to that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIf this is a joke, I assure you, I do not find it the least bit amusing,\u201d Thomas replied, when he finally recovered enough to speak. \u201cI mean, we are speaking about Lady Amelia are we not? Unless, pray tell, you have yet another daughter hidden away who is <\/em>not<em> a disrespectful termagant?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A round of uncomfortable clearing of the throat ensued, followed by a weary-to-the-bones exhalation. \u201cHeavens, then tell me what I\u2019m to do with her? If I take her with me, I would have neither the time nor energy to keep her out of her usual mischief, especially in a country where I lack familiarity. At present, you are the only person I trust enough to come to regarding this matter. Perhaps if the trip weren\u2019t of such importance, and I could rearrange my schedule\u2026.\u201d Harry sent him a silent look of appeal.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>At his words, Thomas\u2019s conscience received a faint prick, but thankfully, the feeling lasted no more than a few seconds. In his estimation, voyaging to America in the interest of a business endeavor could not compare to subjecting himself to playing taskmaster to Harry\u2019s recalcitrant daughter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Leaning forward, Thomas\u2019s fingers curled into the napped fabric of the armrest. \u201cIf you requested I take your place at the guillotine or the hangman\u2019s noose, I would consider that less an imposition.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3858\" title=\"loveintheafternoon75\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/loveintheafternoon75.jpg?resize=78%2C125\" alt=\"\" width=\"78\" height=\"125\" \/>As you can see from the first scene of the book, the hero and heroine have a prior acquaintance that is strife with animosity&#8211;at least on the hero&#8217;s part.
