Scandals in Silk — Gayle Eden

Book #2 in the "In Silk" Series Lady Bronte Myric declared that her brother's friend, Captain Desalle, was nothing but a scoundrel and pirate. But when her brothers, and her father, the Duke of Moorland, need someone to "shadow" Bronte because the lecherous Lord Carrington may be plotting her kidnapping and rape, it is none other than Desalle they look to for the task. Now forced in close contact with Desalle, how will she hide her private, wicked thoughts about the exotic Captain. A man of deep secrets and dangerous reputation, Desalle had already admitted to himself that he wanted Bronte. He also intended to make sure Carrington did not get to her, but also knew his secrets could get him hung, and cost him even his truest friends. The attraction between the two soon becomes indisputable. Yet when the truth of his past is accidentally uncovered, will she choose her fears, and her rightful place in society, or scandalous passion with the man who awakened her, body and soul?
