His Unwanted Temptation — Aliyah Burke

FROM USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR ALIYAH BURKE

Book four in the Heart's Compass series

There are times that the unwanted

is what's desired most of all.

Rake Brenden St.
Martin, known as Bryn to friends and family, doesn't much care for the rules of
London society. Many call him “The Mutt” when his back is turned yet to his
face act honorable and friendly. He discovers his plans to return to America are
suddenly in question when he meets a young woman, his opposite in every way,
who immediately calls to his protective side. And his possessive side.

Curvaceous
wallflower Rosamunde Fletcher is a disappointment to her family, and they never
let her forget it. Wishing to make a difference other than as the daughter of a
member of peerage, she tries to help where she can, but it isn't easy when her
own family is putting on airs to fool their peers. To save the family from
financial ruin, her father arranges a marriage for her to an unknown man.
Determined to find one bit of happiness and excitement before the life-changing
event, she strikes a bargain with Bryn. He will teach her brother to box, and
he, well, he will assist her in her quest to find a man for her to experience
passion in the bedroom with. However, the more time she spends with Bryn, the
more she learns he is the one, the only one, she wants.

The
agreement? Foolish. Bryn shouldn't have done it, but he isn't able to say no to
her and wants to do whatever necessary to make her smile. Before long he is
questioning his own feelings because simply being friends is no enough anymore,
he wants so much more, and soon he will have to make a decision that might change
both of their lives.
