Description
The lady's intent is seduction. And he doesn't mind being seduced. . . .
Widowed Lady Charlotte Dexter married for duty as all good ladies are taught to do. Love is for the poets, not for the peerage. Now, with her elderly husband dead, it's time to marry again. Charlotte wants -- needs -- children. Given that she's no longer a blossoming flower, her pool of likely husbands is growing ever smaller. So she studies the current batch of ton bachelors, those she knows are looking for a wife, and decides to hold a party at her estate.
The catch? This party is for men only, and at week's end, one of her guests will be her fiancé.
Lord Marcus Roberts, Duke of Sinclair, or Sin to his friends, has no idea why he agreed to accompany his friend to Lady Charlotte's house party. Known as the ton's most notorious rake, Sin is decidedly bored with the season's entertainments. So he's highly amused to realize that the beautiful but eccentric Lady Charlotte has organized a husband hunting party, and he settles in to see what poor cretin is caught. But as he gets to know Charlotte, suddenly the idea of any of these men marrying her stirs the jealous beast.
But is he willing to relinquish his bachelor ways to secure the fair lady's heart?
