Tempting Fate — Alissa Johnson

THE FEUD BETWEEN THEM HAS SCANDALIZED THE TON FOR YEARS.

Whittaker Cole, Earl of Thurston, is every debutante's dream come true. Handsome, rich, and a prime catch on the Marriage Mart, Whit is also reputed to be one of the most unflappable gentlemen in all England. Nothing ever puts him in a temper. Until...

He comes within twenty feet of Miss Mirabelle Browning and loses all control. The women in his household believe divine providence sent Mira to live on the estate adjoining theirs. After the hellion breaks his nose, Whit decides that the divine has nothing to do with it. Until...

He kisses her. After all, it was either that, or wring her neck. But when sparks fly, he's forced to admit that there might be something to this destiny thing after all. If he can just convince Mirabelle to give fate -- and love -- a chance.
