Unlaced — Kristina Cook

Wanted: A Biddable Bride
Henry Ashton, the Marquess of Mandeville, knows precisely what he needs in a wife: a docile, conventional female from a wealthy, powerful family to further his political aspirations. Certainly a gentleman of his stature can take his pick, so why is he so irresistibly drawn to Lucy Abbington, the most remarkably unconventional woman he's ever met? Her wish to become -- of all things -- a veterinarian, not to mention her outspoken nature, make her most unsuitable for his courtship, though deliciously suitable for his bed. Their attraction is unleashed in a kiss that promises temptation...and trouble.


Found: A Headstrong Beauty
In spite of her boredom with the ton and its fripperies, Lucy is a smashing success in her first Season -- receiving cards and bouquets, invitations to dance and even to marry. A fight breaks out over her at the opera, she nearly loses her virtue in the back of a carriage...yet the one man she does want offers only dangerous passion. She is determined to resist the arrogant, infuriating Ashton -- but can her lips say "no" while her heart says "yes"?
