A reluctant earl, a determined lady, an abandoned cottage…scandal, anyone?
The Earl of Marchmont is threatening Honeysuckle Watson’s family home—but Honey has a plan. She will lure the earl from London with tales of a highwayman, and then she will compromise herself to force his hand. But when the arrogant earl arrives, Honey finds her plans backfiring in a hurry…
Reginald Wanstead never wanted to be Earl of Marchmont, but now he is, he must marry and produce an heir. He wants a biddable wife who won’t inconvenience him—certainly not Honeysuckle Watson with her fiery hair and lectures about his duties to his tenants. So why can’t he get her out of his thoughts?
When a thunderstorm forces Honey and Reggie to shelter in an empty cottage, Honey’s opportunity is at hand…but her treacherous heart betrays her. Has she fallen in love with the devil earl?

Excerpt
“How do you do that? I mean work your eyebrows independently? It is very effective, I promise you. It makes you look quite—”
“Wicked?”
“I would say intriguing.”
Intriguing. Was she flirting with him? A jolt of desire shot through him.
“You had a question?”
“It is more in the nature of a favor.” Her eyes were huge in the pale face.
Well, damn. A favor. He sighed. “Is this about Bottomsley?”
“No.” She bit her soft, full lower lip and his blood surged. “I wonder if you would mind…that is…I have never been properly kissed and, well, I would very much like you to do it.”
She wanted him to kiss her? He gazed at the bitten lip, at her small white teeth, and the urge to explore them with his tongue was almost irresistible.
Dangerous, he should warn her. But the words remained unspoken.
At his silence, her lips closed and a faint blush stained the soft skin under the freckles. She believed he had rejected her. She was hurt. Bloody hell. He slid one hand behind her slender neck and lowered his head. Her scent, lavender, and maybe sage? Jasmine? Whichever, it was unique and intoxicating. Her lips quivered as he brushed them lightly with his own. He drew back a moment later, his chest constricted, his breathing heavy.
“Like that?”
The clear eyes regarded him steadily. “I thought there would be something more.”
Reggie stifled a groan. He was not used to self-denial. “I must be honest with you, Miss Watson. Honeysuckle. I am afraid of the something more. I am afraid I will not be able to stop with a kiss.”
