Passion Fever (Dutiful Wives #3)
Beverley Oakley
When Adelaide, Lady Leeson, learns that her illegitimate daughter, Charlotte, has run away from Miss Prism’s Ladies’ Seminary, she elicits the aid of charismatic Jasper Creighton to locate her.
By the time Jasper, a notorious rake, discovers Charlotte at an inn, part-way through a daring elopement with a man she is starting to distrust, Charlotte is ready to own up to her mistakes and return home.
Alas, Charlotte is placed instead under the guardianship of a woman who puts into motion a plan to capitalise on Charlotte’s beauty with an advantageous marriage that is to everyone’s benefit.
Except Charlotte’s.
Three years later, a wiser, but no less determined Charlotte, makes her own plans to escape her guardian and her future husband.
This time it is she who elicits Jasper Creighton’s help. Jasper might eschew marriage but, as the past has shown, he is clearly not immune to her charm.
However, Charlotte’s daring escape in the midst of her betrothal ball does not go smoothly.
A steamy second-chance Regency romance featuring a determined heroine and a stubborn hero who has to lose everything before he realises what he needs most.
