ALL SHE WANTS IS HER OWN HOME
Miss Felicity Chambers is the new
teacher of piano and deportment at Miss Manville’s Academy for
Superior Girls. There is no reason a duke should contact her. There
is certainly no reason she should marry his son. But that is
evidently what the duke wants. Felicity should be delighted. But the
orphaned schoolteacher has long since stopped believing in fairy
tales. If only the duke’s son weren’t so compelling…
ALL HE WANTS IS THIS HOME
Lord Flint Bracken knows just what is
behind the duke’s command, and it isn’t an attempt to secure a
happily-ever-after for his son. The proposal is one of the duke’s
schemes. Flint has no choice but to cooperate, though, or he risks
more than his home. He risks national security. So court a penniless
schoolteacher he must. He should be furious. But Felicity Chambers
isn’t at all what he expected. She might very well be what he
wants…
Read an Excerpt
“Damme if the duke doesn't have
better taste than I gave him credit for,” Lord Flint mused,
suddenly sounding quite merry.
Felicity feared she was gaping.
“Pardon? The duke?”
“The very one. You are quite correct.
The command for you to appear came directly from him, even though in
my hand. He wished you to present yourself here for my perusal. At
least he was that kind about it.”
Felicity feared she wasn't breathing.
“Perusal?” she demanded. “For what?”
“Why to see if you'd do, of course.”
Suddenly she was afraid. She took a
step back and bumped into a table, making something rattle. She
couldn't even find the words to challenge him. Her comprehension
seemed to have disintegrated in the space of a kiss.
“Don't you want to know what for?”
he asked.
Felicity closed her eyes, awash in
humiliation. “Very well, if it will get me out of here.”
He chuckled. “Why, me, of course.”
Felicity's eyes flew open. “I beg
your pardon?”
“I am usually more fond of blonds,”
he admitted. “But I imagine I could learn to like brunettes quite
well.”
Felicity stopped breathing altogether.
“For what?”
She just hoped her voice sounded as
ominous as she intended.
It obviously didn't. He was smiling
again, his head tilted as if assessing her reaction, his hands back
on his hips. “Well, marriage, of course.”
She knew she was staring, but suddenly
she felt numb and stupid. “Marriage.”
He had the nerve to laugh. “You
didn't think I'd want you for a mistress, did you?”
Felicity had never once fainted in her
life. She didn't then. She reared back and slapped the laughing lord
as hard as she could before stalking out the door.
