Book Description
American-born and raised around the world, Lady Pearl Weston is miserable in England. Though she is English by blood, she was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. When her brother became the latest Marquess of Lansdale, she was compelled to follow him to London and begin life anew. The only problem is, she is far from being as easily accepted by the ton as he is and is relegated to the very fringes of polite Society. Labeled a hoyden and harlot, she wishes for nothing more than to escape restrictive English society. That is until the night she receives an unexpected midnight visitor and her entire world is suddenly upended by a single kiss. The bastard son of a peer and a maid, Jacob Beeston is known as the "Barrister to the Peerage." Well respected by everyone, he has had eyes only for Lady Pearl since she first came to England with her brother the previous year, no matter how far above his touch she might be. However, Jacob knows his place in Pearl's world, and it is not in her bed - much as he might wish otherwise. Still, circumstances have a way of drawing the two of them together repeatedly until one lonely night, he can no longer resist the temptation she poses and gives in to his overwhelming desire to kiss her. Will Pearl and Jacob find a way to break free of what is expected or are they destined to keep to the roles that Society has defined for them? Even if those roles never even come close to who they both truly are at heart?

One Night in a Lord's Bed
Author: Bethany M. Sefchick

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Inexplicably, Lady Violet Denton has been all but forgotten by her wastrel brother at a boarding school for nearly two years! She has been stuck there – and without proper funds – for so long that she has been forced to take employment as the school’s new French instructor. She could never have imagined that her once-beloved brother would abandon her in this fashion, but after such a long silence, she has little choice but to accept the truth. Out of all of the Bloody Duke’s men searching for the missing Miss Denton, of course it should be Lord Alexander Huffton, the Marquess of Buxton, that stumbles upon her in a remote section of Hertfordshire – to his great misfortune. A known rake and an avowed libertine, the marquess is more comfortable in a courtesan’s bed than in the company of an innocent young woman. And Violet is about as innocent as they come. However now that he has found her, Alex is duty-bound to return her, not to mention somehow break the news to her that her brother isn’t really her brother at all. As Alex and Violet travel toward London – and her brother – the desire growing between them flares until one night, it can no longer be denied. Is Alex willing to release Violet from his arms when the time comes? Or will he do what is necessary to claim her as his? This 95,000-word novel is written in the modern, Regency romance style for a slightly hotter and sexier read. It may not be appropriate for younger audiences.
