Description

Engaged in Wickedness Lady Gwendolyn is playing with fire. She has a habit of wandering into illicit places with gentlemen just to see how well they kiss. It's dangerous, but she can't seem to help herself and no one in her family is up to the task either. Sir Edward Murray is the man who can tame her. He may be just the country baronet, in town for a spell then gone, but the vivacious Lady Gwen draws him as no other. So he devises a carefully plotted campaign to capture the lady as his own. But he never guesses the depth of the lady's spirit or the power of her passion. And when he uncovers the truth, disaster threatens them both. Can Edward convince her that some things aren't as wicked as they seem? And that love is the wildest ride of all? Engaged in Passion Francine Richards has one task: to marry an aristocrat. Her life-and a massive dowry-is dedicated to that goal. But as the daughter of a merchant, no one is offering marriage except lackwits and fortune hunters. She's just about to accept one of them when disaster strikes: Francine falls in love. Anthony Pierce is a far cry from a title lord. A bookkeeper in Mr. Richards's hat shop, Anthony has ambition and the skills to revolutionize the business. But he's falling in love with the boss's daughter. When Anthony and Francine cannot escape their attraction, Francine creates a plan of her own. Can the two have a future despite their families' objections? Or will their own desires destroy their only chance at happiness? "Lee's beautifully nuanced characters and impeccably crafted historical setting are guaranteed to cast their own seductive spell." --The Chicago Tribune
