The Lord Trap
Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
She'd rather be damned than leave the Duchess' court to wait on her now-widowed mother.
No, she'd rather be married.
She simply must hurry and kidnap herself a manageable husband. Perhaps her brother's best friend would do.
Lee Waite has returned from wandering England's wilder corners, finally healed from the war. He's ready to marry someone sturdy enough to withstand the winds of fate. That doesn't describe his best friend's delicate, determined sister. She's a creature of the heights of society, which never welcomed him; and he knows better than anyone that her brother's a crack shot.
Once kidnapped, Waite must see to Lady Viola's safety. The more each learns about what the other has survived, the closer they come.
And the more desperate Waite becomes to escape Viola's lord trap before she learns what kind of a man she's captured.

"Lady Viola is enigmatic, vulnerable, and layered. She carries her wounds with grace, as does Bradley Waite, and their coming together is both moving and meaningful." -The BookLife Prize
