Slowly, she raised her eyes to his.
Harriet could not read his expression in the dim light that filtered through the window, but she did see the muscle leap in his jaw. The air between them crackled with intensity, and her pulse responded with a lurch and a gallop. She licked at her dry lips as he moved closer. His gaze fastened on her mouth, sending desire sizzling through her. Pure instinct tilted her head, lifted her lips to his.
The most delicate of touches. Lip to lip…sweet, gentle…almost worshipping. Memories of love and laughter and pure joy. They had been so young. A shared future planned. They had followed the instinctive desires of their youthful bodies. She had felt so secure in his love for her. Before…
Saved by Scandal’s Heir is the second of two linked books—the first of which, Return of Scandal’s Son, was published in October 2015. This is, however, a stand-alone title, and it’s not necessary to have read the first book in order to enjoy the second.
Benedict Poole, hero of Saved by Scandal’s Heir, is the friend and business partner of Matthew Damerel, hero of Return of Scandal’s Son, and both Matthew and his new wife, Eleanor, appear in this book. You might be interested to note that, as a peeress in her own right, Eleanor has not become Mrs Damerel but retains her title of Lady Ashby.
The heroine of Saved by Scandal’s Heir is Harriet, Lady Brierley, who first appeared in From Wallflower to Countess (April 2015) as the hero’s former mistress. The hero and heroine of Wallflower (Richard, Lord Stanton, and his wife, Felicity) also appear in this book.
I do hope you enjoy reading about the dire predicament Harriet finds herself in following Benedict’s reappearance in her life, and that you, like me, have fun revisiting old friends from my previous books.
