Clandestine
Julia Ross
The Gentleman:
Guy Devoran, without question the most brilliant and
charismatic single gentleman in late Regency London, has
been busy recently helping his illustrious cousins, the St.
Georges of Wyldshay (the dashing sons of the Duke of
Blackdown), find happiness with the most unsuitable brides.
No one has any idea that behind Guy's equally devil-may-care
appearance, he's nursing a broken heart.
The Lady:
She's forthright and redheaded and works as a schoolteacher
in Bath. Haunted by memories of nursing her late husband in
the last weeks of their short marriage, the widowed Sarah
Callaway isn't looking for romance when she accosts Guy
Devoran in a London bookstore. She's looking for her missing
cousin Rachel, who's just been abducted by an unknown
villain, and Guy is the only person who can help her.
The Secret:
No gentleman can refuse to aid a lady in such a mission,
especially one who's so sensually attractive. Yet Sarah
Callaway seems entirely unaware of her own charms, and she
has no idea that Rachel is no longer the innocent young lady
she remembers. Forced to hide the truth from Sarah, yet
determined to rescue Rachel from her unknown fate, Guy can
never let down his guard, however much he wishes to take
Sarah to his bed. If there was ever a formula for disaster,
this is it!
The Chase:
Their mission will take Guy and Sarah from the ballrooms of
London to the smugglers' dens of Devon, where it's close to
impossible for either of them to stay focused on their
quest. Her darkly handsome companion is so very attractive
that Sarah soon falls head over heels in love, though she's
hardly a suitable match for a duke's nephew. Yet trying to
uncover the truth about Rachel's disappearance while
resisting Sarah's sensual appeal is going to be an even
greater challenge for Guy. When passion refuses to be
denied, every turn of the chase seems destined to expose his
terrible secret and destroy forever all of his chances for
happiness.
