Hazard Book

Two men have paid Lady Ann Peckworth court. Both have married another. Now, the dashing and disarming Race de Vere has mysteriously come into her life-to assist her in her quest for the ideal husband. Only it's de Vere who sets the standard-with one heady kiss during one unforgettable night...From the AuthorLady Anne's dignified and generous behaviour in Forbidden led many readers to demand a happy ending for her. I decided to do just that with Con Somerford, Lord Amleigh. When I tried to write that story,however, Con turned out to be in love with someone else, and that led to the book called The Dragon's Bride.Con and Susan are now delightfully happy, but what about poor Lady Anne? Con's secretary, Race de Vere, was partly responsible for her jilting, so he decides to get acquainted with the lady, and make sure she is all right. An innocent enough intention. But somehow it leads to brandy, then dice, and finally to a devastating midnight kiss that changes everything.Race, however, is a nobody, in fact more than a nobody, an imposter in Regency society, and Anne is a duke's daughter, expected to marry into the highest ranks. The last thing Anne wants is to be an object of pity again, and that is what marriage to Race offers. What's more, if she fights to follow her heart, she knows that her firmest opponent will be Race de Vere.Read More
