A Misbegotten Match

A SCANDALOUS REPUTATION
Pretty and proper Amanda Westford has heard talk of Sebastian Armitage's debauched Caribbean adventures. Now her dear friend, Sebastian's elderly godmother, has fallen grievously ill -- and it is Amanda's duty to summon the rakehell home. Not to worry, though, the prim young widow has the situation well in hand. After all, how difficult could fending off one errant scoundrel be?

A SHOCKING INFATUATION
Cursed luck that Sebastian should arrive so quickly -- and be so devilishly desirable to boot! Though their mutual attraction is instantaneous, Amanda knows she must shun the handsome rascal -- who is not, apparently, all that he seems. But then neither is Amanda. And Sebastian's unwanted explorations into the lady's secret history threaten to turn her world topsy-turvy...and fling open wide the doors to love.
