Entombed with the Entrepreneur

<p><strong>He's a tradesman marked by scandal. I'm a spinster dependent on my relatives. So how do I end up buried alive with a man I was meant to despise?</strong></p><p>At nine-and-twenty I've made peace with the idea of only exploring the world through the pages of scientific journals. I earn my keep by chaperoning my beautiful cousin Vivi and if I can dodge her mother's cruel tongue I count the day a success. Being overlooked is the least of my concerns.</p><p>But when Vivi enlists my help in chasing off an unwanted suitor I'm not prepared for the man in question. Mr. Black-whose giant stature nearly matches the size of his reputation-isn't meant to be kind. Or clever. Or handsome! He's the illegitimate son of a social pariah. How is he capable of making an old maid feel like the most important person in the room?</p><p>Torn between loyalty to Vivi and the urge to shield us both from heartbreak I think I manage to keep a steady hand on the reins of our little farce. But when circumstances beyond our control throw us together I discover that living means more than just finding a way out-it means facing the truths we're both hiding. Mr. Black may be my anchor in the dark but if I want to survive this disaster I must learn to stand on my own two feet and face my deepest fears.</p><p><em>Entombed with the Entrepreneur is the first in a new adventure romance series The Dishonourable Paxtons.
