Rogue's Kiss: 2 (Scandalous Miss Brightwells)

Would a potential suitor be bolder if he were told the lie that the young lady he admires has only six months to live? Sweet pretty Thea Brightwells dull quiet life with her crotchety aunt is about to be turned upside down by a visit to Bath and a chance encounter with handsome Mr Grayling. However the fledgeling affair is quickly nipped in the bud by Theas aunt who has no intention of losing her unpaid nurse and companion while Mr Grayling regretfully acknowledges he needs to marry an heiress to restore his familys crumbling fortunes. Unbeknownst to penniless Thea she has an unlikely champion in her well-meaning but not-too-bright Cousin Bertram who has decided to play matchmaker. If the lack of a dowry is the only impediment to Mr Grayling making an offer of marriage Bertram reasons the gentleman would play a riskier hand if he were told that the damsel he covets were destined for her deathbed within six months? Crotchety maiden aunts love letters gone astray and old flames appearing from the woodwork lead to a most disconcerting outcome! ROGUES KISS can be read as a stand-alone. It follows award-winning racy Regency romp RAKES HONOUR.
