Beyond a Wicked Kiss by Jo Goodman

description

Wicked games and forbidden desires are the order of the day in the latest installment of bestselling author Jo Goodman's Compass Club quartet, as Evan Marchman--West to his friends--undertakes a dangerous mission that leads to unexpected temptation...
Evan Marchman has just inherited a title, lands, and a fortune--but is miserable as the new Duke of Westphal, preferring the intrigue and adventures of the Compass Club to the responsibilities of an estate. More promisingly, he has also gained a ward--a beautiful woman who asks for his aid in unraveling a mystery that will draw them both into a world of hidden pleasures...

Headmistress of a ladies academy, Ria Ashby desperately needs West's help to find a student who has disappeared without a trace. Yet she cannot help but be distracted by the promise of passion behind the duke's green eyes and roguish grin. Soon their search for the missing girl leads them to a secret society comprised of the school's board of governors--an inner sanctum where sensuality rules--and power seduces...
