Dorinda and the Doctor: A Novella — Sabrina Jeffries

Dr. Percy Worth finds young widow Dorinda Nunley ravishing every time he sees her at her cousins', the Duke and Duchess of Lyons. But he figures that a society hothouse flower would make a terrible doctor's wife. Still, when she lets herself into his residence one morning to find him half-dressed, he's as fascinated as he is surprised by the intrusion.

Though Dorinda's angry when she realizes they're victims of the duchess's matchmaking, Percy suggests that they teach the duchess a lesson by pretending to court, then break off spectacularly at the duke's dinner that night. But after a day together -- and a very hot tumble in bed -- they realize they suit each other far better than they ever dreamed. So do they go forward with their plan? Or embrace the pretense that has become all too real?
