The Seduction of Lady Carroll — Joy Reed

AFFAIR OF THE HEART

The very young, very beautiful Lady Carroll was at loose ends in London. Recently widowed, she vowed never, ever to allow a domineering husband to tell her what to wear and what to do. Then her dearest friend and trusted confidante suggested an alternative: a relationship outside the bounds of matrimony.

Lady Carroll was properly shocked...then naughtily intrigued. And once she met handsome Adam Wainwright, she had quite made up her mind. Alas, she had not a whit of experience. She stole a kiss; he became warm, then inexplicably cool. She attempted a daring embrace; he suggested an engagement. The whole affair was going dreadfully wrong, as Lady Carroll discovered that seduction was a most delicate art to master...and that this complex game of hearts contained an unexpected wild card: true love.

Hero: Adam Wainwright
Heroine: Lady Lora Carroll
