A LESSON IN SEDUCTION . . .
Miranda Hodgkins has only ever wanted one thing: to marry Robert Carlisle. And she simply can't wait a moment longer. During the Carlisle family masquerade ball, Miranda boldly sneaks into his bedchamber with seduction on her mind. Soon she's swept into rock-hard arms for the most breathtaking kiss of her life. But when the masks come off, she's horrified to find herself face-to-face with Sebastian, the Duke of Trent-Robert's formidable older brother.
Shocked to find Miranda in his bed, Sebastian quickly offers her a deal to avoid scandal: He'll help her win his brother's heart if she'll find him the perfect wife. But what begins as a simple negotiation soon spirals out of control. For the longer this reformed rake tries to make a match for Miranda, the more he wants to keep her all to himself.

Her eyes narrowed as she took in
that bit of dubious advice and contemplated what he asked of her, with a
curious look of deep study and concentration. For a moment, her expression was
damnably disconcerting as she tried to think up a compliment to give him, as if
she had never truly noticed him before as a man. Which inexplicably irked him to
no end. How could she have not noticed him before as someone other than the
Duke of Trent, other than just a friend?
“What you’re asking of me is
impossible.” She shook her head with a soft sigh of defeat. “Every man in this room
knows the rank you hold, the power and influence you’re gaining in Parliament.
As for the ladies, you should have seen the way they all watched you when you crossed
the room to ask me to dance.” She shrugged. “What could I possibly add to what
everyone has already told you about how wonderful you are?”
He stared at her, momentarily
stunned speechless. What she’d just said was exactly the kind of
compliment a man wanted to hear from a beautiful woman . . .
And he didn’t believe a word of
it. When he saw her lips twitch with amusement, his eyes narrowed. “You are
incorrigible.”
She laughed happily. “Perhaps.”
Her eyes shined, and for a brief moment, she shifted closer, somehow rising up
on tiptoes as she danced to bring her mouth close to his ear. “But it is all
true, you know.”
Then she pulled back into her
original position and looked at him shyly through lowered lashes even as the
tip of her tongue darted out to wet her lips. The paradoxical effect of
innocent seduction was mesmerizing, and for a moment, he forgot they were
dancing in the middle of a crowded ballroom. For a moment, there was only
Miranda. And the pull of her was undeniable.
