DO YOU WANT TO START A SCANDAL PB – TESSA DARE

On the night of the Parkhurst ball, someone had a scandalous tryst in the library. Was it Lord Canby, with the maid, on the divan? Or Miss Fairchild, with a rake, against the wall? Perhaps the butler did it. All Charlotte Highwood knows is this: it wasn t her. But rumors to the contrary are buzzing. Unless she can discover the lovers true identity, she ll be forced to marry Piers Brandon, Lord Granville-the coldest, most arrogantly handsome gentleman she s ever had the misfortune to embrace. When it comes to emotion, the man hasn t got a clue. But as they set about finding the mystery lovers, Piers reveals a few secrets of his own. The oh-so-proper marquess can pick locks, land punches, tease with sly wit …and melt a woman s knees with a single kiss. The only thing he guards more fiercely than Charlotte s safety is the truth about his dark past. Their passion is intense. The danger is real. Soon Charlotte s feeling torn. Will she risk all to prove her innocence? Or surrender it to a man who s sworn to never love?
