Hope is the most dangerous temptation of all… Jeanette Marsden dreamed of a London season, but as one of nine daughters to a poor gentleman farmer, she must pin all her hopes of finding love during a two week house party at Selbourne Castle. But what no one knows, is that she’s already lost her heart to a rogue who stole her first dance and her first kiss. Lucian Zachariah Edward, Viscount Luckfeld, returned to Selbourne Castle in hopes of a glimpse of the woman who reminded him his stone heart could still beat. Only to find out that he’d be sharing a roof with her for a fortnight as a potential suitor for her hand. But Luc carries a secret that makes marrying for love an impossible dream. All Luc wants is to keep his distance, but Miss Jeanette proves irresistible. Despite his deeply held secrets and his confession that he must marry an heiress, Jeanie will make him an offer he can’t refuse. Will she forsake her respectability for Luc? Or will Luc do the impossible and find a way to marry Jeanie and save his family's legacy, too?
Author
Dayna Quince was only fourteen when she developed a serious addiction to romance novels. What began as an innocent desire to read became an all-out obsession with the romance genre. She gave book reports on romance novels, got in trouble for reading during lectures, and would rather spend her time reading than attending high school parties. After all, high school boys could not compete with the likes of Stephanie Laurens' Devil Cynster. After getting her first job, her addiction only got worse. She now had her own money to spend and a car to get to Barnes and Noble as frequently as she wanted. She managed to maintain a somewhat normal life, marrying her high school boyfriend, who was aware he was competing with fictional men for her attention. She soon began writing her own romance novels, inspired by her love for all things romance. Dayna and her family live in Southern California with their two children and three fur babies. She is happiest at home, where she can be with her family and write to her heart’s content. Also published under Ella J. Quince and D.L. Rose.
