The Bourne Matrimonial Agency has one rule: Never fall in love with the client. However, they never said anything about kissing a rakeâŠ
Briar Bourneâs matchmaking career could be summed up in two wordsâcomic disaster. Unless she can learn about the irresistible forces that draw men and women together, her professional future looks rather bleak. But Briar has an intriguing planâenlisting Londonâs most irredeemable rake to teach her everything he knows about attraction. Given his notorious reputation, itâs no surprise that Nicholas Blacklowe, the Earl of Edgemont, requests one thing in exchange for his tutelage. For every lesson, he wants a kiss in return. And what harm could there be in a simple kiss? After all, Briar would never fall for a scoundrelâŠ
Nicholas has no romantic notions about love, and no intention of changing his ways. Heâs only helping Briar so that she can find the perfect bride for his jilted cousin. Yet Briar is so clever, so curious, so candidâso blasted temptingâthat soon, Nicholas canât stop wondering what it might be like if he was irresistible to her.
Ten lessons. Ten kisses. And a million ways to fall hopelessly, scandalously in love.
