Un amore audace

Lady Helena Laverick is at her wits’ end! The only man who can help her find her eloping young sister is that scoundrel Daniel Brennan—the man who played with her emotions last summer and then left. To make matters worse: he used to be a smuggler! Although Mrs. Nunley’s Guide to Etiquette for Young Ladies would never approve, Helena must go after her runaway sibling in Daniel’s company. She hates to admit it, but being with him is oddly freeing—and a delicious tingle warns Helena that more than her reputation may be in danger . . . whenever he’s near.

Daniel finds most of the prim lady’s rules ridiculous—but when she has to masquerade as his wife for appearance’s sake, he immediately envisions the delights of sharing a bedchamber. The unexpected passion smoldering beneath her proper exterior ignites his desire, and the vulnerability hidden beneath her cool control makes him crave her more. Yet Helena’s a lady, and he is the son of a highwayman. How can he ask her to share his world?
