Sophisticated.
Scandalous. In fact, Miss Sarah Hamilton, a proper Philadelphian,
finds London society altogether shocking.
How can it be that she has awakened from her innocent slumber
to find herself in bed next to a handsome--and exceedingly
naked--man? The laughing onlookers standing in the doorway
are no help whatsoever and surely this amorous lunatic
cannot be a duke, as he claims. She is compromised--though
she most
certainly will not marry him!
The Sweetest Moment of His
James, the Duke
of Alvord, is enchanted by his unexpected bedmate--and
not at all afraid of her pink-cheeked fury.
True, the circumstances and place of their meeting are
most unusual, but the spirited American who's pummeling him
with
a pillow is an incomparable beauty. If Sarah will only
listen to his perfectly reasonable explanation, James is
sure that
he can capture her heart...forever.
