Suddenly You

Amanda Briars is a novelist, unmarried and nearly thirty, and she has decided not to reach her next birthday without having known a lover. She arranges a most improper present for herself: one night with a man she believes has been hired for the purpose. He arrives at her door, handsome and assured, and tempts her further than she expected. Something stops him before the night is complete.

Then she learns who he really is. Jack Devlin is a notorious London businessman, and Amanda begs him to keep her privacy intact. He agrees to guard her secret, but he sets a price.

The two are poorly matched on paper. Amanda has been raised gently and wants respectability more than she lets on. Jack is the cast-off son of a nobleman, and he has no wish to follow the rules of society. His desire for her only grows once she knows his name.

When circumstances push them toward marriage, their opposed worlds meet with a force neither saw coming. This is a historical romance with a sensual edge, built on a bargain, a hidden identity and a pair of mismatched lovers who are drawn together despite themselves.
