[Naked Nobility 03] • Le marquis mis à nu

_The Man Is Practical_

As marriage proposals go, Charles Draysmith's suit is as romantic as the moors

in December. Emma Peterson might be only a vicar's daughter, and he the new

Marquis of Knightsdale, and perhaps he would rather marry her than endure the

marriage mart. But when he suggests how much he'll enjoy securing an heir,

well, a lady can only endure so much.

_But The Lady Is Passionate_

There's something about a woman throwing pottery at a man that piques his

interest. Perhaps his proposal lacks grace, Charles thinks. But it does seem a

perfect solution. He acquires a wife; his young charges have the mother they

so desperately need, and Emma gains security and position. You see? Simple.

Practical. Sensib- oh no, not the ceramic dog...

He will have to confess the truth to calm her down. And the truth is, he's

madly in love...
