Megan Frampton’s Dukes Behaving Badly series is back, though this time it’s an earl who’s meeting his match in this delightfully fun and sexy novella!
What’s a lovely young woman doing asleep in his bed? Matthew, Earl of Selkirk, is shocked to discover it’s his new housekeeper! She’s a far cry from the gray-haired woman he expected. Matthew is no fan of surprises, and Annabelle Tyne is pure temptation. Perhaps he shouldn’t have had her hired sight unseen.
Annabelle, co-owner of the Quality Employment Agency, is no housekeeper, but she wasn’t about to lose a potential client simply because there was no one to fit the bill. Imagine her shock when the Earl arrives at his London townhome and she’s awoken in the night by the most attractive man she’s ever seen.
Matthew is a man who lives life by the rules, but sometimes rules are made to be broken…and being bad can be very, very good.
“I
do not normally take on positions myself, you understand, but since
the earl is in such desperate need, and there is no one here”—as
I’ve mentioned several times, you’d think he could have realized
that by now—“who
can fill the situation, I will come along and take care of it. For a
month, no longer.” That would bring her up to right around
Valentine’s Day, and if she were busy, perhaps she wouldn’t
remember she did not have a Valentine. “Is that suitable?”
Now
the man—she might have to ask his name soon, only then she might
also have to offer him tea, since they had become known to one
another, and she still hadn’t
figured out the milk issue—had what she might call a smirk on his
face, only she didn’t know him well enough to know if he was amused
or he was perhaps hungry. In which case she’d have to offer him
tea, damn the milk, and she really did not want to do that. Mostly
because she now had to find out where the Scottish earl lived and get
over there to discover what needed doing.
It
likely included buying milk.
“You,”
he said, and now she knew he wasn’t hungry, he was amused, because
there was a strong hint of a laugh in his tone, only she didn’t see
what there was that was so funny. “You would be perfect. Thank
you.”
