The Lord Trap

Book excerpt: He can afford to indulge Lady Viola in a little kidnapping. Not forever; since the war, Mr. Waite doesn't believe in forever. That's fine with Viola; neither does she. Lady Viola doesn't make mistakes. So her yearning for lonely Lord Callendar can't be wrong. Her powerful friends and family are about to discover that secretly, she's ruthless—because she'll do anything to have him. Even marry someone else. Bradley Waite has found solace drifting with England's winds. He's not prepared to be kidnapped by his best friend's delicate, determined sister. He may despise the rules of polite society, but he knows better than anyone that Lady Viola's brother is a crack shot. If she's got to get married to have the man of her dreams, so be it. But Waite must escape Lady Viola's lord trap before she learns what kind of man she's captured. -- The Duchess of Talbourne’s maids in waiting will finally find love; these are Maids Done Waiting! Fans of Judith Lynne’s What a Duchess Does will be delighted to return to Talbourne House for the love stories of Selene and Nicholas’ friends, but anyone can enjoy The Lord Trap as a standalone book. Stay tuned for Virginia’s happily-ever-after!
