A Thoroughly Compromised Lady

Book excerpt: A charming beauty’s rapier wit pierces the heart of a gentleman spy in this delightful Regency romance. London, 1835. When it comes to fencing, be it with words or weapons, Dulci Wycroft considers herself more than the equal of any man. Though she is the toast of London, Dulci has met her match only once. Yet Jack Hanley, Viscount Wainsbridge, remains as elusive as he is devastatingly handsome. Among the ton, Jack is always ready with clever banter and a charming smile, but his impenetrable green eyes hint at darkness underneath. His dangerous work leaves no space for love—yet Dulci’s voluptuous figure is impossibly tempting. He’s sure it won’t take him long to discover if her sharp tongue can have other, more pleasurable, uses!
