Never Seduce A Scoundrel
(Sabrina Jeffries)
A devoted English debutante seeks to distract an embittered American soldier from investigating her step-mother whom he suspects of embezzlement.Lady Amelia Plume was just trying to help a shy friend by leaving a love letter in the room of their host, Viscount Kirkwood. Unfortunately while looking around upstairs, she found several notes containing names, dates, places and a list of criminal offences. To her horror, she discovered the Viscount?s cousin, Major Lucas Winter, was investigating her step mother, Lady Dorothy Tovey. Amelia was determined to discover the truth.Major Lucas Winter had been a soldier, a spy and a devoted son until a tragic incident during his stint in the military robbed him of his comrades in arms, his honor and his last chance to make peace with his father. For that, he blames the English. Some of the gentlemen (like his cousin) are decent enough, but English ladies come in two types. Either they are spoiled, silly twits (like the society ladies his mother told him about) or conniving schemers (like the woman he has vowed to bring to justice).When Lucas meets Amelia, he is not certain whether she is a twit or a schemer. One moment she behaves like a feather-head and the next she is pelting him with questions about his work for the army and exactly why he is in London at the moment. Is Amelia an innocent pawn or a willing partner in the criminal machinations of her step mother? Lucas was determined to discover the truth.When a heart sore soldier plays a game of tell the truth or dare to lovewith asociety lady, abattle of witsbecomes a matter of trust.
