About the Book
C.H.’s working cover (Dragonblade’s professional cover Coming Soon!)
Their paths had crossed a year ago…
Retired military surgeon, Lieutenant Dean Sampson’s sterling reputation is well known. No one questions his medical advice during his time in the military, or after! His first impression of London’s most sought after modiste, is an uncomfortable combination of attraction and irritation. Too busy settle down, he ignores the attraction. It simmers in his gut.
Madame Aurélie Beaudoine is accustomed to people catering to her every whim. As modiste to incomparables and diamonds of the first water, no one questions her—ever. Her first impression of the lieutenant is irritation—how dare he tell her what to do! The confident physician is too handsome for his own good…and his broad shoulders distracting.
Her past resurfaces with vicious slander. On the brink of ruin, she enlists the aid of Mrs. Dove-Lyon. She needs a husband who is honest, has integrity, and is strong enough to protect her. Will the man who wins her hand agree to a marriage in name only?
Sampson’s good friend, Gavin King, summons him to Bow Street. The last thing he expects is to be swept up in the turmoil surrounding the independent Frenchwoman. His gut deep need to protect her, has him walking into the Lyon’s Den. He is prepared to bargain with the matchmaker. No man receives preferential treatment from Mrs. Dove-Lyon. If he wants to marry her, he will have to compete against the others. But will he be able to convince the lovely modiste that he wants more than a marriage on paper?
