Lady Harper (London Ladies Book 4)

High-spirited, independent, and rebellious, Lady Harper has no intention of finding a husband. And why should she, when every man sheâ€™s ever met has bored her to tears? That is, every man except for oneâ€¦

The Duke of Greenwood may be many things - arrogant, rakish, and a cad, to name a few - but boring he isnâ€™t. After a chance encounter with Harper leaves him entranced, he vows to make her his wifeâ€¦The only problem? She canâ€™t stand the sight of him.

But the duke is a man accustomed to getting what he wants, and heâ€™s determined to have Harperâ€¦no matter the cost.

Chapter Two Excerpt

â€œTell me,â€ Doyle drawled, taking secret pleasure in the way Harper's eyes lit up as though she were anticipating a battle, â€œdo you make it a habit of being perverse?â€

â€œDo you make it a habit of being overbearing and pompous?â€ she countered, her sugary tone at odds with her harsh words.

Doyleâ€™s grin expanded. Was it any wonder heâ€™d known almost from the first moment they met that she was destined to be the woman he married?

Some men - no doubt most men - wanted a sweet, docile wife. One who would obey their every command without question and never argue. Or, at the very least, one with wealthy parents and a generous dowry. But given that he already had a foxhound who never disagreed with him and enough wealth to last seven lifetimes, Doyle wanted something else.

He wanted a woman who looked at him and saw more than just his title. A woman who challenged him. A woman who knew her own mind and wasnâ€™t afraid to be herself.

A woman heâ€™d begun to fear did not existâ€¦

Until Harper, with all her snide remarks and moody scowls, waltzed into his life.
No, not waltzed, Doyle thought silently as the corners of his eyes crinkled with hidden amusement. More like stomped. Yes. Stomped is the perfect word for it.

â€œThat depends,â€ he said, gesturing for her to duck as they passed beneath a low hanging branch of wisteria. Ahead of them Mary and her mother marched arm in arm, their heads bent close together as they chattered away like two magpies.

Straightening back up on the other side of the wisteria, Harper regarded him suspiciously beneath dark winged eyebrows. â€œOn what?â€ she asked.

â€œOn whose company I am currently keeping.â€

â€œAnd here I was under the impression you were pompous and overbearing all the time.â€

â€œNo,â€ he said, shaking his head. â€œTruth be told, people often find me quite charming.â€

â€œAre these peopleâ€¦your servants?â€ she ventured.

Doyle chuckled. He couldnâ€™t help himself. â€œI may very well be pompous and overbearing but you, my dear, are audaciously cheeky.

She frowned at him. â€œI am not â€˜your dearâ€™.â€

â€œNot yet.â€

â€œNot ever,â€ she corrected.

Patting the arm sheâ€™d reluctantly tucked beneath his when theyâ€™d begun their stroll, Doyle merely smiled and said, â€œWe shall see, Lady Harper. We shall see.â€
