A Promise of More

Read A Promise of More Storyline:

In
the second novel in Bronwen Evans’s sexy new Disgraced Lords series, two very
independent souls find themselves fighting to resist a deepening passion.

When Beatrice Hennessey sets out to
confront Lord Coldhurst, the notorious rogue who killed her brother in a duel,
her intent is to save her family from destitution. She’s determined to
blackmail the man into a loveless marriage. She’ll make the wealthy Lord
Coldhurst pay for the rest of his life. But while greeting his ship, Beatrice
takes a tumble into the Thames—only to be fished out by a pair of strong
masculine arms that tempt her to stay locked in their heated embrace forever.
That is, until she realizes those arms belong to Sebastian Hawkestone, Lord
Coldhurst himself.

The little drowned mermaid has an
interesting proposition indeed; one that Sebastian is surprised to find quite
agreeable. Although he’s had women more beautiful, she is pleasing to
the eye, and besides, it’s time he fathered an heir. Beatrice promises to be
the ideal wife; a woman who hates him with an all-consuming passion is far too
sensible to expect romance. However, it isn’t long before Sebastian’s plan for
a marriage of convenience unravels, and he’s caught up in the exhilarating
undertow of seduction.
