Scandalous Summer Nights
by Anne Barton
HOW FAR WILL TEMPTATION TAKE HIM . . . Lady
Olivia Sherbourne isn't shy about speaking her mind, except when it
comes to James Averill. For ten long years he has been her brother's
best friend and her heart's only desire. But when Olivia hears James
will soon set sail for an expedition to Egypt, she knows the time has
come to make her move. It's now or never . . . James has always
found Olivia bewitchingly attractive, but what kind of gentleman takes
up with his best friend's sister? Not that he's thinking particularly
gentlemanly thoughts when she appears on his exploratory trip-three
hundred miles from home!-and incites a tavern fight. No matter what the
devil she's doing there, it's his duty to see her safely back to her
family. But how safe will she be when every starlit night brings wicked
temptation . . . ?
