title: Always the Best Friend
author: Murdoch, Emily E.K.
description: Always the best friend and never the bride -- it was a trap she never saw coming...
  
  Lady Harriet Stanhope grew up with her twin brother and his friends, never questioning their laughter or their games -- but now she's a young lady, she's desperate for one friend in particular to see her in a different light.
  
  But after twenty years of knowing each other, she's just the best friend, not a serious contender for the Duke of Devonshire's heart.
  
  Montague Cavendish knows what is due to him and his family name, and he is not fool enough to wish for a love match. He'll find a pretty young thing with plenty of money, and that will be that.
  
  Until Harriet -- Harriet -- breaks into his rooms to seduce him. He should resist her; he knows he should. But Montague had never imagined such perfection lay beneath the gown of his best friend.
  
  He's determined to resist. She's sure that he will fall in love with her after one night of passion.
  
  Mistakes will be made, and confusion abound as friendship is put to the ultimate test.
  
  Is it possible for two people raised as siblings to become lovers -- and if it all goes wrong, what will be left of their friendship?
  
  This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.
