The Naked Baron
Lady Grace Belmont is in town for her first and only season before she is married off to a nice but distracted neighbor. Although she begged for one chance to see London before getting hitched for life, her height and lush figure make her feel extremely awkward. David Wilton, Baron Dawson, takes one look at the beautiful Amazon across the room and is smitten. He’s in town to find a wife, and Grace fits the bill. They do have a rapport and share witty repartee, but they soon realize that their family history is a major obstacle. Grace’s father was jilted by David’s mother; Grace’s aunt and David’s uncle were kept apart by this scandal, and it looks like David and Grace are on the same path. Grace is also loathe to upset her father by leaving his choice for her at the altar, unless David can convince her to follow her heart in this sweet and sexy Regency tale. --Maria Hatton
