The Naked Gentleman (Naked Nobility)

is the fourth book in the Naked Nobility series.
==Book Description==
John Parker-Roth cannot believe that marriage is necessary for his happiness. He would far rather pursue his interest in horticulture, but if one day he should find a female who shared his passion for flowers--a level-headed, calm sort of female--he might reconsider. Certainly the lovely young woman who has just tumbled into his lap will not do, as she possesses neither of these admirable qualities. Yet Miss Margaret Peterson does have many things in her favor. To begin with, she is a true English rose, blushing a delectable pink. And she is not entirely clothed. Her full mouth begs to be kissed. If only she would not wriggle so…oh, dear. He cannot ignore the sudden vision of her in his bed, but he must.
What? Is Meg actually asking him to kiss her? Well, well, well. John Parker-Roth is a gentleman, first and foremost. And he cannot turn down a lady’s request…

==Excerpt==
Meg contented herself with the fiercest glare she could manage. “At the risk of repeating myself, Mr. Parker-Roth--go away!”
“And at the risk of repeating myself, Miss Peterson, no. I am not leaving you alone in this garden.”
She really, really would like to kick him.
“Sir, you are not my keeper--”
“Bloody hell, woman.” Mr. Parker-Roth transferred his grip to her shoulders--he looked as though he would have preferred to put his hands around her neck. “Someone needs to be your damn keeper and I don’t see a blasted queue forming for that honor.”
“I do not need a kee--mphft.”
The annoying man had covered her mouth with his own.
