Love and Other Scandals
Embracing her singleness after suffering through four seasons in London, buxom beauty Joan Benet, who longs for excitement, decides to become the kept woman of a rakish earl or similarly exciting scoundrel and sets her sights on her brother's best friend, Tristan, Lord Burke.
Joan Bennet is tired of being a wallflower. Thanks to some deliciously scandalous—and infamous—stories, she has a pretty good idea of what she's missing as a spinster. Is even a short flirtation too much to ask for?
Tristan, Lord Burke, recognizes Joan at once for what she is: trouble. Not only is she his best friend's sister, she always seems to catch him at a disadvantage. The only way he can win an argument is by kissing her senseless. He'd give anything to get her out of her unflattering gowns. But either one of those could cost him his bachelor status, which would be dreadful—wouldn't it?
