The proposition
No man, gentleman or otherwise, has ever looked at Lady Edwina Bollash the way the brash, handsome man standing before her is doing now. Edwina has accepted the challenge to transform incorrigible Mich Tremore into a gentleman in just six weeks. And although the linguist is sure she can rise to the task, she isn't at all certain she won't swoon under his frankly sensuous gaze before her job is done. Mick has lived outside of London society long enough to know that appearances can be deceiving. Edwina might look all buttoned up--the perfect English lady--but there is unleashed passion existing just below her placid facade (not to mention a great pair of legs!). And as she prepares him to take his place in society, Mick prepares Edwina to take her place in his heart...and in his bed.
The Engagement

Inspector Zach Bullock vowed to do the honorable thing and take Virginia Waters to wife. Marrying his brother's cast-off bride would neatly serve family obligations with no emotional upheaval for anyone. But the gangly girl he remembered from childhood had blossomed into a stunning, exemplary woman, one he desired more than anything--and a looming danger threatened to keep them apart forever!
