Strangely enough there were two epilogues in this book.something I don't think I have seen before. I didn't really get the attraction between them, or feel it when they decided that they could have a HEA only with each other, although I did like the epilogue that had him defending her long lost honour. The first and most pressing is that I didn't really care about Stephen and Bea. As for Beatrix, she is willing to have a short fling with him, but when he wants more from her, she is not sure that she can do that. There are, however, others who have ideas in relation to Mr Fairfax- Lacy, and before he knows it, he finds himself engaged to one woman, supposedly having an affair with another married woman, and desperately attracted to Beatrix. One of the people that Esme's aunt has invited is MP Stephen Fairfax-Lacy, with a view to marrying Esme off to him. For all that Esme is trying to live a scandal free life for a change, having a house party during confinement is not really the done thing in the ton. When Esme is approaching her time of confinement her aunt descends on her with all her people, and there is aimpromptutu house party. Lady Beatrix Lennox is now the companion to the aunt of Esme Rawlings who we met in the previous two books in this series. She may be used to being on top in affairs of the heart, but that will soon change. Still, he's not about to play love's game by Lady Beatrix's rules.
Yet Beatrix brings out a wildness in the earl he has tried to deny far too long. Beatrix, with her brazen suggestions and irresistibly sensuous allure, couldn't be more different from the earl's ideal future bride. Now, the ton has branded her as unmarriageable, her family has called her a vixen, and Beatrix sees no reason not to go after what and who she wishes.Īnd she wants Stephen Fairfax-Lacy, the handsome Earl of Spade.
Three years before, the debutante created a sensation by being found in a distinctly compromising position. It is whispered behind the fans of London's dowagers and in the corners of fashionable ballrooms that scandal follows willfully wild Lady Beatrix Lennox wherever she goes. The third book in the Duchess quartet, following on from Fool for Love.
