She turned him down once. Will he risk his heart again?
On the eve of her trip to the Dragon Caves in Mallorca, Spain, Lady Elsbeth
Rawley of Astor discovers that her classmates at The Belinda School for Curious
Ladies will be pulled from school unless one of them marries by the end of the
season. Heartsick this could happen, she promises she will marry for their
benefit. Unfortunately, she has no prospects which means she will have to cut
her trip short and return to England quickly to find a suitor. So while digging
among the stalagmites, the last thing she expects to find is Lord Theodore
Mabry, the heir to the Earl of Lansdowne, and the
man whose proposal she rejected last season.
For the last year and a half, Teddy has buried his heartbreak over Lady
Elsbeth in willing women on the Continent. But his happy-go-lucky ways were
halted when one of those women gave him a baby girl before dying of illness
just weeks later. Now, ready to go home with his daughter, he needs a “dragon
tooth” for the wet nurse who refuses to travel aboard a ship unless she has one
to wish upon for safe passage. Coming face to face with Lady Elsbeth is not in
his plan, and while at first, it appears it will be a fortunate event, he soon
discovers she is not who he thought she was as he is forced to take the same
ship headed for England.
Now in each other’s daily company, Teddy finds he did not bury his love for
Elsbeth deep enough. But he can’t ask for her hand in marriage. He has no wish
to be rejected again. So he enjoys their time together as temporary, until hope
rears its ugly head. Unfortunately, not all is as it seems and despite his
defenses, he must decide if loving Lady Elsbeth is worth the destruction of his
heart.
