The Matrimony Trap - A Drake Family Novella, #1 - E-book - ePub

The first novella in Louisa Darling's steamy, rompy Regency-set Drake Family trilogy! She's the beauty and the brains. Miss Caroline Quick is desperate to escape London for the freedom of the wilds and her career as a naturalist-but she must get her widowed mother married before she can go. It's a simple enough idea; track down Mama's first love and engineer a meeting.with the help of the gentleman's alarmingly charming son. He's just Fitz. The bored, scapegrace younger son of a disapproving Earl, Fitzwilliam Drake is no stranger to madcap schemes, but the proposition put to him by the delectable Caroline is the wildest he's ever heard.
Of course, trapping his father into marriage is better than tumbling into the pit himself, but Fitz will need to exercise caution around Caroline, who is too tempting by half. Unfortunately, Fitz has never been the cautious type. They might make the ideal match. From "surprise" encounters in the park to scandalous country house parties, Caroline's plans quickly spin out of control. But Fitz is there to help.and to drive her to distraction with his irresistible kisses and strong embraces.
Because Fitz may not be a genius, but he's smart enough to see that with a woman like Caroline, matrimony is no trap-it's the start of the grandest adventure of them all.
