Richard Clark doesnt need a woman.
A good thing, too, since no one would marry him. A bastard with hands rough from work, women want him only for a good tumble. Until the one woman whos always set him aflame returns for his brothers wedding. The infuriating chit has pleasure on her mind. And revenge. He likely deserves her revenge, but hed do anything to give her pleasure
Beatrice Bell needs no man.
Unless its to take a lover. And her friends house party wedding offers the perfect opportunity to do just that. If she can escape the disapproving glares of Mr. Richard Shaw, her one-time friend and long-time enemy. He separated her sister from the man she loved, and Beatrice will never forgive him.
Even if he does kiss her like shes sunrise itself.
Even if hes good with children.
And excellent at apologies.
And has that lovely lock of hair curling right over one eye
