The Rakes of Fallow Hall # 3
By: Vivienne Lorret
Releasing July 14, 2015
Avon Impulse
Blurb
Frances Thorne learned at an early age to rely on herself.
Yet, losing her job and her home and watching her father carted off to debtor’s
prison all in one day, is too much for her to bear alone. When a generous offer
of assistance falls into her lap, she ignores her better instincts and decides
to take a chance. The last thing she needs is for the infuriating Lord Lucan
Montwood to stand in her way.
The end of the bachelors’ wager is near, and Lucan Montwood
can taste victory. Yet, on the precipice of finally gaining freedom from his
debts, he’s incensed to learn that the beautiful Frances Thorne has fallen into
an insidious trap in the guise of a new position. Lucan can’t deny the way her
lips call to him and knows he must risk his own future to ensure her safety.
Convincing her to trust him is the hard part and resisting
her is next to impossible. But falling in love with her? That’s far too simple.

Excerpt
“Miss Thorne.” Lucan Montwood flashed a smile, revealing a
dimple on one side of his mouth. She imagined a serpent must look the same
before giving a taste of his venom.
“My lord,” she said through gritted teeth. After introducing
Kaye, who then turned to help Mrs. Hunter with the tea, Frances expected him to
leave at once. Yet he did not.
Lucan doffed his hat and tucked it beneath his arm. Not a
strand of his dark hair was out of place. And beneath a thick brow, his amber
gaze held a peculiar light, there in the shadows. The color of his eyes had
always fascinated her. In her youth, before her mother’s death and before his
family had betrayed her father, she would visit her father at Camdonbury Place.
Yet all the while, she’d hoped to cross paths with Lucan. Even though they were
only a year apart in age, he’d always seemed so worldly to her. And with those
eyes, he’d looked at her as if he knew worldly things. The types of things that
her mother had warned her against.
Her infatuation had been a girlish one, born of naiveté.
Soon enough, she’d learned that men like Lucan were born deceivers. And Frances
had had her fill of deception.
“What a serendipitous meeting,” he said. “Had I not been
nearby, I’d not have had the opportunity to renew our acquaintance.”
Since he knew of her vehement dislike of him, she chose to
ignore his goading. “Her ladyship was quite fortunate that you happened along.
Although, I am surprised that you chose to rescue a perfectly innocent shawl
instead of sending it to the gallows, as you and your family are wont to do.”
He stared at her for a moment—long enough for her to adjust
her spectacles—as a slow, daring grin revealed that dimple of his once more.
Truly, a man so diabolical should not have such an appealing dimple. She
loathed that dimple and the man who wore it.
