Lady Varney’s Risqué Business: A Regency Romp
by Cerise DeLand
When a proper lady of the ton takes on a new client in her matchmaking business, she discovers he has one risqué demand. Spend the night with him!
Viscount Justin Belmont appears in Lady Katherine Varney’s parlor wishing to hire her to find a wife for him—and Kitty is torn between finding the perfect woman for him…or claiming him herself.
A decade ago, he valiantly saved her from ruin and because he had no title or wealth, her father made her marry another man. Now she’s widowed, but makes her living match-making for young noblemen and taking a fee to match them well.
But Justin has special requirements of the candidates. Kitty qualifies and hates to admit she’s jealous of the others who do too. When Justin bates her and she agrees to his outrageous proposal of a night with him in bed to prove her ‘suitability’ to marry him, she discovers the rapture she’d missed with her husband…and the bliss she should have with Justin.
Yet must she refuse his suit?
His persistence is charming, enthralling, but can she throw her foibles to the wind and claim him as her own?
