Seduction Was His Plan... Lord Neville Farrington's day begins badly with an unannounced visit from his stern, unbending father, the Earl of Barrsettshire, who is accompanied by Arabella Martin, a most exquisite young miss. Immediately things start to look up and Neville unleashes his roguish charms hoping to seduce this prized beauty. But the high-minded gentlewoman scorns his advances. But Was Marriage to Be His Destiny? Of all the impertinence! Arabella has never met such a self-assured rogue who spends his days--and far too many of his nights--in the pursuit of pleasure. She rejects his bold caresses with disdain, but even Arabella cannot deny Neville's talents at seduction were oh, so enticing. Arabella is determined to teach the handsome rake a thing or two about honor, but even she cannot resist this scoundrel's kiss.
