The Notorious Viscount: A Regency Romance

By Michelle Styles

Her lips hovered a tantalisingly few inches beneath his. Her deep blue eyes looked up into his, trusting him to get this right and protect her. Truly Cinderella after the ball, missing a slipper and in need of a prince.

Sophie Ravel is being blackmailed.

After breaking the news to her best friend's fiancée that the bride has eloped with another, the reeling Sir Vincent Putney unleashes his wrath on the undeserving Sophie. He has her in a compromising position that could very well lead to her fall in society if he plays his cards right.

Richard Crawford, Viscount Bingfield, is in the right place at the right time, and finds the damsel in distress shaken up and afraid. He has the perfect cover for Sophie that ruins Sir Vincent's vengeance completely…

Although it did involve a proposal regarding her hand in marriage… Something he's not going to be able to back out of very easily.

Agreeing to keep their engagement a pretence was easy until the growing attraction between them burned hotter and hotter. Then prospect of a wedding starts to appear promising after all…

But Sir Vincent is still burning from being thwarted in such a public way. Now, in addition to Sophie, the Viscount has also become a target, and Sir Vincent will not rest until he has destroyed them both.

The Notorious Viscount is a full–length regency romance of secrets and seduction.
