Hired to distract, driven to distraction…

Lucan St Claire refuses to take the cursed title of fifteenth Duke of Stourbridge – he wants nothing to do with his heritage, including a magnificent stately home in Gloucestershire. So when he’s forced to return to his family’s seat he takes beautiful new personal assistant Lexie Hamilton with him, for some much-needed distraction…

Only Lucan has no idea that his temporary assistant isn’t quite who she seems… But by the time he finds out it will be too late!

THE SCANDALOUS ST CLAIRES <br/>
Three arrogant aristocrats – ready to marry!

'Don't!' Lexie gasped, stepping back as she saw Lucan's intent in the raw hunger of his dark gaze.

'This is ''so'' not a good idea, Lucan!' She put her hands up to stop him as he followed her, those hands becoming crushed between them as Lucan leaned his body into hers so that they were now touching from breast to thigh.

'It feels like a very good idea to me,' Lucan assured her softly as his arms moved either side of her, so that his hands could grip the worktop behind her, effectively trapping her between his arms as the heat of his body fitted against her much softer curves. 'Doesn't it feel like a good idea to you, Lexie?' he prompted huskily.
