Kurzbeschreibung

Beschreibung

Restless and disaffected, Jonas Tallent, Lucifer Cynster s brother-in-law, happily leaves the ballrooms of London and returns to Devon to manage his family s estate. His most pressing concern is to find a new innkeeper, a task that proves difficult - until Emily Beauregard applies for the position.
A lady-innkeeper is not what Jonas had in mind, especially not one who invokes his protective streak. But Em is desperate to remain in Colyton village with her siblings. She refuses to take no for an answer, jockeys Jonas into hiring her - then sets about making the inn the center of village life.
But Em has her own agenda - she s in Colyton to hunt for her family s treasure, guided by a cryptic rhyme. Orphaned, near penniless, the treasure is her and her siblings future, but solving the rhyme is no easy task. Only once she accepts Jonas as her lover and enlists his aid do they start to unravel the clues. But someone else also has the Colyton treasure in their sights, and the closer Em draws to her family s legacy the greater the danger grows...to her, her family, and the treasure she s discovered in Jonas s arms.

Klappentext

When a gentleman is restless and bored with the careless pleasures of London society, he needs to discover a new diversion, and if that diversion is a beautiful woman, so much the better.
Temptation
Jonas Tallent, who has masterfully taken the reins of his family's estate, never expected a delectable morsel like Miss Emily Beauregard to step into his library, but he certainly isn't about to hire her as manager for the village inn. A lady as tempting as Emily belongs in a ballroom, or a bedroom?preferably his.
Surrender
Emily herself hadn't expected her current circumstances, but she has her reasons and doesn't plan to share them, even with someone as seductive as Jonas. Yet he can be so devilishly persuasive. But a villain knows her secret, and soon danger threatens Em, her family, and the powerful love she and Jonas have found in each other's arms.
