The Appeal of an Elusive Viscount

The Appeal of an Elusive Viscount is a wonderful blend of happenstance, sensuality and humor.

Viscount William Torrington bends to his family’s wishes and agrees to spend the Christmas season in London society. Once he finds a woman to sire his children, he plans to marry her, get her with child and return to his country estate, alone. When William meets a young woman, who’s snuck into a gentleman’s club, she piques his interest enough to consider her as a possible wife. However, he wishes for a meek wife and she seems anything but.

After kissing a dark stranger in exchange for his silence, Clara Humphries tries her best to push the incident out of her mind. Her one wish for Christmas is for her sweet sister to find a good husband. Upon hearing a very eligible viscount is in London for the season, Clara decides that he would be a great match for her sister. Her plans go awry when it turns out to be the same person she kissed.

The appeal of the viscount is impossible to ignore, however Clara vows to fight becoming an abandoned wife. At the same time, William is having second thoughts about his solitary life plan.
