Heroes Always Tempt Ladies (Forbidden Kisses #5)

Miss Charlotte Dowding has six months to decide her fate, dictated by her father’s will. If she marries by her twenty-first birthday, she will inherit his estate. If she does not, all will be given to the church, and Charlotte will be forced from her childhood home to live a much meager life than that which she is accustomed to.

Unfortunately, finding a man she can imagine spending the rest of her life with – a man she can love – is proving to be more difficult than she could have ever imagined. But upon hearing about a man of legend, she decides to tempt fate and go in search of the infamous Man in Black ….

Having taken on the role of the Man in Black, Robert Mullbury continues the legacy of helping those in need. His new position assures him he will remain alone, yet when he saves Miss Dowding from the clutches of a robber, he finds himself wondering if he can love once again.

The more time Charlotte and Robert spend together, the more temptation plagues them, and Charlotte is shocked when it is she who initiates their first kiss!

As heated kisses draw them closer, Charlotte begins to wonder if the hero who leaves her breathless with every kiss is like the other potential suitors - hoping to win her heart and hand only to gain her inheritance.

And for Robert, he begins to wonder if the affection of the ravishingly beautiful Charlotte is genuine or, like his last love, is merely a weaving of a tale of lies to earn his trust before betraying him.
