House of Devon

Love at first sight. Steamy second chance. Regency splendor. As the most distinguished watchmaker in England, Christian Bainbridge believes in accurate timepieces, not love. He secretly offered his heart years ago, and he's never gotten it back. When Raine Mowbray stumbles into his life again, Christian realizes the woman he's worshiped from afar is still the woman he desires above all others. Raine Mowbray needs solitude and employment, not love. A housemaid forced to flee a loathsome earl's grasp, the last thing she's seeking is a man's amorous attention. When she finds herself unexpectantly paired with a gorgeous watchmaker in need of an assistant, she's unnerved by his wit, kindness - and clandestine devotion to her. If you like spirited heroines who fight falling in love and charmingly arrogant heroes who think they know best, then this is the book for you! Snuggle up with Tempting the Scoundrel, a steamy second chance, love-at-first-sight Regency Romance!
