Courting The Countess

Return to the sensual, scandalous world of the Bedegraynes in Barbara Pierce's new novel of temptation, seduction, and the healing power of love... COURTING DANGER A scoundrel whose fame as an artist, libertine, and notorious seducer of beautiful women is ongoing fodder for the ton, Mallory Claeg has a secret obsession-Brook Meylan, Lady A'Court, a beautiful widow who abandoned London two years earlier, deliberately severing all ties to her past. Under the pretense of his interest in the primitive landscape of the Cornish coast, Mallory watches her, fascinated and utterly mesmerized by her beauty... COURTING DESIRE Brook tried to escape the gilded cage of the ton's merciless gossip, the memory of a cruel husband, and the pity of well-meaning friends. But meddling relatives and unwanted suitors shatter her peace. At first, Mallory Claeg was another intrusion. Yet his sinfully handsome face and irresistible charm bring both temptation and torment. Now Brook must choose between opening her heart-or sealing it off forever...Pierce, Barbara is the author of 'Courting The Countess', published 2004 under ISBN 9780312986223 and ISBN 031298622X.
