Don't fall in love with me… Evangeline, Lady Courtenay, has flirted with scandal her entire life, and paid a steep price for it, with two unhappy marriages and a tarnished reputation. She's vowed never to get entangled with another man-until a dashing explorer, just passing through London, smiles at her and sends her heart leaping. Just one night, she tells herself; that's all she wants. Sir Richard Campion is entranced by Evangeline the moment they meet, even before she takes him home with her for a night of pleasure, only to be gone when he wakes. When he encounters her again years later, he is just as fascinated-and elated to find that she still feels it, too. And this time, he intends to persuade her that he's worth getting entangled with…forever. Caroline Linden was born a reader, not a writer.
