What a Lady Wants by Victoria Alexander
Nigel Cavendish knows he'll marry one day, but hopefully that day is many years - and many women - in the future! Until then, the handsome, unrepentant rake intends to enjoy life's pleasures to the fullest!
From the moment Lady Felicity Melville spies the adventurous scoundrel climbing from a neighbor's window - with his comely conquest's husband in hot pursuit - she knows Nigel is the answer to her prayers...with a little reformation, of course. Felicity craves excitement and who in all of London is more exciting than the infamous Mr Cavendish? So what's a girl to do but hatch a scheme to win what she so fervently desires?
But her plan works too well when a game of chance and an errant pistol shot abruptly make them husband and wife but in a way neither wanted. Now Felicity has to prove to her wayward husband that she's the only woman he could ever want...or need.
This was my 50th book! Might not seem a high number to some, but I'm pretty pleased that I've managed to hit the half century. And this was a good fun read to celebrate the milestone with.
I heard Victoria Alexander speak at RWA San Francisco, and found her so entertaining that I just had to read one of her books. She definitely carries that wit and humour through to her writing.
