Fate intervenes and forces May to consider marriage sooner rather than later. May prefers her burying herself in her sketchbook and designs to prowling the drawing rooms of the aristocracy seeking a titled husband. May Sedgwick originally moved to London in order to fulfill her late mother’s desire for her to marry a nobleman, a task she no longer pursues with excitement. Rex knows May all too well - he knows the sound of her laugh, the feel of her kisses and the pain of denying their love. The fact that his potential financial investor, the Duke of Ashworth, has a marriage daughter only strengthens his resolve to marry - until he’s introduced to the lady’s closest friend, American heiress May Sedgwick. On the brink of achieving his greatest professional goal, Rex determines an aristocratic bride will help him achieve acceptance by society. Rex Leighton emigrated from America to England, reinventing himself and quickly earning a fortune in the process. Her latest novel, One Dangerous Desire, is the third in her Accidental Heirs series (yet easily reads as a standalone!) and I know it will not be the last of hers I read - especially since I’ve already added the first two Accidental Heirs novels One Scandalous Kiss and One Tempting Proposal to me e-reader). *I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*Īs a huge fan of historical romance, I don’t know how I’ve let the works of author Christy Carlyle escape my radar.
When May is forced to choose between the dream she never knew she wanted and the man she’s never been able to forget, Rex must convince her desire is worth a bit of danger.
Rex losing is just a side benefit, as are his breathtaking kisses that she just can’t resist. Winning this bet will finally allow May to follow her true artistic desires. She is more interested in the art studio than the marriage market and her craving to pursue her passion far outweighs her wish for a titled husband. May Sedgwick could be the belle of the season. There’s just one problem-he’s competing against the only woman he’s ever loved. But when he’s roped into a bet, where the prize is the means to fund his greatest ambition and the stakes are a marriage he’s already planning for, Rex is willing to go all in. Searching for the perfect bride to usher him into the aristocracy, he abandoned the idea of love the last time he saw the delicious May Sedgwick. Rex Leighton dominates the boardroom by day and prowls the ballroom at night.
