WHAT HE WANTS Lynne Connolly
Love hides in unexpected places...
London businesswoman Annie Cathcart can’t bring herself to enter into another business arrangement masquerading as marriage. When her current landlord demands her hand in exchange for her continued use of the property, there is only one answer—she must find another house. Upon inquiring after a property owned by the dashing Earl of Carbrooke, the last thing she expects is an indecent proposal. Forced to choose, should she risk everything she’s worked so hard for and trust a man she hardly knows —or sink back into her lackluster life?
Upon unexpectedly inheriting the Earldom of Carbrooke, Gerald Dersingham fears his carefree days are behind him—until a sensuous widow inquires after his former residence. Unable to resist the temptation to have one last liaison before settling down with the lovely but boring Lady Elizabeth, he offers her one night of passion in return for the lease, little knowing how explosive and far reaching the consequences will be....
CHAPTER ONE
ANNIE SNAGGED A SPOON from her eldest son seconds before he smashed it over the head of son number two. “William, you’ll hurt him.” She restored the flatware to the table.
“He hurt me.” William was far too advanced for his four years, although his intelligence augured well for his future career. Her youngest, George, smiled beatifically, but at three years old, George was heavily engaged in charming every woman he met.
Annie grimaced. She would have to engage a tutor soon, or find a school for the boys. Her nurse would remain. At this rate, her children would have more servants than she did.
She picked up her rapidly cooling coffee and drained the cup before returning it to the deep saucer and reaching for the coffeepot. Sustenance that she needed, since today promised to be a full one.
“Should I take them to the nursery?” asked her aunt.
Annie spared the lady a smile. “No, that’s fine, Aunt Matilda. I’d much rather have them here. I have a busy day planned, and I might not get to see them until they have their dinner.”
Matilda nodded, her mouth set in a thin line. “I will take them out later. The weather is blustery, but I don’t think it will rain, so they may run off their high spirits in the park.”
Without Matilda Cathcart, Annie would never have managed this last three years. As it was, they made an excellent family. Annie was sure she would be proud of her beloved sons one day. Matilda Cathcart wasn’t everyone’s idea of a maiden aunt. If she was, Annie would have probably sent her packing long before. But Matilda was intelligent, sensible and attractive, with a keen interest in fashion, which she put down to her mother’s family being mercers.
