Preview What a Lady Likes (Husband Hunters #3)
It's every Regency woman's duty to find a suitable husband. Failing that, she must seem as marriageable as possible to the first gentleman who deigns to look at her. For the wilful, hapless, thoroughly inept group of ladies determined to find husbands this Season, being conventionally marriageable may very well be beyond them - but then, true love doesn't always follow convention. June Pym doesn't care about anything. Widely regarded as the least enthusiastic woman in the ton, she would far rather spend every waking hour with her best friends than pretend to be interested in the vagaries of the marriage mart. Her cold, uncaring mask has formed over many years, functioning more as protection from disappointment than a real personality - which is why, when a gentleman irritates her enough to make her mask crack, June is left feeling thoroughly unsettled.
Ralph Fairweather is the most annoying man she's ever met. Rich as Croesus and as handsome as the Devil himself, Ralph has overcome his origins in trade to become the undisputed king of the ton. Not only are his ostentatious good looks and relentless charm thoroughly offensive to June for reasons she can't quite fathom, but his most infamous display - a series of 'marriage games' at his country estate to apparently choose a bride - vexes her so much that she eventually feels compelled to act. If Ralph wants a bride, she'll give him one. She'll win every game, then laugh in his face and reject him in front of the entire ton - and hopefully cease finding the man so dreadfully unpleasant. But June, impetuously throwing herself into her plan, doesn't know what on earth she's embarking upon. Ralph Fairweather doesn't appreciate people mocking his marriage games, as much as he mocks them himself. He especially doesn't appreciate a beautiful, smug woman like June Pym mocking them. When it becomes clear that June is more than ready to be a cat among the pigeons, Ralph vows to do whatever he can to put the troublesome lady in her place. But he doesn't know what he's getting into either. Not in the slightest. Hatred lies a hair's breadth from passion, and tenderness only just beyond both... but can two careless people realise, after two tumultous days, that it may do them good to care about one another? Lose yourself in this deliciously sensual slice of Regency escapism by Felicia Greene, the queen of quick-read romance novellas. With tortured dukes, teasing heroines and attraction that defies all decorum, these brief but beautiful tales will make any spare hour fly by!
