Suddenly You

New York Times best-selling author Lisa Kleypas' historical romance captures all the passion that boils just below the surface of her deftly recreated Victorian world. Novelist Amanda Briars is unmarried and turning 30. She decides that she won't allow another birthday to go by without knowing what it is like to be touched by a man. Risking scandal, she visits a notorious madam to arrange a gift for herself. But the man the madam sends to Amanda's home is not whom he appears to be, and he has his own reasons for coming to see her. Jack Devlin is a savvy business man and the illegitimate son of a nobleman. Soon Jack and Amanda find themselves swept up in a love that neither of them wants--and neither can control. Although Jack can afford to flout society's rules, Amanda must maintain an air of respectability. Lisa Kleypas' delightful story demonstrates that where desire is concerned, marriage is just the beginning.
