''Nothing gets me to a bookstore faster than Eloisa James'' - Julia Quinn
Miss Linnet Berry Thrynne is a Beauty . . . Naturally, she''s betrothed to a Beast.
If only her gown hadn''t been so fully cut, or she hadn''t been caught kissing that prince . . . But now the ton believes Linnet to be with royal child - and therefore unmarriageable - so she might as well make her desperate father happy by consenting to wed a beast.
A brilliant surgeon with a reputation for losing his temper - and a wound believed to have left him . . . incapable - Piers, Earl of Montague, should welcome a bride-to-be carrying a ready-made, blue-blooded heir. But Piers isn''t fooled by the lady''s subterfuge, and though Linnet''s devilishly smart and charming with a loveliness that outshines the sun, there will be no wedding of beauty to beast.
Still, Linnet finds the gorgeous brute intriguing, with a spark of gentility behind his growl that''s worth fanning. And it''s obvious to the naked eye that ''incapable'' does not mean ''uninterested''...
