Miss Serena‘s Secret

"With devastating scars in her past, Serena Winthrop is sure no man can be trusted--especially not a man like the too-smooth Viscount Carmichael. His reputation as a flirt and a gambler is everything she despises. And the young artist makes sure that this disreputable heir to an earldom knows of her deep disapproval whenever they encounter one another. Henry, Lord Carmichael, is perfectly aware of his charms. He‘s gambled with plenty of ladies‘ hearts as easily as he has with their husbands‘ money. But lately he‘s wondered if there‘s more to life--and if his actions might prove unworthy of an admirable wife such as his friends have found. When Serena‘s guardian asks his best friend to protect his young ward, Henry promises to be on his best behavior and not to woo her. But the more he learns of her, the more he realizes she might be his best reason for changing his character. Then the lady‘s painting leads her to London infamy. Now Henry must choose between the life mapped out for him as the earl apparent and the love of his life. And Serena‘s secret may mean the end of his titled family line."--Provided by publisher.
