Snowbound with the Scoundrel (The Weatherby Wallflowers, #2)

First, he jilted her. Then, he humiliated her... The Weatherby Wallflowers received their unfortunate nickname when Rupert Dupree, the second son of the Earl of Rottenbury, jilted Clarissa, then decamped for the Continent. When a gossip sheet published Rupert‘s letter forcefully rejecting their proposed union, all four Weatherby sisters became laughingstocks. Clarissa hadn‘t much been looking forward to marrying a stranger, but she has hated ‘Rotten Rupert‘ ever since. But you can‘t keep a Weatherby Wallflower down... Now the consummate wallflower, Clarissa finds her true purpose: gathering information for the Home Office. It‘s the one advantage of blending into the wallpaper-nobody even notices that Clarissa is in the room, much less that she is surreptitiously listening to everyone‘s secrets. Snowbound with the Scoundrel... Clarissa‘s contact at the Home Office gives her the most important assignment of her career: to infiltrate the Countess of Helmsley‘s Christmas house party and protect a prominent Member of Parliament who has been subject to repeated assassination attempts. Nothing will stop Clarissa from reaching this house party, not even the snowstorm gathering over the Yorkshire moors. She manages to book passage on the last carriage leaving York. But that‘s when Clarissa‘s luck runs out. Because it turns out there‘s one other passenger crazy enough to brave the moors in a blizzard. And it happens to be Rupert Dupree... Snowbound with the Scoundrel is a steamy, comedic Regency Romance that features open-door love scenes.
