Demure Prunella Broughton has long felt responsible for her lovely younger sister Nanette - since their mother ran away with a lover and then, not long later, their beloved father had died. As an heiress and a debutante, Nanette is already attracting much male attention.But it's about Pascoe Lowestoft that Prunella is most concerned. Spoilt, dandified, vain and "far too good-looking for any young girl's peace of mind", this penniless fortune hunter he has declared himself in love with Nanette!To make matters worse, the new 6th Earl of Winslow arrives unexpectedly to take his place at his long-neglected Baronial Hall - a gentleman of whom Prunella deeply disapproves for his wild, raffish reputation, and the fact that he is Pascoe's uncle.Her argument that the love between Nanette and Pascoe must be stopped gets short shrift from the Earl. Indeed, he argues that love, such as that which led her mother to leave, cannot be denied. Prudish Prunella refuses to believe that such an unruly, uncontrollable love can exist - until the prodigal Earl's stolen kiss changes everything forever. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

As an heiress and a debutante as well as an outstanding beauty Nanette is already attracting much male attention and she is greatly admired wherever she goes.
But it is Pascoe Lowes that Prunella is most concerned about. Spoilt, dandified, vain and ‘far too good-looking for any young girl’s peace of mind’, this penniless fortune-hunter has declared himself in love with Nanette!
To make matters worse the new sixth Earl of Winslow arrives unexpectedly to take his place at his long-neglected Baronial Hall, a gentleman of whom Prunella deeply disapproves for his wild raffish reputation and the fact that he is Pascoe’s somewhat indulgent uncle.
Her argument that the love between Nanette and Pascoe must be stopped as soon as possible before it becomes intense gets short shrift from the Earl.
Indeed he argues that love, such as that which led her mother to leave, cannot be denied or ridiculed.
Prudish Prunella refuses to believe that such an unruly uncontrollable love can ever exist until the prodigal Earl’s stolen kiss changes everything for her for ever.
"I think Prunella," the Earl said slowly, "you are offering me a challenge."
"I do not...know what you are...talking about," Purnella replied.
"I am talking about love, and of course, your ignorance of it."
To Prunella's astonishment, the Earl's arms were around her. He pulled her against him an his lips were on hers. She felt a strange sensation she had never known before rise within her. She felt as if time and place had ceased to exist, that her feet were no longer on the ground. As she tried to come back to Earth, she heard the Earl say:
"How soon will you marry me so that I can continue to teach you about love?" ( )
