The Naked Marquis (Naked Nobility, #3)

The Man Is Practical - As marriage proposals go, Charles DraysmithÕs suit is as romantic as the moors in December. Emma Peterson might be only a vicarÕs daughter, and he the new Marquis of Knightsdale, and perhaps he would rather marry her than endure the marriage mart. But when he suggests how much heÕll enjoy securing an heir, well, a lady can only endure so much. But The Lady Is Passionate - ThereÕs something about a woman throwing pottery at a man that piques his interest. Perhaps his proposal lacks grace, Charles thinks. But it does seem a perfect solution. He acquires a wife; his young charges have the mother they so desperately need, and Emma gains security and position. You see? Simple. Practical. Sensib - oh no, not the ceramic dog. He will have to confess the truth to calm her down. And the truth is, heÕs madly in love.
