Showing results for "Lacey" in Historical Romance

Life for Victoria Lacey should be perfect. And it is - perfectly boring. Agree to marry a lord who has yet to inspire a single, solitary tingle? Why, of course. Smile as though this is not the thousandth time he's mentioned hounds and hunting? It's all in a day's work for the oh-so-proper sister of the Duke of Blackmore. Surely no one would suspect her secret longing for heart-racing, head-spinning passion. Except, perhaps, a dark stranger...on a terrace...at a ball where she should definitely not be kissing a man she has only just met.

Gabrielle LeBeau is wild like the north woods where she was raised by her father the French fur trader. Running an outpost is in Gabrielle's blood and she knows every path and tree and the Indian names for them. Over the years, she has seen many city folk venture into the pine woods to play frontier woodsman. She fears them, feels disdain for them. But when she finds Jefferson Alexander half froze to death in a snow storm, she doesn't think twice and saves him. As he sleeps, she looks at his handsome chiseled features. This stranger is most welcome in her home.
