Lady Kitty Varney
runs a discreet, but risqué matchmaking business to support herself and pay off
her late husband's debts. When Viscount Justin Belmont appears in her parlor,
Kitty's latest client is the very man she was forbidden to marry years ago.
Kitty wonders if she can find Justin a woman worthy of him…and if she can bear
to match him to another.
But when Justin lists
his own criteria for a wife, Kitty is among the few candidates suitable. And he
demands each candidate spend one night of bliss with him in his love nest.
Can Kitty deny
herself the opportunity to enjoy the charms of the man she's never forgotten?
Lady Varney's risqué business might be her saving grace—but it may well become
her undoing.
1. Justin Belmont is an American. So how does he feel about
being named a Viscount?
I am delighted that my grandfather has named me his heir to
the Earldom. Yes, I am and was an illegitimate son but without any other
legitimate heirs, I find that I am now able to enter English society and pursue
my one goal in life.
2. And just what is that one goal, Justin?
Years ago, when I was a privateer sailing out of American
harbors, I sailed a ship attacked by Barbary pirates. Taking them quickly as
prisoners, I also took a young Englishwoman whom they had captured days before
when they won a battle with an English merchant ship. That lady whom I saved was an English baroness. But her
father forbid me to court her. I was unacceptable to him and he ordered Kitty
to marry an old man, a titled one, instead. That broke her heart. And mine.
Now that I am accepted by the ton, I recently learned that Kitty is a widow. What’s more, she
runs a business. God knows why. But the business is one I plan to use to make
my way to see her.
3. So just what is this business and what are your plans?
Kitty makes matches for men in search of a bride. She earns
excellent money at this and I now have money. More than I ever need. I plan to hire her to find a wife for
me. One to my specifications. My very particular tastes!
I know she cannot refuse me. I plan to ask for quite a bit from her—and her skills.
4. Tell
us about your specifications for a wife.
I want one who is blonde, a noblewoman in her own right, a
blueblood. While I understand those are very specific and noblewomen who carry
their own title are few and far between, nonetheless, I need that in my spouse.
It legitimizes me further, don’t you see?
And then there is the one element I demand in a wife: Her
willingness in bed. I will not take a cold fish to my sheets. Why should I?
Kitty must understand this and accept it. I need to learn if each candidate is
a sensuous woman.
But I wish to review only one woman’s talents in that arena.
Kitty.
5. What will you do if she refuses you?
I think she loved me years ago. I intend to make her love me
more now. And if I cannot have her, I will return to America and take up my
ship again.
I cannot bear to think of her alone for the rest of her life.
And me as well.
