No Place For a Lady
Louise Allen
Miss Bree Mallory has no time for the pampered aristocracy! She's too taken up with running the best coaching company on the roads. But an accidental meeting with an earl changes everything. . . . Soon, beautiful Bree has established herself in Society.She hopes no one will discover that she once drove the stage coach from London to Newbury. . . or that she returned unchaperoned with the rakishly attractive Max Dysart, Earl of Penrith.Bree's independence is hard-won: she has no interest in marriage. But Max's kisses are powerfully–passionately–persuasive!
“Really, Miss Mallory, you cannot stay here. Goodness knows who you might encounter. Think of your reputation.”
“I do not have one!” Honestly, he was as bad as her brother. “Not that sort of reputation. I am not in Society. I am not in the Marriage Mart. I am in trade, my lord. Besides, what alternative do I have, other than to wait for the next stage back and be jolted for another five sleepless hours? I have, I regret to say, no convenient maiden aunt in Newbury.”
His mouth twitched. She could not tell, in this light, whether he was annoyed that she was arguing with him, or amused by the maiden aunt. “I was going to take a private parlor for you to rest in for a while, and I will hire a chaise to take us back to London.”
“A chaise? A closed carriage? For the two of us? All the way back to London? And just what will that do for my reputation, pray?”
“Ruin it, I imagine,” Max said amiably.
