How to Tame a Lady

How to Tame a Lady
Kasey Michaels

A lady untamed… Lady Nicole Daughtry has vowed never to be vulnerable to any man. Despite the suitors vying for the beauty’s hand, she wants no part in the pursuits of love. But Lucas Paine has captivated her with his aura of danger and mystery…A man undercover… A scandalous affair with Nicole could be just the cover the Marquess needs to outwit his enemies. Though once Lucas lets Nicole into his world, he’ll face his greatest challenge yet – to keep the lady safe from harm…and his heart safe from her!

Dear Reader,

Would you attempt a five-barred fence on horseback? Were you “born for adventure”? Willing to try any dare, reach for any star, challenge any rule?

If so, Nicole Daughtry is your sister. If not, then she’s what we all wish in our heart of hearts we could be, even just once in our lives.

When Nicole runs into Lucas Paine—literally!—the sophisticated marquess is for the first time in his life totally at a loss for words.

He looks at her and thinks marriage (and a few other things men tend to think about when presented with an unimaginably beautiful woman!).

She unabashedly looks back at him and thinks adventure!

And an adventure they will have: one fraught with danger from an unscrupulous man’s ambition to their own desires—their all-consuming hunger for each other that will defy convention, thanks to a mutual passion that cannot be denied.

I hope you enjoy How to Tame a Lady. How to Tempt a Duke, the story of Nicole’s brother Rafe Daughtry, came prior to this story.

Nicole has a twin, by the way, the much more circumspect and careful Lydia. Stay tuned for her story, coming soon. And don’t forget to visit my website at www.kaseymichaels.com for information about all my books!

Enjoy!
