The Curious Curate
(and the Opera Singer)
A Seductive Regency Romance
When is a curate not a curate? When he is a dashing rogue sent to
assist his Reverend uncle as penance for his unruly behavior.
When the Marquess of Tyden learned of his youngest son, Lord
Aiden Renford’s, roguish behavior in Town—duels, fist fights, and gambling—he
knew there was only one solution for it. To send him to his uncle for a year.
Under the Reverend Matthew Renford’s gentle guidance, Aiden would learn
humility and to behave like a gentleman. The penalty if he refused? He would be
cut off, not only from his funds, but from his family and all access to the
family’s estates.
While the locals are happy to embrace the new temporary
curate and welcome him into their homes, Aiden soon discovers that although he
is counting the days until he regains his freedom, a year in Harelton is not
such a bad bargain, especially when an unexpected guest arrives at the vicarage
only a week before he is free to leave.
Miss Amelie Rouen is an opera singer, something many
Londoners unfortunately appeared to equate with being a Cyprian. While being
pursued by an ardent admirer, she takes refuge at the Harelton Parish Vicarage,
and finds herself in the care of an unusual curate with twinkling eyes and a
mischievous sense of humor, who looks like he belongs anywhere but there.
Please note that this
is a steamy love story
