Suddenly Scandalous – Candace Camp Anthology 200404/Suddenly/Scandalous

Suddenly: ‘Wanted: Wife of a good family, attractive but not too beautiful, calm, reasonable and mature…for marriage of convenience. Pleasant conversationalist preferred but not required.’ Simon ‘Devil’ Dure is as cynical about love as spirited Charity Emerson is innocent of it. But she is certain she can meet his wifely expectations, and he is charmed and amused enough to believe her. Their ensuing engagement is as shocking as it is conspiratorial. Scandalous: Who was the stranger on her doorstep? Why was someone trying to kill him? And what had happened to his memory? She had always been a model of propriety. No one had guessed at the shocking secret she kept hidden…or the desire that would burn inside her at this stranger’s touch.
