This is the first kiss between Lord Wolfarth (Wolf) and Miss Tiffany who is a mathematical and investment genius. Wolf is helping her with a slight problem she is having involving Wolf’s Uncle.…
Excerpt:
Wolf walked toward her, and to her credit Tiffany held her ground. He ran a finger down her cheek then pushed her glasses back up her nose. “As I’m courting you, all you need do is send for me and I shall come.”
She looked at him, those green eyes open wide. “But…but you have so many responsibilities, I wouldn’t want to interrupt you.”
He cupped her chin in his hand and bent closer. “I’m never too busy for the woman I want to marry,” and he pressed a kiss to her sweet lips and felt them tremble beneath his. He knew he should pull away. She’d come here to talk, but he’d been dying to taste her and when she didn’t retreat, he deepened the kiss. She tasted of innocence and desire. She didn’t try to stop him and when her mouth opened to admit him, his tongue swept in. Her arms rose to wrap around his neck, and he pulled her hard against him.
This was what he knew lay underneath Tiffany’s bluestocking exterior. Passion. He intended to make her understand that a marriage with him would suit her very well. They had friendship, respect and, most importantly, passion. They didn’t need anything else. He didn’t want anything else.
Her delightfully delicious moans inflamed his need and were he not a gentleman, he’d have taken her right there in his study. Luckily, he understood she wasn’t ready for more—yet. So, with a groan he pulled back and rested his forehead on hers, trying to bring his body and breathing under control.
Tiffany was the one to step back first. “That was interesting,” she whispered dazedly, her fingers pressed to her lips.
“That was passion. Don’t be scared of it.”
She looked at him as if he had two heads. “Scared? I wasn’t scared, merely curious. That was my first proper kiss. It was—indescribable. Wonderful. Sensual. Stirring. Captivating. Addictive…”
“Not so indescribable then. I’m happy to oblige any time.” Wolf smiled brazenly.
“I wonder if every kiss is like that.” Worrying her lip between her dainty teeth, she turned to leave. “I’ll sneak out the servant’s entrance and see you back here at ten.” Before she closed the door behind her, she smiled to herself and demurely said, “And I liked it. I liked it a lot.”
Wolf was still grinning as he walked to his bedchamber to grab a few precious hours of sleep. It was no wonder he dreamed of Tiffany laid out in his bed like a gift. How could one innocent kiss stir him so?
He fell asleep trying not to think too closely about the answer to that question.

Miss Tiffany Deveraux is more than just a bluestocking, she’s a financial genius hiding behind the plain façade of an orphaned ward. Society sees a penniless, unremarkable girl under the Earl of Marlowe’s care, and Tiffany intends to keep it that way. Her quiet fortune, earned through sharp wit and savvy investments, is a secret she’ll protect at all costs. Because the only way to know if a man truly loves her… is if he believes she has nothing to offer but her heart.
Slade Ware, Marquess of Wolfarth, has the Midas touch, or so the ton believes. Lauded as a brilliant investor, his success is largely luck, and that luck may have just run out. When he learns of Tiffany’s hidden talents and growing wealth, a marriage of convenience seems the ideal solution. She gains protection. He gains stability. Simple. Logical. Unemotional.
But emotions have never followed logic.
As friendship deepens and hidden wounds come to light, what begins as a calculated match risks turning into something neither of them anticipated. Because what Tiffany truly wants isn’t his title or protection, it’s his heart. And that’s the one thing Wolfarth swore he’d never give again.
