The Miss Matched
Book 3, The Rakehell Regency Romance Series

Too Many Men?
Lovely heiress Pamela Ashton finds herself driven to distraction by the number of suitors beating a path to her door now that she has inherited most of her father's estate. From the handsome but dull Earl of Ferncliffe, to the dashing but poor Captain Breedon, she is confronted with a bewildering array of men all determined to make her their own.

But does Pamela want to be a mere ornament or possession of a greedy fortune-hunter? A breeder of children and the queen of gossip and sewing? Or is she destined for something greater?

Only the debonair local minister Jonathan Deveril seems to view Pamela as something other than a bank account or status symbol. Is it possible that Jonathan holds the key to her future, and her heart?

Jonathan's dark past holds shadowy secrets. As Pamela and Jonathan grow ever closer, their increasing intimacy becomes plain for all to see. The heat between them simply cannot be denied. But the mysterious forces from Jonathan's former life catch up with him, putting all he loves in peril.

Soon Jonathan is accused of betraying Pamela in the worst possible way. Have all their heated embraces been nothing more than a lie? Pamela must risk all, her heart, even her life, to win Jonathan's love, and secure the happily ever after they both ache for....

AN EXCERPT FROM THE MISS MATCHED:
Pamela's chain of thought was interrupted by the carriage jolting over a large stone, causing them to tumble about dangerously.
Pamela snatched for the coach strap, but not before she was flung forward and landed squarely on Jonathan’s chest.
"Oh, Lord, save me," Jonathan gritted out.
Then he did the one thing he had sworn he would NEVER do.
He kissed Pamela with all the pent-up longings he had tried so hard to deny.
Jonathan's blood surged both above and below his waist. His pulse pounded in his brain as his lips feasted upon Pamela's, begging, pleading with her for love, understanding, compassion.
He pulled her tightly to him, and she melted into his arms bonelessly. There was no struggle, nothing but a slight surprise before she started kissing him back as though she were trying to bestow her whole soul upon him. To grant him ownership of her body, mind and spirit.
His mouth slanted across hers to deepen the kiss. He stroked his hands up and down her slender waist, seeking to draw her in still further.
Oh, thank you, Lord, was her only thought as she plummeted into the whirlpool of passion only Jonathan's kiss could create.
This was how it was meant to be between them, she was sure. Nowhere else could she feel so joyous. No one else could excite her so. She looped her arms around his neck. Chest to chest, waist to waist, she merged as one with the man she loved body and soul.
And he loved her, she was certain of it. Surely no man could ever kiss with such devastating thoroughness, such passionate intensity, and merely be toying with a woman. At last, she had his true feelings from his own lips, as they fastened upon her own and promised eternity....
