Anna stiffened, her back turned towards the owner of the voice as she knelt in the parsonage garden weeding the bed of herbs. It would be an understatement for her to claim she had been dreading this meeting after the village became abuzz with the news that the new Duke of Northamptonshire had arrived unexpectedly three days ago and was now in residence at Banbury Hall. Anna had not believed the duke’s unexpected arrival and her own meeting that same day with the stranger in the woods could possibly have been a coincidence; they simply did not have that many visitors riding through the parish in one day. Consequently, she had reluctantly been forced to accept that it was more than a possibility that the Duke of Northamptonshire was the same handsome gentleman who had stripped down to his drawers in front of her startled—and avid—gaze. The same outrageous gentleman who had then teased and flirted with her. The very same wicked man who had climbed a tree in order to assist her only so that he might claim a kiss as his reward!
