Some Like It Sinful (Hellion's Den) - Plot & Excerpts
Although naïve, she was not a fool. She knew that most gentlemen did not seek out ladies for their intelligence, or for their sensible nature. How could she not know? They wanted women they desired. Women who charmed them and played those mysterious games she had never been capable of learning. Still, she did not entirely appreciate his boorish reaction. So, she was not the sort of female to attract gentlemen. So, night after night she found herself sitting at home rather than being invited to the numerous entertainments held about the village. At least Mr. Chesterfield appreciated her unique qualities. There was no need to mock. Glaring into the beautiful features that could make a woman’s heart forget to beat, Clara waited for him to gain control of his mirth. “Are you quite finished?” she at last demanded. The blue eyes continued to smolder in the flickering candlelight. “I must admit that I have never considered using mathematical equations to seduce a woman.” Clara was not about to reveal that the equations were only the beginning.
