A Kasey Michaels Alphabet Regency Romance Classic.
MASTER OF THE GAME ...
A beautiful young miss and her aunt are stranded in a snowstorm and left to the mercies of a nearby landowner who refuses to show himself to his uninvited guests.
But, really, that just makes him more interesting...
"You lied to me when you said you could play chess," Hawkhurst accused.
"Never," Christine responded. "You asked me if I should like to play chess with you. I answered yes, as I would very much like to. You never asked if I knew the game."
Hawkhurst rose, his great height towering above her. He brought a chessboard and pieces and set it between them.
"You--you're willing to teach me?" Christine said.
He smiled and a shiver ran through her. "I should like to teach you many things, Christine. Chess is only the beginning."
Be sure to pick up A Difficult Disguise to see what happens to Fletcher Beldon, who you'll meet and fall in love with in Moonlight Masquerade. After all, everyone deserves a happy ending!
