Never a Lady

Impossible! Colin Oliver, Viscount Sutton, left his beloved Cornwall for London to find a bride—some comely, proper, wellborn lady to bear him an heir. Certainly not someone like Madame Alexandra Larchmont. Yes, she's the toast of the ton, and a rare beauty to be sure. But she's also a fortune-teller. And Colin has an excellent reason for keeping a sharp watch on this one . . . The cards have warned Alexandra for years about a dark-haired stranger who would wreak havoc with her life, so when she sees him at a soiree, her first thought is to run. Unfortunately, she overhears a murder plot, and the only person she can turn to for help is a man she knows she should stay away from, a man who eyes her with an undisguised hunger. But fate's strange turns are Alexandra's stock in trade. And if love is written in the cards, surely nothing is impossible! Leaving Cornwall for London to find a bride, a proper, high-born lady willing to bear him an heir, Colin Oliver, Viscount Sutton, is appalled when he finds himself falling for Madame Alexandra Larchmont, a beautiful fortune-teller, especially when they are forced into an uneasy alliance to stop a murder plot
