An Uncommon Bequest
Emily Hendrickson
The Unexpected Season
Left without a farthing by her papa 's untimely death,
Sophie Gamett was quite resigned to being a genteel lady's
companion. Then a letter arrived, summoning her to the
reading of a relative's will. She never expected the secret
bequest that would allow her to have a London
season. ..and to come face-to-face with her distant cousin,
Jonathan, the Viscount Lowell.
Sophie had been an impetuous schoolgirl when he'd
claimed her lips in a soul-stealing kiss. She wanted to
despise him for awakening such powerful feelings, then
simply walking off as though he hadn't upended her world.
And he still treated her like a vapid young girl. She simply
had to show him that she could take the ton by storm and
have marriage offers by the dozen. Yet when Jonathan held
her in his arms for a dizzying waltz, Sophie feared that no
matter who proposed, only one man owned her heart....
