To Catch a Scoundrel
Martha Kirkland
A shocking wager
Eugenia Bailey was a prim, ladylike schoolteacher with a
very un-ladylike talent for cards. When her young cousin
lost his fortune to the dastardly Lord Cedric Durham, she
devised a plan to win it back. All Eugenia needed were
flirting lessons-to charm her way into the game. So, she
called on the wealthy Nathaniel Seymour-an infamous
lover of women-for help. Nathaniel had never heard of such a ridiculous proposal-
and would have turned the becoming young lady down flat.
But he had his own score to settle with the lecherous
Durham. In no time at all, his innocent young pupil was
mastering the looks, words, and coy tricks that helped her
blossom into a beautiful, beguiling woman. Her newly
learned charms were hard to resist. The passion between
them was impossible to deny. And as the day came closer
for Eugenia to play against the coldhearted Durham,
Nathaniel began to wonder if their plan wasn't much too
dangerous- for his own heart
