    About this ebook

    This is a steamy historical romance short story (word count 5,604).

    Amy is desperate to move from her remote homeland and explore the rest of the world around her. So when the dashingly handsome Christian, Viscount of Mansford, comes to visit her family in their manor, she thinks she has found the answer to all her problems. Amy becomes determined to convince Christian to marry her and whisk her away to London, where she can finally be free and happy.

    Christian, although moved by desire the first moment he sets his gaze upon Amy’s big blue eyes and soft welcoming smile, is by no means in need of a wife.

    He makes a promise to himself to stay away from Amy, knowing that she is far too tempting for him to be around.

    It is only when passion flares between them, against Christian’s initial control, that he starts to wonder if Amy might make a good wife for him after all!

    Elizabeth Reed

    As long as I can remember I have always loved everything and anything to do with the romance genre. Enjoying writing, reading and watching a wide range of love stories. I am a true romantic at heart! So after studying for a philosophy degree and then going on to work in a corporate job in advertising, I decided to reconnect with my passion again! I now write mainly romance short stories, with the aim to share all of my ideas with others who also have an interest in romantic fiction. I write in a range of romance subgenres including erotic romance, contemporary, sweet, paranormal/fantasy fiction and historical. I hope to continue writing as long as my ideas keep flowing out from my mind. In early 2014 I experienced my own personal love story, when I married my one true love. I now live together with my husband in London.

      Choppy , short, pointless book. I think it was written just so the writer could write sex scenes. There just isn't anything else to say. Just awful

    Chapter 1

    ‘Miss James, what on earth are you doing in my bedchamber?!’ Christian sat up in his bed, disturbed from his rest by Amy’s lone presence in his room. He could not help but notice that she was wearing a nightshirt, with her exposed dainty feet poking out from beneath her clothing.

    ‘I am sorry, My Lord, but I just couldn’t sleep. I had to talk to you,’ she pleaded.

    ‘You’re telling me that whatever you have to say couldn’t wait till tomorrow? Don’t you see that it is most inappropriate for a young single lady to seek a gentleman out like this?’ Christian scolded, but knew from looking at the determined look on his visitor’s face that his words would all be in vain.

    ‘No, it couldn’t. I wouldn’t usually result to such drastic measures, but I had to take the risk. Tomorrow, there may be no chances to speak with you, to try and convince you. I would be chaperoned throughout,’ Amy rambled on in her frustration.

    ‘Lady, you are not making any sense. What do you mean to convince me of?!’

    ‘Is it true what Papa says?’ Amy left his question unanswered, as she sat down next to him on the bed, taking Christian again by surprise.

    Christian tried to hold his composure and ignore the fact that he had a very beautiful woman sitting so casually and willingly beside him, a woman with eyes of a magnificent shade of blue and lips that appeared soft, plump and ripe for the taking.

    ‘Is it true what Papa
