Six Impossible Things
by Elizabeth
Boyle
GENRE: Historical
Romance
BLURB:
Lord Rimswell is a man
of honor and absolutes. If he says something is impossible, it is. Yet his life
of right and wrong is turned upside down when he finds himself in a
compromising situation with the most unyielding, yet maddeningly beautiful,
woman in London. If only he had not given in to the irresistible temptation to
kiss her. Now he must marry her.
Miss Roselie Stratton
is the very definition of impossible-headstrong, outspoken and carrying a
reticule of secrets that could ruin more than her reputation. Kissing Brody is
hardly the most ruinous thing Roselie has ever done as a secret agent for the
Home Office…nor will she let a marriage of convenience stop her from continuing
her work. Little does Roselie realize that she has underestimated Brody's
resolve to keep her safe-for he has hopelessly fallen in love with her and is
determined to do the impossible by stealing her heart in return.
Excerpt:
London, 1811
“Smile, my dear Miss Stratton,” Lady
Essex Marshom advised. And not for the first time.
So Roselie did her best to smile.
It was a Herculean effort, to say
the least.
She glanced around the crowded room
at Almack’s and wished she could be more like the other girls. That her only
concern was who might ask her to dance. Or if she should have worn her green
ribbons or her blue ones. Or whether she needed new slippers.
But she wasn’t like other girls.
After all, she’d been out in London
Society for four long years—a veritable eternity in the ton. Nor in her favor
was her complete lack of interest in frippery or likely candidates.
Actually, she was rather proud of
her ability to send suitors shying for the hills. And she would continue to be
too sharp, too bossy and whatever else it took to maintain her freedom.
Because quite simply, marriage would
ruin everything.
Especially when she had work to do.
She checked once again—and yes, the
note she’d been slipped by one of the servants was still tucked in the top of
her glove. She wouldn’t have a spare moment to read it until she got away from
this crush, most likely until she got home . . . and bother . . . that was
still a few hours away.
The note that might be the answer to
all her prayers. Years of work. The last bit of evidence she needed to bring
down her enemy, the Marquess of Ilford.
For he was her enemy, as much as he
was England’s. And nothing would deter her from seeing him pay for his heinous
crimes.
But in the meantime . . .
Her frustration got away from her,
and she sighed. More like, groaned. Quite loudly and rather unbe-comingly.
“Miss Stratton!” Lady Essex chided.
“The company tonight may be thin, but a lady never reveals her bore-dom. Why
look at Miss Taber! How fortunate Lady Muscoates is to have a ward who
illuminates every room she enters.” Her ladyship tapped her fan against her
chin as she examined the fetching girl across the room. “Though I must say, a
ward should never be that pretty. Rather, indecent, don’t you agree, Mariah?”
