Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath’s next novel in The Chessmen: Masters of Seduction series where the price is always high…
American Leonora Garrison has come to England in desperate search of investors to keep her family business afloat but instead finds surprising pleasure when she visits an exclusive ladies’ club and dares to kiss a stranger, who leaves her yearning for more.
With a libertine for a father, Viscount Wyeth, more commonly known as Rook, vowed to live his life above reproach, with nary a hint of disgrace. Until one night, he takes a mysterious beauty into his arms, a lady who tempts him to cast his sterling reputation aside in favor of more wicked pursuits.
When fate reunites the couple, they are torn between desire and duty. Leonora may want the viscount, but she needs a stakeholder not a lover. When caught in a compromising situation that places everything they hold dear at risk, they must determine how best to win. However, in this scandalous game, nothing except love takes all.
Customer Reviews
Curiosity and kisses
Curiosity kissed the cat and many more nips followed as the final Chessman falls in “In Want of a Viscount” by Lorraine Heath!
I adore the meet-cute of Leonora Garrison and Rook, Viscount Wyeth, and that they can’t get enough of each other. They are themselves and more when together and It was sweet reading how well matched they are even though neither are not looking to marry.
I love how bold Nora is. She want it, she got it… even if she risked scandal or was very direct in what she desired. She was the force behind the family business and deserved better from them, so I’m happy for her get-it-gurl moments.
I love that Rook sees Leonora and encouraged her interests. He was absolutely thoughtful so could we not swoon as he found ways to feed her mechanism curiosity. His actions regarding his family, all of them, was admirable. Then his grand gesture was perfect!
If you enjoy kissing, innocent yet sensual trysts, and women receiving their deserved recognition, then I highly recommend this book!
