Love and Betrayal...Regency style
A Taste of Seduction is Book Two of Mary Campisi's Regency historical series, An Unlikely Husband. Readers fell in love with Francie and Alexander Bishop from The Seduction of Sophie Seacrest, and wanted to know how they came to be Mr. and Mrs. Bishop. A Taste of Seduction is their story.
(Author note: A Taste of Seduction has been re-released, and edits have been made to ensure continuity between the books, including character names.)
A young woman of noble blood, raised as a peasant girl...
An orphaned stable boy, now grown and the surrogate son of a powerful earl--the same earl who just so happens to be the young woman's father...
Francie Jordan and Alexander Bishop have nothing in common--she runs barefoot and talks to animals. He won't loosen his cravat unless the bedroom door is firmly closed. She believes in love, second chances, and happily ever after. He believes in keeping a safe distance from anything that resembles an emotion. Indeed, they have nothing in common but an undeniable desire for one another they can't ignore, and an ailing "father" who will employ any means to bring them together.
Unfortunately, not everyone wishes to see a union between Francie and Alexander, and they will stop at nothing to keep this couple apart.

"This is ridiculous." Alexander shot the earl a murderous look. "Miss Jordan and I would never suit." His gaze settled on her. "Never."
Heat rushed to her cheeks and she blurted out, "Mr. Bishop is right. The whole notion is preposterous." Though he needn't be quite so adamant about it. For heaven's sake, you'd think she was a two-headed monster.
Her father smiled and shook his head. "One thing is for certain. You'll never get to know one another if you can't dispense with the Miss and Mister. Isn't that right, Bernard?"
All eyes flew to Uncle Bernard. "Usually, that's necessary at some point if an acquaintance is to develop into a relationship of any substance."
"Miss Jordan and I--"
"Francie," the earl corrected.
"Francie," Alexander said through clenched teeth. He was on the verge of losing his temper. She knew it. His eyes narrowed to half-slits, his mouth set in a firm line. And the jagged scar, the telltale sign, grew silver-white. "Francie and I," he began again, "are not in the least interested in developing a relationship of any kind." His gaze burned her with the heat of his anger. "Are we, Francie?"
"No, Alexander, we are not in the least interested," she forced herself to reply.
The earl raised his hands in the air. "Fine. Enough said on that subject. If you can't be husband and wife, then we'll have to settle for brother and sister."
"I agree," Bernard said. "Brother and sister. That should suit the two of them just fine." He smiled then, a slow, lazy smile she'd grown accustomed to over the years. He reserved this smile for situations, usually in her studies, when Francie formed one conclusion and the correct answer was the exact opposite. The more impassioned she became while arguing her position, the broader her uncle's grin.
But this was real life. And she was not interested in one Mr. Alexander Bishop. No matter how broad her uncle's smile stretched, she was not interested. Most definitely not.
