The Proposal

Lord Bevington could not deny his fascination with his new lady landscape designer - the lovely widow Sophie Pinnock was inexplicably desirable and completely unsuitable. But Bevington, born a commoner, now a lord, needed a mistress, not a soul mate. To Sophie Pinnock, her employer is the devil himself - every bit the opposite of her late husband. But her heart beats faster when he is near, and her fears melt at his touch . . . Margaret Evans Porter is the author of several Regencies. For her work, she has collected a variety of bestseller awards and reviewers' awards. A former student of British history at Oxford University, the author returns every year to England to research her novels. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening and traveling. She lives with her husband and their two dogs in Epsom, New Hampshire.
