A Favor for the Prince

Exciting reissue from Jane Ashford's backlist of poignant Regency romances. Youngest son of a duke (his brothers are featured in The Duke's Sons series), Lord Alan Gresham is interested only in his scientific experiments. But he's dragged away by the Prince Regent to exorcise the "ghost" of a dead actress haunting Carlton House. There, Alan encounters the lovely Ariel Harding, daughter of the actress, desperate to find a reason for her mother's suicide. The ghost appears, and Alan and Ariel chase it. They end up locked in a closet, crushed together in a most distracting way. Although Alan sees women as irrational creatures and Ariel has been taught that men are slaves to their passions, they decide to work together. It's a bargain. Investigation only. But Ariel and Alan can't keep their hands off each other.
