Silhouette of a Spinster and Other Seductions by Charlie Lane

She wished she could stop loving him.
But Amelia Dart had loved Lord Andrew Bromley for years, and it was hard to stop a habit like that. She’d made herself into his perfect secretary, useful in every way but the one way she wished to be of use to him—in healing his heart.

He wished she’d stop wearing pink.
It drove him wild, and Lord Andrew Bromley could be called many things, but wild was not one of them. Until his perfectly plain spinster of a secretary wears pink at his brother’s wedding, reminding him she’s more than a brain. She’s a woman. With desires and fears and needs he knows nothing about. And suddenly wants to.

Unsuitable, inconvenient desires…
Best to ignore them, forget they exist. Because Drew needs his secretary’s quick, organized mind as he expands his educational agency into the competitive London landscape. But Amelia can’t ignore her heart, and she can’t pretend anymore, and when she leaves for a rest from the heartache, the only man who can hurt her follows her.
And kisses her.
Unexpected. Passionate. Wild with hunger.
He claims he needs her for his business, but that kiss suggests he needs her for something quite, quite different.
If only the stubborn man could figure that out.
