Caught by the Chaperone - Those Scandalous Taggarts, #7 - E-book - ePub

The widower. Ever since his wife died in childbirth, Devlin, Lord Buxley, has been an absentee father, content with allowing others to raise his children. But when his family has had enough, they call in London's most well-known chaperone matchmaker to find him a wife. Only Devlin devises another plan. and the chaperone. Circumstances beyond her control forced Lillian to live in the shadows. Yet, when one of her former charges seeks her out to help her brother find the perfect wife, she reluctantly agrees.
Upon their meeting, he turns down every woman she suggests and is shocked when he proposes to her.a marriage in name only. She is to keep the women of the ton at bay, see his children are properly cared for (without loving them, of course), and there will be absolutely no physical aspect to their relationship. Ever. and the past meets the present. Only after they exchange vows, and the days pass, do things alter between them.
Lillian is not as meek and mild as Devlin thought, especially as she begins making demands on their marriage.on him, both as a father and a husband. But just when happiness seems within their grasp, the past they have both been running from makes itself known. Will Lillian and Devlin lose the happiness they both so desperately deserve? Or will their budding love be strong enough to overcome everything?
