An Encounter with Venus
by Elizabeth Mansfield

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

When he was seventeen, George Frobisher caught a glimpse of his sister's best friend emerging from a bathtub...naked. It's a moment he's never forgotten...

In the ten years since that fateful day, however, the Earl of Chadleigh hasn't heard a word about the dazzling Venus—until now. His matchmaking sister is throwing a party—and one of her guests is none other than the lovely Miss Olivia Henshaw.

Well past the appropriate marriageable age, Livy is quite certain she should attribute Lord Frobisher's attentions to his gracious manner. After all, it's clear that although he's the most desirable catch in all of London, he has absolutely no intention of being caught. Yet when he plants a knee-weakening kiss on her lips, she can't help but wonder if the affection she feels for the handsome earl could somehow be reciprocated...
