Trials of Artemis
(Regency, Hot) Loving Lord Lucifer...
An independent bluestocking sneaks into a library to read rare Greek texts and ends up with a husband instead.
Jacqueline "Jack" Walters loves archery and Greek military history. In her third season she has failed to inspire so much as one marriage proposal and is planning to settle into the quiet life of a spinster.
Gideon Wolfe, Earl of Harrington, has been avoiding marriage but a case of mistaken identity in the library has left him saddled with an argumentative and unwilling fiancée.
What readers are saying:
"I enjoyed seeing the relationship play out between
the two main characters, especially since the author decided to make
them both forthright and honest with each other, being able to pick up
on emotional cues, instead of relying on misdirection and
misinterpretation to lengthen the story, as is usually the case in this
genre."
"Their characters and their relationship develop at an almost
perfect pace as the book progresses (with bumps along the newlywed road, of course). If you like a strong female, this is the book for you."

Excerpt:
He rolled onto his side and propped his head on a hand, mirroring her pose. "How would you like to spend the rest of the day?"
If she were to be completely honest, it would be exactly like this. Other than her worry over his hands, something he didn't seem concerned about, this quiet retreat was the perfect expression of the friendship that had grown between them. It didn't feel necessary to talk or do anything in particular. She was, she thought, more at ease with him than anyone else of her acquaintance. As though she could tell him anything. It made her mull what she hadn't ever told anyone. Would she be able to tell him? Further, did he feel the same about her? She thought he did. He complained, even from that first day, that he told her things that he didn't expect to tell anyone.
"Why don't we play a game of secrets?" she asked.
His eyebrows went up. "You mean like Questions and Commands?"
"Yes, I suppose. Like Questions and Commands."
"Intriguing. Who goes first?"
She laughed. "As you seem so enthusiastic, why don't you go first?"
"Very well. Who was your first kiss?"
She bit her lip. This was certainly proving to be a quick test of her ability to tell him things. She could forfeit the question and accept his command. Or she could just be honest. "I haven't kissed anyone."
"You- That is the saddest thing I've ever heard. The boys at Cambridge are idiots."
Smiling, she said, "My father takes some pains to keep me away from the boys at Cambridge."
"Smart man, I suppose. But still, any man of sufficient imagination would find some way to accomplish it."
She shook her head. "My turn. Who was your first kiss?"
