The Irresistible Buck

the long version

REJECTED LOVE Handsome Lord Melburne was restless and bored. Bored with the Prince of Wales' lavish parties and the fashionable beauties who longed for his love. Then a strange message from an unknown woman lured him away from London. And he met the incredibly lovely Clarinda. Who was this adorable creature who loathed him? Why did she scorn his good looks, his wealth, and his famous charms? It was only after he had saved Clarinda from appalling danger that Lord Melburne understood what his heart was whispering. He was in love with the one woman in the world who did not find him irresistible! She felt a fatal fascination for him. Yet she hated him -- or so she told herself.
