    Summary

    In the wake of Taggie and Rupert’s kiss and Cameron and Tony’s fight, everything in Taggie’s life went to shit. The man she loved moved another woman into his home, her father needed more parenting than her younger sister, and Taggie was generally heartbroken and exhausted.

    As Taggie hid away in the Priory kitchen making canapés, she took comfort in the fact that everyone seemed oblivious to her misery--with one tall, dark, and handsome exception.

    Bas Baddingham, avowed bachelor and Rutshire’s most emotionally competent rake, had watched Taggie and his best friend circle each other for months. So when Cameron moved into Penscombe, Bas was unsurprised to see Taggie become a shell of her former self.

    In an effort to do Taggie a good turn, Bas decides to take her to the annual Hunt Ball. And when she decides she fancies a casual fling, Bas is delighted–uncomplicated casual flings are his specialty, after all.

    Unfortunately for both Bas and Taggie, love and casual flings will prove surprisingly complicated.

    Summary

    “It’ll be my absolute pleasure.”

    With a slow, deliberate pull, his signet slid off his finger.

    He plucked a piece of her delectable confection, plunged it into the milk, and lifted the soaked treat towards her lips.

    “But I think the chef should have the first taste.”

    The cloudy liquid dripped down his fingers.

    “If you’re sure,” she rasped.

     

    Alternatively, Taggie gets her own cooking show at Venturer and Rupert learns what it means to be a literal sugar daddy.

    Summary

    Rupert doesn't grope her in the dining room. When he touches her for the first time that night, they're somewhere a little more private...


    She's in the palm of his hand but it's eyes she can't look away from. Ravenous, greedy and delighted, even slightly pitying. As if it's perfectly understandable for her to be here, like this, in this state. As if it wasn't a surprise truly to find her here in the pantry after the pavlova course with her hand up her own skirt.

    Summary

    'Is that how you see me? As a girl?'

    'You don't want to know how I see you,' he says with a dark smile. His eyes roam her face, his jaw tightens.

    'Why?' she presses.

    'Because,' he says, his hand sliding to cup the back of her neck, 'you won't forgive me for the thoughts I have about you. Because,' he murmurs, leaning closer so she can feel his breath across her cheek, 'it's not right. You could be my daughter.'

    'But I'm not,' she says, swallowing as she feels the stroke of his thumb across her skin.

    'No,' he drawls, 'you're really not.'
