Synopsis

He Couldn't Refuse

John Parker-Roth cannot believe that marriage is necessary for his happiness. He would far rather pursue his interest in horticulture, but if one day he should find a female who shared his passion for flowers--a level-headed, calm sort of female--he might reconsider. Certainly the lovely young woman who has just tumbled into his lap will not do, as she possesses neither of those admirable qualities. Yet Miss Margaret Peterson does have many things in her favor. To begin with, she is a true English rose, blushing a delectable pink. And she is not entirely clothed. Her full mouth begs to be kissed. If only she would not wriggle so. . .oh, dear. He cannot ignore the sudden vision of her in his bed, but he must.

What? Is Meg actually asking him to kiss her? Well, well, well. John Parker-Roth is a gentleman, first and foremost. And he cannot turn down a lady's request. . .

From Booklist:

Meg Peterson had come to London searching for a husband, hopefully one with considerable horticultural assets. John Parker-Roth had spent the last few years immersed at his country estate, working with plants and avoiding his matchmaking-mad mother. But when Meg finds herself in a socially ruinous situation, John unexpectedly finds himself playing hero. Now a very annoyed John has no other option but to offer to marry the delectably distracting Meg. Much to his surprise, Meg refuses his proposal. He should be pleased, but John doesn’t want to even consider the idea that Meg might marry someone else. MacKenzie’s latest Regency romp is wickedly enjoyable. --John Charles
