Then she meets her neighbor, the infamous Lord Damerel, a charming rake shunned by polite society--exactly the type of man that a woman of quality should stay away from. Though his scandalous past and deepest secrets give Venetia every reason to mistrust him, a rogue always gets what he wants. Without warning, his demanding kiss threatens to become a bachelor's undoingand a spinster's most passionate awakening. 3234302 book 1958 Venetia total:717|5:264|4:262|3:156|2:25|1:10| 717 2896 919 74 5 3 false false Mon Jun 23 12:20:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 26 21:18:10 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 2 false false Thu May 29 08:13:59 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 06 06:28:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false true Fri Feb 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 06:38:11 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 09:25:06 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 07 06:18:52 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 07 07:17:01 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Apr 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 13:57:17 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 20:45:47 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 true false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Sun Jan 11 02:15:35 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 02:23:49 -0800 2009 2 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Apr 18 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Dec 02 09:47:36 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 09:50:26 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Feb 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 30 17:21:54 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 11:24:19 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Dec 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 05 15:58:28 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 05 16:07:04 -0800 2008 1
