Daring Declarations - Larissa Lyons

An evening at the opera could prove Lord Tremayne's undoing when he and his lovely new paramour cross paths with his sister and brother-in-law. Introducing one's socially unacceptable strumpet to his stunned family is never done. But Daniel does it anyway. And it might just be the best decision he's ever made, for Thea's quickly become much more than a mistress-and it's time he told her so.

Thea's fallen under the enticing spell of her new protector. How could she not when his very presence, every kindness and written word has utterly seduced her senses? Yet her mind insists on knowing more, such as why must Lord Tremayne pummel his face in boxing matches and be so abrupt in person? Curiosity turns to baffled amazement when his sister seeks out Thea, begging advice. If that weren't surprising enough, when circumstances conspire and Thea arrives-unannounced-at his home, she's not only welcomed inside but confronted with more truths than she ever expected.

Daring Declarations is a fun, lighthearted read that begins directly after Book 2, Lusty Letters. For maximum enjoyment, reading the series in order is recommended.
