Dallying with the Diamond by Andrea K. Stein

He’s handsome, kind, witty, but too terrified to even try to kiss her. Her almost betrothed is heir to the wealthiest dukedom in England, next to her father’s, that is. Lady Honoria Eveleigh has been deemed the Season’s Incomparable and is all but engaged to the ton’s most sought-after bachelor. In his experience, angry husbands tend to shoot first, and ask questions as they reload.

When the shared journal in which he and his friends have recorded their sexual exploits goes missing, Leo will stop at nothing to prevent revealing the identities of their paramours. His revenge on those high-in-the-instep members of the ton involves painting lascivious portraits of peers’ mistresses and doing even more scandalous things with their wives. Leonidas Croft Atherton, former cavalry officer turned society artist, has ferocious carnal appetites and little use for the Society that shunned him after his father, on his deathbed, pronounced him another man’s son. Now, she writes about love and adventure on the high seas from her writing room in Colorado. A newspaper and publishing professional for thirty years, she ran away to sea for three years, delivering yachts to the Caribbean, earning a USCG offshore captain’s license. Stein, the daughter of a trucker and an artist, never knew it would take the hard-work ethic of her father to achieve the light-filled magic of her mother’s art.
