WALLFLOWER WANTS
Book Three
in the Bad Boys & Wallflower series
by Maya Rodale
Releasing September 30,
2014 from Avon Romance
In the third novel in Maya Rodale's charming Wallflower
series, London's Least Likely to Be Caught in a Compromising Position finds
temptation in a devilishly handsome stranger . . .
Miss Prudence Merryweather Payton has a secret.
Everyone knows that she's the only graduate from her finishing school to remain unwed on her fourth season—but no one knows why. With her romantic illusions shattered after being compromised against her will, Prudence accepts a proposal even though her betrothed is not exactly a knight in shining armor. When he cowardly pushes her out of their stagecoach to divert a highwayman, she vows never to trust another man again.
John Roark, Viscount Castleton, is nobody's hero.
He's a blue-eyed charmer with a mysterious past and ambitious plans for his future—that do not include a wife. When he finds himself stranded at a country inn with a captivating young woman, a delicate dance of seduction ensues. He knows he should keep his distance. And he definitely shouldn't start falling in love with her.
When Prudence's dark past comes back to haunt her, John must protect her—even though he risks revealing his own secrets that could destroy his future.

SPECIAL EXCERPT:
Miss Prudence Merryweather and Viscount Castleton find
themselves stranded at a country in...with secrets. There is only one thing to
do: he asks her to dance.
“Just one dance…that is
all,” Castleton said. “I promise I won’t get any ideas.”
Prudence gazed up at
him. Too bad she couldn’t explain why she was so hesitant. She was wasting her
life, letting this fear hold her back. There was a handsome man before her, who
had shown her nothing but kindness, and all he wanted was a dance. The truth
was: she yearned in her heart of hearts to dance with him.
“All right,” she said
softly.
The last time she placed
her hand in another man’s it was the beginning of the end.
They began to dance.
She did not, as she
feared, forget the steps. Hours and hours of her life spent practicing them so
when this moment came—waltzing in the arms of a handsome man—she could move in
time to the music without counting to three and so she could look into
smoldering gaze instead of at her feet.
Prue forced her breath
to be even. In. Out. In. Out. She willed her heart to beat in a steady rhythm
as she tried to reclaim power over her emotions and fears.
Castleton’s gaze settled
on her face. She peered up at him. This time she really looked at him focusing
on his mouth, which was firm, sensual and smiling encouragingly.
“Are you having fun
yet?” Castleton asked her affectionately.
Her gaze flew up to his.
Ah, those eyes. Knowing. Dark.
