Ragsdale traded his two best horses so Emma would not fall into the hands of the men at the gaming table. Knowing this, Ragsdale did an amazing thing when his American cousin went gambling, losing all his money and wanting to use Emma (she was an indentured servant) for the next turn of the cards. Ragsdale and Emma are mutually hostile towards the other's countrymen. Emma saw her whole family destroyed by the British. Ragsdale still had nightmares over the horrible things he saw (Ragsdale was severely wounded at the same time, including losing an eye).Įmma's hate for the English was for a slightly different reason but the outcome was the same. Ragsdale had lost his father to Irish soldiers who slayed and abused his father's body. It was clear that each had valid reasons for intensely disliking the other person's compatriots. Probably the most important impediment to Lord Ragsdale and Emma being friendly was their mutual hate for each other's countrymen. Bestselling author Carla proves once again that love, transformation, and spontaneity are the best ingredients for an exquisite romance. Step two-make him break up with his mistress, the superbly sensual Fae Moull?, and transform him into a suitable suitor for the ideal wife that prim and proper Lady Clarissa Partridge would be. Step one-stop his drinking, his gaming, and his wild revelry. But after he saves Emma from a life of indentured servitude and shame, Emma decides that it is her personal duty to save him from his wicked ways. The infamous Lord Ragsdale is as rich as sin, as sinful as he is rich, and as heartless as he is handsome.

'Pon my word, Emma, I hope you are worth five thousand pounds. Thank goodness for that, he replied, keeping his tone light. I'm not crying, she murmured, attempting to wipe away the tears. Step one-stop his drinking, his gaming, and his wild.
