Her First Desire

If you love Lenora Bell and Tessa Dare, you'll love the
next book in New York Times bestselling author Cathy Maxwell's Logical
Man's Society series about a delicious battle of the sexes between a determined
woman and a stubborn gentleman.
She arrived in town, beautiful and bold and declaring that
she's inherited property that that he
has already claimed! As a member of the local Logical Men's Society, Ned
Thurlowe prides himself on thinking clearly and calmly at all times. And it's
clear that the meeting place of the society—a local tavern—is his even if the
men have turned it to shambles.
But Ned's claim is challenged Gemma Estep, who's announced
she's decided to turn it into some sort of respectable tea garden for the local
ladies. Ned challenges Gemma, and in doing so behaves most illogically, for
though he wants to dismiss her, he also can't help but desire her.
Gemma has had enough of men telling her what to do, and
she's vowed to make her own way in the world. And Ned Thurlowe is ruining her
plans. Not only has he laid claim to her property, pitting them in a heated
fight for its ownership, he's also arousing in her feelings she's never sensed
before.
And although they argue, they quickly discover they
have more in common than they'd each ever dreamed—could their disagreement be
turning into desire?
