Guarding a Notorious Lady (Devine and Friends, #3) by Olivia Parker

A woman of pristine breeding, Lady Rosalind Devine is also an unrepentant meddler and snoop—which is why her brother refuses to leave her to her own devices while on his wedding trip. But Rosalind will not make things easy for any unseen, unwanted "nursemaid"—and vows to use her considerable wiles to expose her mystery guardian. 

Nicholas Kincaid, the Marquess of Winterbourne, agreed to secretly guard his friend's spoiled, stubborn sister, though her infuriating penchant for mischief is causing him to question his decision. Though bound by the rules of society—and friendship—Rosalind's spirit and sensuality have sparked a fierce desire in Nicholas to play a very different role in her life, one that entails passion, ecstasy...and unavoidable scandal.

POINT OF VIEW

I read this in one night because I could not put it down!  This was no love at first sight, but a journey to a love (and lust) long denied and gained.  I love how Nicholas push and pull his emotions and Rosalind's honest but propriety-restricted (a woman cannot express how she feels to the man she loves unless the man expressed it himself, I get that) affection made their journey appealing.  A quick and delightful read!
