The Demon Rake by Gayle Buck

Why is it that almost every book I have read so far in the Regency genre somebody has gray eyes? I have never seen anyone with gray eyes before. Can't anybody in these books have normal brown eyes or even (gasp) blue eyes? Green would be okay with me too.

As for the book, the guy put his hand down her dress so I will pass on it.

Incredibly handsome Lord Damion St. Claire made no secret of his nature-or of his intentions toward lovely young widow Lady Victoria March. He was the most incorrigible womanizer in all the realm-and Victoria was merely another potential conquest.

However, Damion's powerful uncle, Sir Aubrey St. Claire, had an entirely different proposition for Victoria: To save the St. Claire name, Victoria should become Damion's wife in a marriage that would give Victoria title and fortune, at the price of enduring a wedded lifetime of infidelity.

Surrender her honor to a man who made her senses swim? Or exchange vows with a man certain to break his? How could Victoria say yes to either pernicious proposal? Yet why was it so hard to say no...?
