Smoldering Embers by Marie Ferrarella (orig. published with Jove in the Second Chance at Love line in 1982 under the name Marie Charles).
Quote:
“Etienne,” she heard Blake say with a chuckle as she raced up the stairs, “you’ve hired us a hellcat. Thanks.”
Brittany Sinclair is no hellcat, but she does learn how to hold her own as she battles the romantic advances of the irrepressibly amusing Blake Kinkade, race car hotshot and son of her wealthy employer. Already feeling at sea among the rich, she can't be sure when he's just playing games, and when his attentions are for real. What she lacks in worldly experience she makes up for in courage and a quick tongue. She's no fool. She knows a playboy when she sees one and she's determined to resist Blake's seductive charm, but her senses come alive under his sensual assault. She -- the minister's daughter, passionate and proud; he -- the millionaire's son in reckless pursuit of life... They surrender to desire. But he seems incapable of love... and she demands nothing less.
