Crispin catches sight of the beautiful Miss Georgiana Byng and has to meet her. When he discovers she also has a brilliant, scholarly mind, he decides he must marry her.


And Crispin Stafford, Earl of Epworth, always gets what he wants.


Georgiana cares for nothing except Anglo-Saxon runes. Until she meets an enormous—and enormously attractive—man named Crispin. Who—gulp!—looks just like her idea of the hero Beowulf. Suddenly, she cares a great deal about the fun she and Crispin might get up to in the British Museum.


Be Not Coy is a prequel short story for the steamy Regency romance novella Voluptuous and is set in the universe of The Bed Me Books .
