Georgina felt her mouth captured with startling swiftness by Major Jack Hampton. She felt her breast cupped with seductive skill by his large hand. She felt her eyes closing, her body yielding. With an effort, she opened her eyes. She pressed her hands urgently to his chest. Unwillingly, he released her, and stepped away. "How dare you, sir?" she demanded. "How dare you do such a thing?" "You were eminently kissable, my dear," Jack explained. Georgina could not contain her fury. "Can you actually have the unmitigated gall to believe that I relished being reated like a...like a dairymaid? A debauched dairymaid in the bargain." "I doubt very much that you would be mistaken for a dairymaid," Jack said. "Especially not a debauched one." He grinned. "For one thing, no dairymaid I know every complained about being kissed by Jack Hampton." (From inside cover)

I don't believe this is actually part of the Seven Corinthians Series, but Jack Hampton is the cousin of one of the Seven Corinthians.
