From the elegently appointed drawing rooms of London’s most exclusive clubs to an imposing country estate in the heart of Dorset, comes a provocative tale of a free-thinking beauty, a dignified lord, and a mad impetuous love that defied all logic . . .Augusta Ballinger was quite sure that it was all a dreadful mistake. The chillingly pompous and dangerous Earl of Graystone could not possibly wish … not possibly wish to marry her. Why, it was rumored that his chosen bride must be a veritable model of virtue. And everyone knew that Augusta, as the last of the wild, reckless Northumberland Ballingers, was a woman who could not be bothered by society’s rules.
That was why the spirited beauty had planned a midnight encounter to warn the earl off, to convince him that she would make him a very poor wife indeed. But when she crawled in through his darkened study window, Augusta only succeeded in strengthening Harry’s resolve: to kiss the laughter from those honeyed lips and teach this maddening miss to behave! How could he possibly know that it was he who was in for a lesson . . . as his brazen fiancée set out to win his heart—and an old and clever enemy stepped in to threaten their love, their honor, and their very lives?

I have learned something new in every Amanda Quick book I have read. It may be vocabulary or “way of life”, but always something. The heroine is intrepid and the hero is, well, heroic.

I love Amand Quick and been reading her since I was a teenager. Great characters!!! I have her books on my kindle and when I am looking for a picker-upper – something funny and bring a smile to my face. I will reread her books and feel good.
I have read Amanda Quick (aka Jayne Ann Krentz, aka Jayne Castle depending on whether her novel is about the past, present, or future) since she was first published. I have never been disappointed. Instead I have been swept into the stories she creates, and find myself intrigued, amused, and missing a lot if sleep the first night her books go …
