When Tempers Flare And Sparks Fly
Once Harriet Kingsley was an impoverished, starry-eyed schoolgirl. Now, a little older and much wiser, she is a young widow with vast riches — and a life of her own. No high-and-mighty gentleman, not even Lord Marcus, can tell her what to do . . . especially about her ward, Annabelle. Can It Be True Love?
What is wrong with Lady Harriet, according to Marcus, is that she will not listen — and that she is so maddeningly lovely! Worse, their shared guardianship of the rebellious Annabelle has brought her into his household to handle the chit . . . and she's turning his life topsy-turvy. With a battle of wits soon raging over politics and a woman's proper place, Marcus is incensed — and intrigued. Then an impetuous kiss turns into a burning passion. Now the pros and cons are melting into sighs, but for Marcus the trouble with Harriet is only beginning!
