"A deliciously improper debut..." —Eloisa James, Much Ado About You

He needed a solution
When an innocent carriage drive leads to a few stolen kisses and a hasty proposal, Lord Beldon must find a way out of a most inconvenient betrothal. Miss Harriet Vernon is not the tall, elegant lady he envisioned for his wife. His solution: invite her to his country home. He believes a fortnight with his quarrelsome family will send her running the other way.

She had a plan
Harriet is no happier with the situation. If only she hadn't been so dazzled by Lord Beldon's handsomeness and dazed by his kisses, she never would have agreed to his proposal. Marriage isn't in her plans—she wants to travel and see the world. If she brings her ravishing younger sister to his country home, the beautiful pair is bound to fall in love, leaving Harriet free to pursue her goal.

Unfortunately it wasn't working . . . for either of them
Harriet and Beldon can't seem to keep their hands off each other, and with interfering families, hot pursuit by other candidates for their hands and a pantomime to perform, will these two misguided lovers ever discover they were meant for each other?

"Sometimes what the mind thinks it wants, the heart will speak another language all it's own, called love... " —Janalee Ruschhaupt, Love Romances website
