From bestselling, award-winning Jane Feather, hailed as "an author to
treasure" by Romantic Times, comes this passionate tale of an
iron-willed nobleman who suddenly becomes the guardian of a mischievous,
orphaned beauty.
Chloe Gresham wasn't expecting a warm welcome--after all, her new
guardian was a total stranger. But when Sir Hugo Lattimer strode into
Denholm Manor after a night of carousing and discovered he'd been
saddled with an irrepressible and beautiful young ward, the handsome
bachelor made it perfectly clear he wanted nothing to do with her.
Chloe, however, had ideas of her own. . . .
Driven by dark memories to a tormenting despair, the last thing Hugo
needed was an irritating, infuriating, unpredictable schoolgirl,
especially one whose stunning beauty and natural sensuality challenged
his self-control. Yet he owed it to the lass to turn her into a proper
lady and marry her off to a wealthy young lord in London. And by God he
would do it . . . if only he could resist the temptation to bring her to
his bed . . . and if only he could keep her safe from those who would
use an innocent young woman for shameless revenge.
