A duplicate of one I already own.

received in Surprise Bookbox from Whitreidtan.

Releasing as part of a trade.

This book was waiting for me at work when I got back from vacation. Thanks so much for sending it to me!!! I can't wait to read it.

I can only wish that every woman could find a man like Stuart in this book. He is just your regular English man about town until the end of the book when you will fall completely in love with him. I don't want to give it away but after Emma has him handcuffed and does what she has to do to him.....well, it's a very good way to end this story.

From the back of the book...

"Stuart Aysgarth, the new Viscount Mount Villiars, doesn't know he's playing with fire when he inadvertently runs afoul of Emma Hotchkiss. True, the exquisite Yorkshire lady is a mere sheep farmer, but she also guards a most colorful past that makes her only more appealing to the handsome, haunted lord. Emma has come to him seeking justice---and Stuart is determined that she will not leave until she has shared her secrets...and his bed. Her clever revenge scheme must fail in the face of his soft words and tender caress---and then he turns the tables on his bewitching adversary, seducing her into a daring deception of his own..."

Sending this one as part of a trade to a fellow bookcrosser who has not read many romances. this one should be a good intro to them. Hope a1856 enjoys it.

Thank you craftykat for this trade! I really
enjoyed this book! I finally got around to reading
it just at the end of summer. I loved the general fun-ness of the book. I think I will look up some of the other Judith Ivory books!

Thank you again!

I gave this book to my sister to enjoy and journal.
