With soft whispers and a gentle touch, Tessa Seaton can
tame the wildest beasts. The daughter of an impoverished
baronet, controlled by an unscrupulous uncle, her
remarkable talent for calming and riding unbroken horses
makes her a valuable asset, though she dreams of
independence and stables of her own one day. Then Lord
Anthony Northrup unexpectedly gallops into her life.
... The Gentleman Will Not Be Deterred
At first, Anthony is shocked and angered by the fetching
maid who fools unsuspecting souls into purchasing
unsuitable steeds. But when he realizes Tessa acts out of
love, the dashing nobleman is enchanted. He must release
the remarkable lady somehow from her distasteful servitude
and have her to cherish forever. But Tessa is no damsel in
distress and she will not be tamed; rather, it is she who
must set Anthony's heart free with her unique gift and
passionate fire.
