Bathsheba Wingate catches a glance of the most magnificent
man, who's breathtaking in his demeanor and appearance.
This has happened to her only once before at the tender age
of 16. She married the gentleman and it ended badly. His
aristocratic family disowned him for marrying into the
disreputable DeLucey family, which consists of swindlers
and frauds who are just one-step ahead of the law. After
Bathsheba's husband's death, she attempts to provide a
stable environment for her hoyden daughter, Olivia.
Unfortunately, Olivia has inherited the DeLucey tendency
towards drama and adventure. If Bathsheba had been paying
attention to her daughter instead of stealing glances at
the perfect man, Olivia's next escapade might have been
avoided.
Taking his nephew to the museum, Benedict Carsington,
Viscount Rathbourne, stumbles upon a beautiful woman.
Catching a glance of her eyes, Benedict now understands the
lure of legendary sirens. It's only his good breeding and
impeccable manners that make him look away. Benedict's
behavior has always been above reproach, since he's the
future heir to the Earl of Hargate. As much as he'd like
to, he cannot consort with the notorious lady. He must
squash all desires for her and stay far away. Fate tricks
him when his nephew follows Olivia on a treasure hunt.
Bathsheba and Benedict join forces as they search for the
children. The air crackles with their attraction as they
scour the countryside. Benedict's perfect control is tested
by his desire for Bathsheba. His boredom is gone and life
takes an exciting turn. However, scandal is just around the
corner for Bathsheba and Benedict.
Ms. Chase spins a romance filled with humor and suspense,
containing the perfect ingredients for a winning romance. A
delectable heroine, a straitlaced hero and two rambunctious
children involved in a treasure hunt make this a most
enjoyable read.
Tall, dark, and handsome, the heir to the Earl of Hargate, Benedict Carsington, is known for his impeccable manners and good breeding. Benedict knows all the rules and has no trouble following them--until Bathsheba Wingate enters his life. Now, the two must embark on a rescue mission that puts them in dangerous, intimate proximity. Fortunately, Benedict is in perfect control--despite his mad desire to break all the rules. Perfect control. Really.
