This has got to be one of the most ridiculous books I've ever read. It has potential, but that's all I'd give it. I started out by reading every word, then I started skimming for the "good" parts, and then I just finished it off so I could go on to something better. But you know you want to see for yourself, right?!
Book Description
From the beguiling author of Lady Dangerous and Lord of the Dragon comes an enticing tale of passion and intrigue that pits the daughter of a duke against a handsome stranger--a man who's part cowboy, part hero, and part thief...but altogether irresistible.
She was every inch a lady...but he was no gentleman...
Lady Georgiana Marshal was thrilled at her betrothal to the elderly Earl of Threshfield. For the emerald-eyed beauty was sure that she would soon be a widow and finally in a position to control her fortune and her life. But no sooner does she arrive at Threshfield House than she finds herself accosted by a disreputable yet dangerously attractive stranger who means to ruin her plans....
Nick Ross had no patience for spoiled, blue-blooded misses, but when his best friend asked him to stop his sister from making a terrible mistake, he couldn't
refuse. That's why he showed up, fresh from the plains of Texas, sunbrowned and sweaty, with a revolver at his hip. Only Nick had underestimated his quarry: it would take more than intimidation to make Georgiana see reason. It might even take falling in love....
