About the book
THE sparks which flew ignited more than their tempers!
At the age of five and twenty, Miss Felicity Bell was set in her ways and could think of no cause to change them.
But Jamieson Denham, Earl of Hastings, disagreed, and only offered to help locate her runaway sister after eliciting a promise from Felicity that she would in no case try to manage or inconvenience him.
He had not taken into account that Felicity would bow to no man's wishes, but she had been equally fair and far out to suppose he would let her go scot-free!
