About the book
THIS WAS NOT AT ALL THE WAY JENNIE HAD PALNNED TO BEGIN HER SEARCH FOR EXCITEMENT AND A HUSBAND....
With her new inheritance and her quick wit, the former headmistress--endeavoring to sweeten her astringent reputation--was en route to the London Marriage Mart to let fate and fortune take their course.
She arrived at the Laughing Jack Inn in time to wield her acerbic tongue against a handsome gentleman and his unhappy companion -- a lady scandalously young enough to be his daughter. The youthful miss, however, was indeed Lord Marndale's daughter.
After hotheaded remarks and apologies all around, Marndale's outrage turned to admiration. Miss Jennie Robsjohn would brook no nonsense from anyone--not even eligible gentlemen--and certainly would make a perfect companion for his willful young daughter. Perhaps, she would prove ideal for someone else as well....
Hero: Lord Marndale Savage Heroine: Miss Jennie Robsjohn
