About the book
She was a cheeky American upstart who thought that beauty, brains, and bravery were enough to conquer London Society. Well, They'd show her! Nobody-but nobody spurned Lord David Manley, the most eligible bachelor in society. Soon she'd be trembling in his arms, desperately in love with the man she dared to mock. David Manley always got his way, and Miss Molly Maguire was a challenge he couldn't resist!
But Lord David had never met the likes of this headstrong heiress who fought like the devil, looked like an angel, and had all of London dangling on a string.
