An Inconvenient Engagement

About this book

FLIRTING WITH DANGER --Two could play at this game! Miss Rebecca Wentworth was furious when she saw her betrothed waltzing with another woman. Deciding that what was sauce for the gander was sauce for the goose, she resolved to make him jealous-by flirting with the handsomest man at the ball. But when Rebecca coyly dropped her fan at the feet of the rakish Earl of Stanford, she suddenly found herself gazing into a pair of eyes so magnetically attractive that her errant fiance was soon utterly forgotten... PLAYING WITH FIRE--John Collingwood, Earl of Stanford, knew exactly what the enticing, honey-haired Miss Wentworth was up to--and the "wicked" nobleman was only too happy to play along. But when the powerful passion flaring between them led to a compromising situation, he behaved as any gentleman would and made a proper proposal. It wasn't just a matter of honor--he had gone and lost his heart to the incomparable Rebecca. But before she could accept his devotion, they would face a storm of gossip that threatened to end their romance before it scarcely had begun!
