A Trifling Affair

AN HONOURABLE ROGUE
Lord John Montrain was in a devil of a dilemma. As part of a romantic masquerade to protect a good friend, he'd kidnapped a much-sought-after beauty of the ton--only to discover he'd mistakenly abducted the lady's younger sister instead! To make matters worse, Maud was fresh from the schoolroom and much too delightful and innocent to involve in his risky scheme. The handsome peer had no choice, however, but to enlist her help, never guessing that his plans were about to take an even more surprising--and passionate--turn.

APLICITOUS LADY
Maud Hawthorne gazed into Lord Montrain's dark eyes with outrage. It was bad enough that he regarded her as little more than a schoolgirl. Now he had the effrontery to ask her help in pursuing her oh-so-beautiful older sister! Well, she would do her best to assist the unsuspecting lord, then give him the comeuppance he so richly deserved. But Maud never suspected that she too was about to be given an unexpected lesson... in love!

Hero: Lord John Montrain
