An American Beauty

Colonial Upstart

A simple haircut had managed to get Clarissa Manning dismissed from the "proper" English finishing school where she had been dumped. But it looked as though getting rid of the young law student her aunt had insisted upon hiring as a tutor would be much more difficult.

It was high time Brandon learned that she was as smart as she was beautiful -- and that he was not as immune as he pretended.
