Black Sheep

Never in his wildest dreams would Leverton Strathsford have imagined his family was broke. Upon his father’s demise, however, the ugly truth was revealed: everything they owned had been mortgaged to support a wildly imprudent gambler’s bad habits. Condemned to make his own way in the world, Leverton had no choice but to find a job.

And so, to Dallyhone Bog he went, responding to an advertisement for an estate manager. But when he arrived, for the second time in nine short days, he learned that life isn’t always as it seems. The lord of the manor (which Leverton was now fated to call home) was in actuality a woman! And not just any woman, but a maddeningly, ravishingly lovely young woman with an equally maddening penchant for doing the most outlandish and unladylike things.

Admittedly, Leverton hadn’t been a servant for very long, but he suspected there might be rules against estate managers paddling their employers. Certainly there had to be rules against falling in love with them. And it was unfortunate really, because before the week was out, he had a sneaking suspicion he just might be found guilty of both.

This is a Victorian era spanking romance, 37,183 words/seven chapters in length. If you object to heroes who are unaffected by political correctness and unafraid to turn their lady loves bottom-up, then please don’t buy this book.
