Jemima Dancer

THE BUSINESS OF LOVE...

The daughter of a wealthy tradesman, Jemima was a willful beauty with no use for the titled gentlemen of the beau monde. That is, until her father decided to match her with his young business partner Adam Kendall.

Jemima shuddered at the thought. Though she hadn't seen him for years, she remembered Kendall as a surly lout of a boy. Eagerly Jemima let her mother present her to society. Surely, among England's noblest lords, she'd find a man she could bear to wed! But though Jemima did indeed attract the attention of the season's most marriageable noblemen, she soon discovered that her dreams of love and glory were overshadowed by another image. For the presence of Adam Kendall, now handsome and far from loutish, filled Jemima with a quite unmistakable tingle. But Adam had plans of his own -- and absolutely no intentions of marrying a certain spoiled young woman named Jemima Dancer!
