Lady Vengeance

THE EARL AND THE INGENUE

From the moment he first laid eyes on her, Marcus Knowles, Earl of Ashmore, knew that Celia Tregaron was the woman for him -- never mind the pistol she aimed at his chest. Celia wasn't interested in his opinion of her, though. She was looking for the scoundrel who had forced her brother Ethan into the British navy during the War of 1812. Unfortunately, she had found the wrong man. And although she hated Marcus on principle, she needed his money to find her brother. Together, the earl and the ingenue embarked on a dangerous trek across England, matching wits and flaring tempers, fighting a war of words that did little to cool the battlefield of desire that smoldered between them.
