Second Chances

A Woman's Wiles

For Allegra Proctor, tutoring the Earl of Wrexham's son had its disadvantages--namely, the widowed earl himself. He was arrogant, high-handed, impossibly vain ... and distractingly dashing! But Allegra's ulterior motives for accepting the position at Stormaway Hall had little to do with teaching--or finding love. And no one could ever guess. After all, how much suspicion could a shy vicar's daughter possibly arouse?

More than anyone imagined. Especially when she's caught scaling the wall of a neighboring manor at midnight! It isn't until she's forced to reveal the secret of a purloined treasure, a family scandal, and the rakish deeds of a respected lord that Allegra finds an unlikely ally in the earl--plunging them both into a delicious scheme of revenge, intrigue ... and a passion they'd never dreamed possible.
