After years of living dangerously in Egypt, there is nothing in
London to interest Peregrine Dalmay, Earl of Lisle-well, except for
one dramatic and devious redhead--the same one who years ago
inadvertently helped him find his calling. What he wants is to
return to pyramids, tombs, mummies, papyri, and villains. What he
doesn t want is to get entangled again with the redhead who s
turned into a voluptuous armful with an exasperating ability to
unhinge him. Olivia Wingate-Carsington is trouble--and born that
way, a descendant of the Dreadful DeLuceys, notorious swindlers and
bigamists. Though her family s done its best to civilize her, she
can t seem to settle down with even the most dashing of
aristocratic husbands-to-be. She s on her third engagement when
Lord Lisle returns. So what if he s tall and gorgeous and
temptingly untamable? So what if he s the only man who can make her
heart go thumpety-thump? He doesn t have a romantic bone in his
body. Worse, he can see right through her and says so. He couldn t
be more wrong for her. But when the oh-so-wrong-for-each-other pair
ends up on a 400-mile journey with a gaggle of elderly ladies in
tow, to take on a gloomy Scottish castle haunted by spiteful ghosts
and murderous villains-they may just realize the scariest thing of
all is that they re made for each other.
