It takes a minx to tempt a rogue... Beautiful and feisty Henrietta
Barrett has never followed the dictates of society. She manages her
elderly guardians estate, prefers to wear breeches rather than
dresses, and answers to the unlikely name of Henry. But when her
guardian passes away, her beloved home falls into the hands of a
distant cousin. And it takes a rogue to tame her... William
Dunford, Londons most elusive bachelor, is stunned to learn that
hes inherited property, a title...and a ward bent on making his
first visit his last. Henry is determined to continue running the
Cornwall estate without help from the handsome new lord, but
Dunford is just as sure he can change things... starting with his
wild young ward. But turning Henry into a lady makes her not only
the darling of the ton, but an irresistible attraction to the man
who thought he could never be tempted.
