TO CATCH AN HEIRESS

The first of the fast-paced Regency-set duet which continues with 95176 How to Marry a Marquis. When Caroline Trent is kidnapped by Blake Ravenscroft, she doesn't even try to elude this dangerously handsome agent of the crown. After all, she's been running from unwanted marriage proposals. Yes, Blake believes she's a notorious spy named Carlotta De Leon, but for six weeks until her 21st birthday, when she'll gain control of her fortune, hiding out in the titillating company of a mysterious captor is awfully convenient - and maybe just a little romantic too. Blake Ravenscroft's mission is to bring 'Carlotta' to justice, not to fall in love. His heart has been hardened by years of intrigue, but this little temptress proves oddly disarming and thoroughly kissable. Suddenly the unthinkable becomes possible - could this mismatched couple be destined for love? By the master of historical romance, 377pp in paperback.
