Summary
 The Earl of St. Merryn needs a woman: his intentions are purely practical…

He needs a fiancée to keep the husband-hunting ladies of the town at bay. His solution is to hire a paid companion and Miss Elenora Lodge appears to be the perfect candidate. Elenora's sorry financial circumstances convince her to accept the Earl’s generous, if scandalous, offer. But the Earl soon discovers that the meek and mild companion he'd initially envisioned stirs a bothersome passion in his heart.©2004 Jayne Ann Krentz (P)2015 Recorded Books Inc Fiction Historical Historical Fiction Regency Regency Romance Romance Women's Fiction Heartfelt

An historically based bodicevripper of the first water. Thoroughly enjoyable to listen to while driving.
