A Very Proper Thief
Patricia Harrison
A feckless young brother, a missing jewel, and a pair of young lovers embroil them further. Courtlea thinks Daphne is too opinionated and headstrong, but lovely enough to warm his bed, and determines to win her.
Daphne's defenses weaken. She will do anything to repossess the gem. Dare she love the charming earl? Did he betray her?
Scandal threatens, but what Daphne recklessly proposes goes beyond scandal...
