Double Dealing — Linda Cajio

Just by sneaking onto the Barkeley estate, Jed Waters knew he'd bought himself big trouble. First there was the maze he couldn't escape; then two killer dogs nipping at his heels; and most perilous, there was Rae Barkeley herself--all grown up and mistress of the manor whose land he was determined to acquire for his company's marina. He'd made a deal with her eccentric uncle Merriman, but now the deal was off--and a spirited fight was on! Seeing Jed filled Rae with a kind of delicious fear; the gardener's son had become the roguish hero of her girlhood dreams--how could she not surrender? Rae knew she was tempting fate by kidnapping Jed in a '56 Rolls Royce Phantom, but how else could she keep her eye on him? He was her willing prisoner, but once he'd taken her in his arms, she knew who'd really captured whom. Would he try to romance the house from under her now, or could she trust her handsome pirate with her heart?
