The Taming of Annabelle — Marion Chesney

THE MISSISH MINERVA WIN THE HANDSOMEST MAN IN THE TON? HER SISTER WOULD SEE ABOUT THAT!

From the moment honey-tressed young Miss Annabelle Armitage meets her sister Minerva's intended, Lord Sylvester Comfrey, she develops a secret passion for him that obsesses her. She was pea-green with envy. What a cruel world it was when her spinster of an older sister could enchant the dashing Sylvester! Annabelle's own passionate nature was surely better suited for such a one as Sylvester. Now she wants her sister's fiance and will stop at nothing to get him!

Alas for Annabelle, Sylvester seemed to care for her not a jot. But she is determined to take him away from Minerva -- no matter what. But Annabelle hasn't reckoned on his best friend, Lord Peter, Marquess of Brabington, who falls in love with her and decides to tame her growing passions for the wrong man!

Determined to get a bit of her own back, even if it meant marrying another, Annabelle found Peter, a most attentive admirer. War hero though he might be, Peter was ill-prepared for his coming fight for Annabel's true love--and a battle it would be, winner take all...

Hero: Lord Peter Brabington
Heroine: Miss Annabelle Armitage
