Wooing Miss Whately // A Rake's Reward — Meredith Bond

WILL SHE FIND THE TREASURE SHE SEEKS...
Sara Whately has come to England from Philadelphia on a daring quest to recover long-buried family jewels and ease her father's financial straits. The dilemma: the jewels are hidden at the estate her grandfather lost to a callous young buck in a game of cards years ago. Gaining access will not be easy, especially when the dangerously handsome and disconcertingly witty Lord Reath distracts her at every turn.

...OR AN EVEN GREATER PRIZE?
Money, privilege, women -- all have come easily to Reath. After ten years abroad, he is ready to make up for his youthful folly by returning his ill-gotten estate to its rightful owner -- if only he could find him. The bold and forthright beauty he keeps encountering, seemingly immune to his dashing looks and practiced charms, presents an altogether more agreeable challenge. Wooing her is an amusing game at first, then becomes his heart's greatest desire. But for once in his life, will Reath fail to get what he wants -- when Sara realizes he is her longtime enemy?

Hero: Lord Sinclair Reath
Heroine: Sara Whately
