A Maddening Minx — Mary Kingsley

A WOMAN OF MISCHIEF

Finding herself quite literally in Philip Thornton's arms after a curricle accident, Sarah was more than a little intrigued by her rescuer, especially by his mysterious eyepatch. Fortunately her injuries were minor, and her recovery in his lordship's home gave her plenty of time to satisfy her curiosity. There were delicious secrets aplenty hidden beneath his lordship's unapproachable exterior, and Sarah was determined to uncover every last one of them!

A MAN OF MYSTERY

Miss Chadwick was a most maddening female, reflected Philip Thornton, Marquess of Pembroke. While most ladies had the decency to avert their eyes from his eyepatch, this outrageous young lady stared at it openly. Her beauty and boldness were disconcerting enough to make him forget his bitterness over his scar and the tragedies in his past. And as he looked into her very warm brown eyes and heard the laughter bubbling from her lips, Philip wondered if he was sorrier to have encountered such a bewitching minx, or that he hadn't done so long ago!
