A Mischievous Miss — Irene Loyd Black

A FRUSTRATING LORD
Ruanna Moreton's troubles were just beginning the day she fled to London to escape a dreadful arranged marriage. Reduced to scraping a living in the slums, the beautiful Ruanna luckily fell into the graces of a matronly cousin in an earl's household. But Ruanna 's salvation became her frustration when the handsome, aloof Earl of Wendsleydale decided to teach Ruanna the ways of the ton and have her married off. Ruanna hated the idea of the marriage mart. She intended to marry for love...and once her aristocratic tutor taught her the pleasures of his kiss, she knew she'd found the perfect match!

A TEMPTING MINX
Betrayed by a beautiful redhead years ago, Lord Julian Aynsworth, Earl of Wendsleydale, didn't trust any female let alone one unfortunate enough to have fiery tresses -- and especially not Ruanna Moreton, the red-haired ragamuffin his cousin insisted upon launching into London society. Indeed, the devilish chit's angelic face was actually distracting him from his task of choosing a wife to provide him with an heir -- a wife he did not intend to love. No matter Ruanna's protestations, Julian was determined to find her a suitable husband soon because this delightful minx's attributes were fast becoming too tempting to resist...

Hero: Lord Julian Aynsworth, Earl of Wendsleydale
