Mad About the Major: A Novella — Elizabeth Boyle

The pampered daughter of a duke takes a London holiday with the most unsuitable of chaperones

Lady Arabella Tremont has spent her entire life protected and overshadowed by her restrictive father. But she is a Tremont, after all, and the morning after she is nearly ruined at a ball by a handsome stranger, Arabella's father demands she make an arranged match with the heir to a dukedom. In desperation, Arabella takes matters into her own hands.

Major Kingsley is in London to avoid his parents' dreadful house party. To his surprise he runs into the enticing and unforgettable minx he met at a ball the previous night. Arabella, or Birdie, as he knows her, insists he owes her three favors for he's put her in a terrible pinch. Kingsley agrees, if only to delay his trip home and because the notion of spending the day with this enchanting bit of muslin is too tempting to resist. But all too quickly he discovers Arabella's requests are hardly what he expected...
