The Enterprising Minx — Marian Lorraine

Laurel Ingram had always loved Jason Devereaux. But her loyal, silent adoration, her dreams of marriage, were shattered when Jason inherited a Sussex estate--and a ravishing young ward, who quickly parlayed her status into fiancee.

Lady Danila Wilmington was all that Laurel was not: a naughty flirt and a totally charming schemer. Even Laurel was captivated by this irresistible enemy, who offered a bold challenge: If Laurel would shed her cocoon, together they'd become the temptresses of the ton, friends ... and rivals for Jason, the only man who would never take her for granted again! How could she refuse?

Hero: Jason Devereaux
