RENDEZVOUS

Augusta Ballinger was quite sure that it was all a dreadful mistake. The chillingly pompous and dangerous Earl of Graystone could not possibly wish to marry her. Why, it was rumored that his chosen bride must be a veritable model of virtue. And everyone knew that Augusta, as the last of the wild, reckless Northumberland Ballingers, was a woman who could not be bothered by societys rules.

That was why the spirited beauty had planned a midnight encounter to warn the earl off, to convince him that she would make him a very poor wife indeed.

How could he possibly know that it was he who was in for a lesson . . . as his brazen fiance set out to win his heartand an old and clever enemy stepped in to threaten their love, their honor, and their very lives?
