Publisher's Summary

Madcap tomboy.

When the local magistrate jailed Jacelyn Trevaine's pet dog as a public nuisance, the country miss knew he meant to blackmail her into socializing with his nephew. High-spirited Jacelyn decided to free her dog by kidnapping the precious nephew, but unfortunately she abducted the wrong gentleman! Her captive was none other than handsome Lord Leigh Claibourne - returned war hero and rake extraordinaire. And four hours alone with the libertine Earl was tantamount to social ruin. Of course if she was already ruined, Jacelyn may as well give society something to be scandalized about.

Hardened womanizer.

Claibourne found country life tiresome and dull until he was kidnapped by an irrepressible chit whose candor was utterly disarming. Even rakes have their points of honor, however, and when the situation threatened to compromise Jacelyn, the cynical nobleman was forced to give the appearance of being betrothed to her. Claibourne never gave something for nothing. And in the case of the deliciously appealing Jacelyn, he'd hold her reputation hostage for a rake's ransom.

another favorite for the permanent collection

this has got to be one of my favorites if for no other reason than the fact that the hero and heroine actually solve their differences and talk it out. that said it doesn't stop her from getting into scrapes ...funny and sweet this is one of those books that give me hope for relationships everywhere.

the sound

This was my 1st book by this author. The story is well enough but the very poor sound quality is distracting and prevented me from actually enjoying story properly.
