Temptation

Impulsive, eccentric Harriet Pomeroy loved hunting for ancient fossils in seaside caves more than anything in the world. And suddenly she discovered with horror that her favorite "hunting grounds" were home to a dangerous band of criminals! The fragile young woman had no chance of dealing with these scoundrels on her own; she needed protection from the very devil himself... someone like Gideon Westbrook, the Viscount St. Justin, whose face was disfigured by a scar, and whose name was surrounded in the district by the darkest rumors, gossip, and legends. This man would certainly not be afraid to confront the bandits... if, of course, Harriet could manage to convince him to help her. Thus begins one of Amanda Quick's most delightful romances — a charming love story of the most incredible pair imaginable, and their thrilling, captivating, and humorous adventures.
