Mischief
Amanda Quick
Imogen Waterstone has
always prided herself on being a thoroughly independent young woman, but
now she needs a man of implacable will and nerves of iron. That's why
she invited Matthias Marshall, infamous Earl of Colchester, to her home
in Upper Strickland. Who better than the legendary explorer to help her
lay the perfect trap? Her scheme is simple, really: She plans to let it
be known that when she inherited her uncle's collection of antiquities,
she also inherited a map to a fabulous ancient treasure. She's sure that
her enemy would risk financial ruin in pursuit of the mythical
artifact. And to make doubly sure the scoundrel took the bait, she wants
Colchester to pretend that he's out to seduce Imogene so that he, too,
could get his hands on her map.
Yet in all of her plotting,
Imogene never anticipates Colchester's violent reaction to her request
or her own electrifying reaction to him. Neither does she expect that a
malevolent threat would emerge from the labyrinth of London--sinister
enough to endanger her and Colchester's lives.
