His boredom soon lifted when the notorious courtesan Susanna Kellaway claimed a lease on one of his houses. No sooner did they meet than Nicholas became truly puzzled. Though Nicholas had every cause to dislike her, this "Susanna" was an odd mix of seductive manners, intelligence, and ... innocence! So much so that he was beginning to wonder if the woman wasn't an impostor! Which didn't stop him from asking her to be his mistress. But the lovely lady had a more permanent idea in mind for the dashing earl ... The Unconventional Miss Dane A dashing neighbor and a stolen kiss... Antonia Dane had returned to her recently inherited family home, Rye End Hall, to discover that the house and surrounding grounds were in a horrendous state of disrepair. Her neighbor, Lord Marcus Allington, offered to buy the grounds, and Antonia was tempted--until he kissed her! She would not sell her precious land to such a man! But eccentric Antonia found herself having to accept Marcus's support when she decided to rent her home--and put up with his relentless pursuit of her. But Antonia soon realized that she probably meant nothing to Marcus at all when Lady Reed arrived in Hertfordshire.
