Midsummer MagicThorndike Press, 2000 - 558 páginas Philip Hawksbury, the Earl of Rothermere, obeying his father's dying wish, hies himself to Scotland to offer for one of the daughters of the Earl of Ruthven. Warned of the earl's arrival and his mission, Frances Kilbracken disguises herself as a bespectacled dowd to avoid being chosen by him. But choose her he does, and for all the wrong reasons. When the newly married couple returns to England, Philip dumps Frances at his ancestral estate and heads back to his old life in London. Then guilt drives the earl home, only to discover his wife's deceit -- and begin an uproarious battle of the sexes. |
