Mary Balogh - Slightly Dangerous

Be prepared to laugh out loud as you read scenes that are so hilarious you cannot imagine any other outcome, and be prepared to weep as these two souls struggle and strain to find common ground. Mary Balogh shows us once again why so many people think she is the mistress of the Regency romance! I wish that I had a dozen roses to give this exceptional novel!
Paula Klug, A Romance Review

When Viscount Mowbury invites Wulfric Bedwyn, Duke of Bewcastle, to his sisters country house party, Lady Renable has to scramble to find another lady guest to balance numbers. Christine Derrick, widow and part-time schoolteacher, is persuaded much against her will to be that lady.

The cold, aloof duke and the fun-loving, accident-prone Christine are about as mismatched as a couple could possibly be, and they dislike each other from the start. But there is a definite attraction between them too, and soon Wulfric, much to his surprise, is in determined pursuit of an elusive Christineeven after the house party is over.
