This Rake Of Mine

From USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Boyle comes the first book in a fun, new series, The Bachelor Chronicles, revolving around the lovely matchmaking girls of Miss Emery's Establishment for the Education of Genteel Ladies. Lord John 'Jack' Tremont never set out to ruin Miss Miranda Mabberly, but when he mistakenly kissed the young lady thinking she was his current mistress, his devil-may-care life changed irreparably. That passionate moment, a kiss forever embellished in his memory, not only ruined the lady's reputation - her fiance the Earl of Oxley called off their engagement - but Jack was buried in a hailstorm of scandal and cut off without a farthing by his brother, the Duke of Parkerton. But in a stroke of fate, they meet again years later when Jack has to collect his disgraced niece from Miss Emery's Establishment for the Education of Genteel Ladies, where Miranda is now teaching. Though Jack doesn't recognise her and she wants nothing to do with the scoundrel who caused her ruin, the students are all atwitter at the attraction that crackles between them. In a scheme worthy of Napoleon, the girls come up with a plan to get their teacher and Lord John together, and Miranda and Jack don't stand a chance ...Boyle, Elizabeth is the author of 'This Rake Of Mine ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780060783990 and ISBN 0060783990.
