"Devil" Mackenzie, the Marquis of Ellsworth, has no concerns about propriety when he assumes the lease of his late great-aunt's half of the family town house for his lady. But that half of the house had been bequeathed to Nell Hetherington, whom Dev remembers as a hoydenish brat from his soldiering days in the Peninsula. Only Nell isn't a brat any longer--she's an attractive, fiercely independent young lady who summarily evicts Dev's ladybird and opens a school for "Young Brides of His Majesty's Officers" in her half of the house. The bold young miss even has plans to take over his half as well

"Devil" Mackenzie is appalled. Such outrageous schemes Such lack of propriety What can he do but protect Nell from her own folly? And what better way than take her part of the house, by hook or by crook ... or even in a game of cards.

Spunky heroine

This is a fun book, with a spunky heorine and a sexy hero. There is a lot of action, right from the first page, and will keep you intrigued through to the end. Our heroine Nell, has inherited half a house. She decides to live there against her solicitor's advice and start a school. But not just any school... Living in the other side of the house is the Marquis of Ellington (Devil for short.) He is a rake and Nell knew him years before when he was a Lieutenant under her father, and Nell has always had a tendre for him. When Devil finds out that Nell has inherited the other half of the house he tries to buy it from her, and the sparks begin to fly.....VERY ENJOYABLE!
