Imogen Waterstone has always prided herself on being a thoroughly independent young woman, but now she needs a man of implacable will and nerves of iron. That's why she invited Matthias Marshall, infamous Earl of Colchester, to her home in Upper Strickland. Who better than the legendary explorer to help her lay the perfect trap?
Her scheme is simple, really: She plans to let it be known that when she inherited her uncle's collection of antiquities, she also inherited a map to a fabulous ancient treasure. She's sure that her enemy would risk financial ruin in pursuit of the mythical artifact. And to make doubly sure the scoundrel took the bait, she wants Colchester to pretend that he's out to seduce Imogene so that he, too, could get his hands on her map.
Yet in all of her plotting, Imogene never anticipates Colchester's violent reaction to her request or her own electrifying reaction to him. Neither does she expect that a malevolent threat would emerge from the labyrinth of London--sinister enough to endanger her and Colchester's lives.

Review:
Innocent but intrepid Imogen Waterstone enlists the aid of the fearsome Earl of Colchester in her dangerous pursuit of justice and revenge. Unable to resist the challenge posed by the unconventional beauty, Matthias Marshall finds himself on the trail of a killer and long-lost treasure, but discovers love along the way.
From the Publisher:
Amanda Quick's first novel marked the debut of one of the most accomplished storytellers chronicling the twists and turns of Regency England. Now, for her twelfth enthralling novel, she treats readers once again to the sophisticated writing, dazzling wit, and delightful mischief that have made her a phenomenal success.
For the first time in her thoroughly independent life, Imogen Waterstone needs a man. Not just any man, but Matthias Marshall, the infamous earl of Colchester, the legendary explorer feared for his implacable will and nerves of iron. For who better to help her foil a fortune hunter? Yet in all of her plotting, Imogen never anticipates her electrifying reaction to Matthias ... or that their artful charade through London's chandeliered ballrooms and shadowy gardens would uncover a murderous scheme.
Peopled by a memorable cast of characters, deftly blending suspense and humor, Mischief is a completely captivating read from the author hailed by USA Today as "one of the hottest romance authors today."
