Wer the lines around his eyes from laughter or light living? One good look at Ronan Patrick Blakely, Marquis of Herrington, and Gillian Redford thought she knew the answer. This knight in tarnished armor, who had rescued her froma coach accident, now presumed to pluck her from her straitlaced life and send her to perdition! He was clearly a rogue, a rake with a danerous gleam in his eye, determined to chase the last vestiges of propriety from her starchiy life. Did she dre accept the challenge? She was thirty - old enought to know better. Old enough, he said , to kick up her heels and let the devil take the hindmost. A good solid reading copy.
