A Dangerous Man

American widow Eleanor Scarbrough is about to set all of Regency London on its ear... Eleanor has already been looked on askance as 'the bossy American' by London society, the very antithesis of British virtue and propriety. Now, at the death of her husband, she has been appointed trustee to his estate, and the proverbial fur is flying. Infuriated, her mother–in–law sends Lord Anthony Neale to put an end to Eleanor's nefarious gold–digging ways.

Anthony and Eleanor clash immediately. He thinks she's a siren who uses beauty to entrap men. She thinks he's a haughty, cold English snob. Despite their initial misgivings, they are increasingly drawn to each other through an odd attraction. But someone is threatening her, and as the malicious break–ins begin to increase, Eleanor is convinced that Anthony is the prime suspect!
