SWEETESET SCOUNDREL PB – ELIZABETH HOYT

"SHE S TAKING CHARGE Prim, proper, and thrifty, Eve Dinwoody is all business when it comes to protecting her brother s investment. But when she agrees to control the purse strings of London s premier pleasure garden, Harte s Folly, she finds herself butting heads with an infuriating scoundrel who can t be controlled. HE S RUNNING THE SHOW Bawdy and bold, Asa Makepeace doesn t have time for a penny-pinching prude like Eve. As the garden s larger-than-life owner, he s already dealing with self-centered sopranos and temperamental tenors. He s not about to let an aristocratic woman boss him around . . . no matter how enticing she is. BUT LOVE CONQUERS ALL In spite of her lack of theatrical experience-and her fiery clashes with Asa-Eve is determined to turn Harte s Folly into a smashing success. But the harder she tries to manage the stubborn rake, the harder it is to ignore his seductive charm and raw magnetism. There s no denying the smoldering fire between them-and trying to put it out would be the greatest folly of all . . ."
