Aspiring archaeologist Mellie Lowery has only two weeks to unearth a valuable antiquity at a Roman villa on her family estate in Kent before her father sends her off to the London marriage market. Unfortunately, Lord St. Leger, the aristocratic scholar helping her with the excavation, treats her with arrogance. He believes she is like her sisters--diehard coquettes who view archaeology only as a means to flirt. If St. Leger and Mellie can't reconcile their differences, they may overlook the greatest find of their lives: love.
Winner of the Golden Heart award from Romance Writers of America. Fans of Cheryl Bolen, Vivienne Lorret and Georgette Heyer will love this sweet historical romance set in the Regency England of Jane Austen. Originally published by Zebra Books (Kensington).
