About this ebook
The handsome but arrogant Viscount Charles Hawksborough desperately wanted to catch the infernally insolent thief who had held him up at pistol point on the King’s Highway and ridden off with his family’s inheritance and jewels.
Hawksborough just as desperately tried not to want the piquant and penniless Miss Amanda Colby when the young lady and her twin brother came to stay at his London townhouse at the height of the social season.
The viscount feared his own desire for this slip of a girl when he was about to wed the most beautiful and more suitable Lady Mary Dane. Meanwhile, Amanda feared he would discover she was the thief before she could atone for the crime. Whatever was to happen, it was clear that neither were prepared for what was to take place in this bewildering labyrinth of love and larceny.
“Chesney is a romance writer who deftly blends humor and adventure . . . [Sustaining] her devoted audience to the last gasp.” —Booklist

Reviews for The Viscount's Revenge
13 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Like most of Marion Chesney's writing, this book is a very enjoyable, lighthearted Regency romance full of misunderstandings between the hero and heroine. All this is largely exacerbated by the supporting characters, from Amanda's tactless but in the end surprisingly perceptive twin Richard, to Hawksborough's scheming fianceé, bossy mother, and tomboy sister. But of course everything ends happily... well, for those who deserve it. ;-)
