The Unconventional Miss Dane — Francesca Shaw

A dashing neighbor and a stolen kiss...

Antonia Dane had returned to her recently inherited family home, Rye End Hall, to discover that the house and surrounding grounds were in a horrendous state of disrepair. Her neighbor, Lord Marcus Allington, offered to buy the grounds, and Antonia was tempted--until he kissed her! She would not sell her precious land to such a man! But eccentric Antonia found herself having to accept Marcus's support when she decided to rent her home--and put up with his relentless pursuit of her. But Antonia soon realized that she probably meant nothing to Marcus at all when Lady Reed arrived in Hertfordshire.
