    About this ebook

    A Lady In Disguise

    With no dowry and unremarkable looks, Jessamyne Calderwood sees herself as a penniless country mouse. But when her greedy family attempts to marry her off, the mouse becomes a wily vixen .

    Determined to escape a loveless marriage, "Jamie" disguises herself as a boy and manages to find a position working in the gardens on the estate of Richard, Earl Hardinge. There she remains undetected until Richard rescues her from an attack. To his astonishment, he finds he's not holding a boy, but the soft body of a delectable young woman .
