Book excerpt: "Miss Annette Courtney spent many years begging for donations from the miserly Sir Nigel Montfort on behalf of the poor tenants residing on his estate. Now that he's passed away, she wonders if the new baronet will be just as stingy. But Annette finds her worries are unfounded--as she has inherited Sir Nigel's fortune! Sir Gerard Montfort is outraged. He knew Uncle Nigel believed him a wastrel, yet Sir Gerard never imagined he would inherit his uncle's title and lands, but not a penny to settle his gambling debts. And now Miss Courtney wants to open a school for the local urchins with money that is rightfully his. When the chit has the audacity to ask him to be a school trustee, he's ready to refuse--until he discovers that his duties include some lessons in love from the generous spinster"--From cover.
