Lady at Risk

by Barbara Hazard

A Wealth of Temptation

Suddenly Miss Sarah Eaton was richer than her wildest dreams. A legacy from a grandfather she barely knew not only made her mistress of a magnificent country manor but also made her into a woman of wealth that many a man would do anything to possess.

How many men, she found out. There was the gentlemanly Daniel Horton, whom she felt she could trust with handling far more than her financial affairs. There was the devastatingly handsome curate, Forrest Blake, whose ardent attentiveness stirred more than her soul. And most disturbing and decidedly dangerous was the elegant, arrogant Lord Miles Griffin, who could only be after her money since she had no title to offer-but who knew all too well how to get what he wanted and make her want it too...

Reviews

[Melissainau · Rating 3 out of 5]

A surprisingly good storyline to which the romance comes a distant second. Villain obvious.

[Frances · Rating 3 out of 5]

Best books by this author that I have read. If she only had a little humor in her writing, she would be a four or five star author.
