About the book
PASSION IN PERIL Penelope has stolen the heart of the fabulous Earl of Hestleton--rich beyond words, handsome beyond compare, the most eligible lord in the realm--who thought he could toy with the pretty country miss, bring her out at Almack's, then toss her to the haut ton! But when the Earl learns that he is the prize in her Aunt Augusta's social-climbing scheme, he begins to doubt Penelope's love. Can the belle keep her beau--or will her aunt's ambitious plans force Penelope to flee in desperate disgrace?
