Welcome to Litsy!

An untamed lady...A stranger in the night...And a match made in heaven.
Nothing but a pawn in her uncle’s game for title and station, Miss Rebecca Hawkins is forced to spend her days in the company of the most boring lord to ever cross her path, dreading the day he will finally work up the courage to ask for her hand. Her dreams of adventure are crushed by the duty laid upon her shoulders. Still, her heart dares hope, longing for a man unlike the one her uncle chose for her. A man yearning for adventure as much as she does.
An American at heart, Zachary Caswell travels to England upon inheriting his uncle’s title, determined to put the family estate back on its feet before returning home. However, when a family heirloom is stolen, Zach is forced to mingle with a society he holds in contempt. Vain and simpering misses crowd London’s ballrooms as he seeks to uncover who took his father’s ring…until the night his path crosses that of a woman unlike any he’s ever met.
Dauntless, she offers him her help in exchange for his.
In fact, the lady has a list of unusual requests she sets before him, and although Zach knows he would be wise to refuse her, he finds that he soon longs for the adventurous glow in her eyes. As they work hand in hand, both come to realize that they might be more to the other than merely a helping hand.
However, will they dare admit how they feel?
