Summary: First He Wants Her Behind Bars, then He Wants Her in his Bed
Review: Lark Cummings has been accused by her cousin of being the reason why he'd embezzled a small fortune from his employers. Accused on his death bed. He'd taken pills and took a long time to die, accusing Lark the whole time. Lark is taken to court, facing prison. She is innocent and suspects her cousin may have been having an affair with a notorious older woman and that he had been protecting her by blaming Lark, but nobody seems to care.James Wolfe is the prosecuting attorney hired by her cousin's employer, who wants to see Lark behind bars. He is one of the best and he destroys Lark when she's on the witness stand, then for reasons she can't fathom, they drop the charges against her and all of a sudden, she is free to go. Lark is happy to be free, but she considers herself unemployable. Then out of the blue she is offered a job working for a rich American woman. Lark genuinely likes the woman and settles into the job. Then she finds out the woman is James Wolfe's mother. She hates Wolfe, after all, he'd tried to send her to prison. Wolfe on the other hand does not hate the virginal Lark. Only three stars from me for this one. A silly story about a virgin who swoons at the very first kiss from a man she loathes. On the positive side, the story was well written, but plot wise it was not up to Ms. Jordan's fine standards. A Harlequin Dreamers Review by Chole Randall
