Mistress by Mistake (Berkley Sensation)
Evaline Pinchley blamed both Madeira and moonlight for her current predicament. If Evaline had not finished almost a whole bottle of Madeira to celebrate finally achieving control of her fortune, and if the moonlight in the garden that night had not been so darned romantic, she most certainly would not have spent one unforgettable night of passion with a tall, dark, and sexy man. When Evaline later discovers her mystery lover is none other than Lord Randolph Dashford, the very same rakish, rumored-to-be-penniless viscount her aunt is hoping will marry Evaline, matters quickly become quite complicated. Even if she did want to marry Dashford—and she is almost certain that marrying the arrogant, insufferable man is the last thing on earth she wants—the impossible nobleman already has a fiancée, a beautiful heiress, no less. Sparkling with superbly crafted characters, humor, and deliciously sexy romance, Heino’s debut, winner of RWA’s Golden Heart award, is splendidly entertaining. --John Charles
