Description: SHE WAS TO TUTOR THE MAN SHE LOVED...

... and it sent young Evelyn's heart a-racing! For though Thomas Byers was a gambler with a reputation of being a ladybird chaser, every look from his dark eyes tempted the scholarly beauty to put down her books and learn to love.

Fresh from her studies at Oxford and a disappointing whirl with the London ton, Evelyn was thrilled to come home to Boston and rejoin her parents and General Brooks, her imposing, white-whiskered grandfather who had served under Washington himself. All she had to do was foil her mother's matchmaking schemes and go ahead with her own plans to tutor pupils at nearby Harvard. But the golden-haired girl didn' count on the general's baiting a love trap of his own! Now Evelyn must play teacher to a rake in need of funds, a charmer whom she dare not trust - the one man she loves.
