A Hint of Mischief

Book excerpt: From the delightful new voice of Katie Rose comes a totally unique historical romance: a clever and utterly irresistible tale of New York City in the "Age of Innocence," where a lady who talks to spirits discovers just how heavenly passion can be when you add..."A Hint of Mischief. For the bewitching Jennifer Appleton and her charming sisters, there is nothing the least bit wicked about holding a sUance. The spirits the trio conjure up seem to offer the unhappy matrons of Victorian Manhattan a great deal of comfort...and after all, impoverished young ladies have to make a living somehow. So it's something of a shock when a darkly handsome and coldly furious stranger shows up at their door, aiming accusations of fraud--and his remarkably compelling gaze--at lovely, wide-eyed Jennifer. Convinced she's swindled his grieving mother out of a sizable sum, Gabriel Forester swears he'll put this brazen conniver out of business for good. But the lady he confronts is a total revelation--and a surprising temptation. Now, as the fiery opponents square off, passion flares unexpectedly, and Gabriel and Jennifer find themselves drawn into a devilish game of seduction where they must learn to ignore the ghostly voices of the past...and listen to their hearts.
