An Eligible Connection

Impish young Delilah wasn't at all prepared to live at the home of her cousin, the fierce but attractive duke. Her red hair and freckles were clues to make her mischievous ways that seemed to make her unacceptable to society. One of her most outrageous acts was the tendre she developed for her younger cousin Neal, despite his engagement to a very proper girl.Then Delilah's mischief went even farther out of bounds. For she could not but notice the strained relations between Sandor and his beautiful cousin Binnie. She learned that years ago Binnie had laughed at the duke's proposal, and from then on, there was no stopping Delilah and her meddling... Lieutenant Neal Baskerville would never forget his first glimpse of Miss Delilah Mannering, perched upon a stile, her ragged skirts hitched up to her knees, in one hand a half-eaten peach, a monstrously ugly dog sprawled at her bare and very dirty feet. This was the heiress he was to bring back to Brighton, to be taken under his sister's wing?
