Miss Treadwell’s Talent
Barbara Metzger
Finders Keepers
One-and-twenty and still unwed, Marlene Treadwell has a
talent for finding people and things, but not husbands.
High-spirited and unconventional, she is more a worthy
adversary than a blushing bride-a fact made all too clear to
the Earl of Hyatt when he comes to call. Well-favored, well-
bred, and well-financed, the Earl is nicknamed "The Ideal "
bran enraptured society, especially those members with
daughters to wed. But his long bachelorhood has ended in
an engagement that may end in a mystery, for his fiancee
has disappeared....
Upon meeting the boorish earl, Marlene is convinced the
girl ran off with good reason. ..until his lips claim hers
in a
breathtaking kiss! Caught off her guard, Marlene believes
she has lost her mind as well as her manners. But she and
the nonplused nobleman form a heated alliance, sparring
with words and succumbing to passion. Soon, Marlene
begins to curse her inborn talent, because the more time
she spends in the Earl's embrace, the more she wishes his
betrothed to remain lost....
