The Ivory Dragon
Emily Hendrickson
A chance encounter
One could blame it all on the rain...For when headstrong
Lady Harriet enters the barn that fateful spring afternoon,
she is after nothing more than a few moments of shelter
from the coming shower. Once inside, however, she finds
quite a bit more than she bargained for: a curiously carved
wooden box, a cat nursing a litter of newborn kittens, and
an odd, yet handsome, Lord Stanhope snooping about the
place. What could an encounter such as this ever come to?
Plenty, if that old wooden box contains the rare antique
ivory dragon pin recently reported stolen from the estate
of Baron Rothson--and even more if Lord Stanhope's brother
has been accused of stealing it. Now, finding themselves
together in a conundrum of sorts, the two must learn to
become fast friends. And if they aren't too stubborn to
realize it, they may also find themselves falling in love.
A little rain never hurt anyone...
