Fair Game
Diane Farr
Clarissa is a young woman of unearthly beauty—and
unfortunate parentage. Ostracized by the family of her
deceased nobleman father, the refined innocent is left to
the devices of her estranged mother, an infamous harlot
known as La Gianetta. Even worse, the unscrupulous—and
hardly maternaal—Gianetta owes a large debt to a powerful,
wealthy womanizer. And she can think of only one
possession the demanding gentleman might find of
satisfactory value ...
Trevor Whitlatch is quite sure that his lovely new
acquisition is in every way her mother's daughter—despite
the girl's oddly respectable personna. But a tangle with a
hat pin and a most peculiar sojourn in the country are
about to teach him that the apple can fall quite far from
the tree. And when Clarissa discovers there's more to a man
than her teachers at the Bathurst Ladies' Academy let on,
everyone's fair game ...
