Synopsis

Sir John Dewey Fanning (Jack to his familiars) is magistrate in a corner of Oxfordshire plagued by one incident of petty mischief after another. To add to his aggravation, his matchmaking mama is due for a prolonged visit, just when his domestic staff is at sixes and sevens.

Jack turns to Miss Madeline Hennessey both to organize his household and to serve as his mother's temporary companion, despite the fact that he's long harbored feelings for the ever-competent (and lovely!) Miss Hennessey. Madeline reluctantly accepts the position, and proximity leads to investigations of an amorous nature. Can Jack stop the crime spree and steal Madeline's heart, too?

Contains mature themes.

I don't remember too much about it. I thought the sex was good and I liked the heroine very much. Although, the reasons the H/h were a......more

Goodreads review by Pamela

We first met Sir John Dewey Fanning — Jack to his friends — in Axel as a suspect in the murder of Colonel Stoneleigh. Axel and Abby puzzled over why a man who seemed so kind and honorable would be friends with Abby’s despicable late husband. We find out the answers to that and many other questions i......more
