The Rake and the Redhead

An English Lord wants a better view from his country estate. In order to get it, he must move an entire village. His tenents would go along quietly and without complaint, except for a fiesty redhead (Miss Hyacinth Dancy -- who is somewhat homeless herself.) Miss Dancy cannot find it in her nature to keep quiet while the lives of these good people are disrupted on a Lord's whim! One of those lives is Miss Dancy's spinster cousin whose house she is staying in. Hycinthe Dancy is the female protagonist (aka heroine) and she's everything you'd want a heroine to be... strong-willed, beautiful, intelligent and kind. If Miss Dancy cannot change this man's mind, she will make sure that his lorship is ethical about the whole thing. How could she let him be less than a responsible titled land-holder? If you're a natural redhead, then you know why Miss Dancy is so compelled. If you've ever died your hair red, then you know why she feels so confident to go up against this man (or any man ;o) No murders. No heavy intrigue... Respite is the perfect word for Ms. Hendrickson's novels. Catherine Scott (aka Eadarainn, which is Gaelic for: Between Us) www.catherinescott.net
