Her Officer And Gentleman by Karen Hawkins

No ordinary highwayman...

A mere whisper of the name "Gentleman James" sends chills throughout the ton (and thrills the ladies who have heard rumors of his amorous exploits). But the dashing brigand never dreamed that the passing of the father he never knew would leave him with a title, a fortune...and a mission.

No predictable lady...

Considered unmarriageable at twenty-five, Lady Elizabeth has the perfect life, happily snuggled among her beloved books while caring for her curmudgeonly grandfather. Or so she thinks until she meets Christian Llevanth, the dark and mysterious Viscount Westerville, and discovers the delicious ache of desire. Elizabeth finds herself longing for more -- more romance, more excitement, and definitely more passion. But when does "more" become "too much"?

Karen Hawkins grew up in Tennessee, part of a large extended family that includes her brother and sister, an adoptive sister, a slew of foster siblings, and a variety of exchange students. She would snuggle under the comforter on her bed with a flashlight and a book to escape the chaos (and to hide when it was her turn to do the dishes), a behavior she still practices to this day.
