SHE'S TAKING CHARGE
Prim, proper, and thrifty, Eve Dinwoody is all business when it comes to protecting her brother's investment. But when she agrees to control the purse strings of London's premier pleasure garden, Harte's Folly, she finds herself butting heads with an infuriating scoundrel who can't be controlled.
HE'S RUNNING THE SHOW
Bawdy and bold, Asa Makepeace doesn't have time for a penny-pinching prude like Eve. As the garden's larger-than-life owner, he's already dealing with self-centered sopranos and temperamental tenors. He's not about to let an aristocratic woman boss him around . . . no matter how enticing she is.
BUT LOVE CONQUERS ALL
In spite of her lack of theatrical experience-and her fiery clashes with Asa-Eve is determined to turn Harte's Folly into a smashing success. But the harder she tries to manage the stubborn rake, the harder it is to ignore his seductive charm and raw magnetism. There's no denying the smoldering fire between them-and trying to put it out would be the greatest folly of all . . .

      What do a duke's illegitimate daughter and a rough-and-tumble theater owner have in common? Narrator Ashford McNab makes Eve and Asa's unlikely pairing a foregone conclusion. Further, her reading gives the story's eighteenth-century-London setting verisimilitude for contemporary listeners. Eve Dinwoody holds the purse strings to Asa Makepeace's theater production, HARTE'S FOLLY. Her prickly manner doesn't hold up long against Asa's blunt masculine appeal. Add in the mystery of who is sabotaging the production and solid secondary characters, whom McNab voices in Cockney and Caribbean accents, and it's hard to imagine better historical romance. McNab's greatest success is her projection of the undercurrent of longing between Eve and Asa. Her realistic delivery of their shared secrets makes the romance that much more convincing. C.A.
