    About this ebook

    From bed partners . . .

    Two years ago, while on assignment for the Crown, darkly handsome Garrett Burke left Lady Ivy Wentworth sleeping naked in his bed as he went in search of the missing Martello diamonds. After apprehending the dastardly thief, he intended to spend the rest of his life in the arms of the auburn-haired beauty. But when the case came to a shocking and dangerous end, Garrett was certain he'd been betrayed . . .

    To partners in crime

    Ivy once loved Garrett with a virtuous heart, but these days she can barely stand him. Arriving at a deserted estate on a mysterious errand, she never expected to see him again, nor feel the same ecstasy she once did at his touch. Now, joined with him in the search for the legendary jewels, she is willing to risk everything. Everything, that is, except her heart . . .

    Author

    Adele Ashworth

    I've always loved to write, but after my first attempt at a novel (nine chapters of Plastic City, the story of underwater-dwelling orphans in the twenty-third century that I wrotein the sixth grade), I took some time to get my bachelor'sdegree and to try my hand at other careers before I returnedto my first passion: creative writing. After lots and lots of perseverance, hard work, and a bit of very good luck, My Darling Caroline went on to win the Romance Writers of America's RITA® Award for Best First Book of 1998. I live in Texas with my family, exploring history as Idelve into the hearts of my characters.

      This book read like a boy's adventure book with all the secret passages and although fun, for me it distracted a bit from the romance. All in all I liked it, though.
    • 3/5
      I got this in a giveway, possibly Librarything, but I can't see to find this on my list. In any event, as always, this does not effect my review.I was so bored for about he first 60 pages I almost gave up, but after that I quite liked it. One point off for the excruciatingly slow start and one point off for ugly=evil. Otherwise a nicely written romance with a very appealing heroine.
