When Reinleigh Drummond, the sixth earl of Sherborne, becomes the heir to his uncle, the duke of Wroxford, Rein's life becomes a living misery. His uncle decides that Rein must first prove he is worth his inheritance by living for one month without aid from friends or family, and without telling a single soul of his plight. He must live by his wits alone, otherwise he will not see a cent. As good luck, or bad luck, would have it, Rein is literally knocked over the head by a young woman named Anna Brooks, an aspiring inventor. Feeling badly that she harmed him, Anna offers to help repay him. And Rein sees a possible way out of his month of need...but doesn't expect to find love in the process.
Bestselling author Pamela Britton blames her zanny sense of humor on the amount of Fruity Pebbles she consumes. Not wanting to actually have to work for a living, Pamela has enjoyed a variety of odd careers such as modeling, working for race teamsincluding NASCAR's Winston Cupand drawing horses for a living.
Over the years, Pamela's stories have won her numerous accolades. In 2004 alone her novel, Seduced, was named one of the best romances of 2003 by the staff of Barnes and Noble.com, The Oakland Press, RT BOOKclub Magazine, and Romance Readers at Heart. Seduced also won a National Reader's Choice Award for best long historical romance, and was nominated for a HOLT Medallion. One might think this would give Pamela a very big head when, in fact, she's kept humble by the laundry, scooping manure and a precocious four-year-old who's not impressed mommy "colors books".
Pamela feels privileged to write full-time from her ranch in Northern California where she lives with her husband, daughter and, at last count, fifteen four-legged friends.
