About Romantic Lady

CAROLINE WAS QUITE A BEAUTY... She was a young red-headed woman with all the impetuous gaiety that goes with red hair. And though her life as governess to her uncle's children seemed rather dreary, nothing could stifle her romantic spirit. And it was just this romantic spirit that caused Caroline to do a dangerous and impulsive act. An act that would nearly lose her all her friends. An act that would jeopardize both her liberty and honor. Only one person could save Caroline from such a fate--Guy Ravenshaw. And he had no taste for romantic ladies.
