Search - The Devil's Temptation

From Amazon:

Lady Maura Daventry has been forced to endure the condemnation and whispered speculation of society ever since the murder of her scandalous mother. But when Maura inadvertently discovers that the wrong person might have been held responsible for the crime, she sets out to find answers by teaming up with Gabriel Sutcliffe, Earl of Hawksley, the one man who could prove to be a threat to her vulnerable heart: the devilishly handsome and dangerously seductive son of the very man once accused of her mother's death...

This book started out great, with chemistry sparks flying between the hero and heroine. However, it began to sour for me, when 250 pages in the heroine is still stubbornly obstinate about telling the hero the truth of what she is doing sneaking around trying to solve her mother's murder. No matter how badly she insulted the hero, he came back to rescue her time & again. He had more patience than I did.
