Book Description:
When a loathsome rake steals one of her most cherished family heirlooms-and nearly her virtue as well!-Francesca Dunroy devises the perfect plan to put him in his place. At a ball being held in her honor-she didn't "take" in her first season, now her family is determined to get her a match in her second-she'll offer him a clandestine kiss sure to convince him to return what is rightfully hers. But in the dark hallways surrounding the ballroom, Francesca makes a terrifying mistake. She seduces the wrong man!
The recipient of Francesca's caresses is none other than Justin Maddox, London's newly titled duke and most eligible bachelor. A defiant Scotsman who disdains London society, he's sworn to steer clear of the ladies of the ton, but he can't escape the memory of Francesca urgently pressing her lips upon his . . . and neither can she. But when a shocking and dangerous secret from Justin's past resurfaces, the couple will have to risk tattered reputations and treacherous enemies to nurture what has quickly become true love.

BEDDING THE HEIRESS, is proof that this master word smith (Maxwell) has not lost her touch. Consistently weaving together skillful plotting, a heady romance, delectable humor, along with a touch of dangerous intrigue has kept this author at the top of her game. Reeling you in from the very first page, Maxwell holds you enthralled until the last page is turned, and leaves you still aching for more. The lead characters are very well-developed with enough detail in their backgrounds that the reader can easily discern their motivations and their interactions with the numerous enhancing secondary characters all cleverly worked in to bring this story to life. Fans like myself, are sure to embrace this new hero who is caught between two worlds and will certainly look forward to the continuance of this fabulous series as Justin's enemies continue plotting to regain control of the sword of the MacKenna in this fabulously entertaining keeper.

Denise B. from CHESAPEAKE, VA wrote on 3/27/2008...This is my favorite author. I loved this book as well.
First,one guy gives up his title to his brother- then mistaken identity- s stolen sword- good story- not boring- masterful men and strong women.
Liked it.
Judy H. from STERLING, CO wrote on 4/23/2007...Justin Maddox, scottish blacksmith, stolen at birth and now restored to his title of Duke. Francesca Dunroy, trying to get her pendant back from a loathsome rake, mistakes Justin for Penthorpe and plants a kiss on him. Thinking him to be Penthorpe and hoping she can seduce him into returning the pendant. This is the beginning of an interesting relationship, which of course escalates.
I had read the book that told of Justin's brother going to
Scotland to find his stolen brother and enjoyed reading of what happened to him. I enjoy reading Cathy Maxwell.
Cathy Maxwell never fails, she knows how to make her characters come alive and the romance is a good too!
Melinda U. from MOULTRIE, GA wrote on 4/10/2007...This is about a young lady trying to retrieve a family heirloom, but instead of the man meeting her who has it, she ends up in the caress of the newly titled duke. It has some twist and turns but over all a very good read.
Typical 'bodice-ripper' novel. Not as steamy as some other authors but it was adequate.
