One of my favorite historicals. Scarred hero with a shady past and a bluestocking heroine. Its a sweet and fun read, Amanda Quick at her best.

There was no doubt about it. What Miss harriet Pomeroy needed was a man. Someone powerful and clever who could help her rout the unscrupulous thieves who were using her beloved caves to hide their loot. But when Harriet summoned Gideon Westbrook, Viscount St. justin, to her aid, she could not know that she was summoning the devil himself.
Dubbed the Beast of Blackthorne Hall for his scarred face and lecherous past, Gideon was strong and fierce and notoriously menacing. Yet Harriet could not find it in her heart to fear him. For in his tawny gaze she sensed a savage pain she longed to soothe...and a searing passion she yearned to answer. Now, caught up in the beast's clutches, Harriet must find a way to win his heart--and evade the deadly trap of a scheming villain who would see them parted for all time.

Although everyone else fears Gideon, known as the Beast of Blackthorne, Harriet did not. Now she needs to find a way to reach his heart.

She was an impetuous beauty too innocent to know she was playing with fire.
