Recently Mr. Mawdsleyโs donkey escaped from his stall, raced down the road, and somehow found his way into an enclosed pasture. Mr. Cairdโs prized mare was innocently grazing when the ill-bred seducer had his way with her. Now it appears the mare has conceived, and a feud is raging between Caird, who demands financial compensation, and Mawdsley, who insists that had the pasture fencing been in better repair, the clandestine meeting would never have occurred. Worse still, it has been suggested that the mare is a shameless lightskirt and did not try nearly hard enough to preserve her virtue.
Lisa KleypasItโs a risk Iโm willing to take. This happens once in a lifetime. You meet someone and have this crazy reaction โฆ you touch her skin and itโs the best skin youโve ever felt, and no perfume on earth could be better than her smell, and you know you could never be bored with her because sheโs interesting even when sheโs doing nothing. Even without knowing everything about her, you get her. You know who she is, and it works for you on every level.
