Publisher Description
Time leads one along a soulful journey to find one’s true love.
A spitfire debutante. A dashing imposter. One stolen kiss sets them on their path.
Margaret Worthington was a lady who failed to escape the clutches of time. She was now forced to endure a dreadful season visiting the stifling ballrooms, wearing fancy dresses and false smiles. When she would rather ride her horse across the open fields in her comfortable breeches, enjoying the fresh air. Her penchant for trouble lands her in the arms of a lord who she had fantasized about all season. After they share a scandalous kiss, Maggie’s opinion makes a swift change. Soon a mystery filled with scandal and secrets sweeps up Maggie within its grasp. Is Maggie’s love powerful enough to overlook the secrets of her soul mate?
Crispin Dracott played everyone false, even himself. As hard as he tried to lead an honest life, the actions from his past kept pulling him under with their deceit. When he secured a position to bring the villain who destroyed him to justice, he never imagined a tempting minx would claim his heart and soul. With orders to keep Lady Margaret Worthington out of trouble, he fell victim to her innocent charm and couldn’t resist stealing one kiss after another from her sweet lips. His desire for Maggie led danger to surround them in every direction. Will Maggie forgive him once he admits of his deception?
A wild and carefree lady and a gentleman filled with darkness discover a passion they cannot deny. Would the solace he finds in her innocence keep his demons at bay? Or would they destroy the precious hold of their love for one another?
The Tempting Minx is the first book in Laura A. Barnes’s Fate of the Worthingtons Series. If you love a story filled with mysterious secrets and scandalous kisses, then you’ll love this new series.

What Is Going On?
Maggie is preparing for her debut, or at least her mother is. She would rather ride her horse through the park than attend a ball. Crispin is working for her detective brother to help bring down an infamous thievery operation. By helping to bring Lady L’s organization down, he hopes to right the pain of his past. From the moment he sees Maggie sneak out of the house to ride her horse, he is taken with her. She soon feels the same about him. Danger, suspense, secrets (a lot of secrets), and a rather chaotic love story make this first story in a new series one that you can’t put down. There are many questions. What happened to Crispin in his youth? Where is Lord Ravencroft? Why is Lady Langdon so intent on destroying the Worthington family? Oh, and who is Rogers? One more, what happens next?! Great story!

Confusing
This is not a stand alone. Far too many characters to follow. And it ends abruptly. Clearly, you’re expected to read the whole series.
A heroine who sneaks out and travels the streets of London after dark, and into v unsafe neighborhoods?
A hero who claims to be a viscount but is never caught out by the all knowing ton?
Not a favorite
deceit, secrets and steam
What a wild ride! This new series piggybacks off of the Matchmaking Madness series, focusing on Reese Worthington’s family. In this story, Maggie, the youngest of his siblings, is being coerced into having a season in London. When she and Crispin, her brother Graham’s new assistant at his detective agency, meet, they fall for each other. However, a wanted criminal, Lady L, has declared revenge upon Reese Worthington and his family, and intends to use Crispin and Maggie to get it. This is a story filled with pain, deceit and secrets. As promised, love prevails….even though the journey there is rocky at best. As a series starter, it doesn’t get much better than this. You will find action, intrigue and steam all intricately woven throughout a story wherein two soulmates find each other. It is really well done and I can hardly wait to see what happens next.
