Nowhere Near Respectable

Mary Jo Putney’s mastery of the historical romance is evident in every word of Nowhere Near Respectable. Damian Mackenzie is an incorrigible gambler just honorable enough to save Lady Kiri Lawford from dangerous smugglers. That does not, however, mean he has any desire to return her romantic interest-until he learns Kiri's not exactly the prim and proper lady society expects her to be.
