Dear Friends, Bad luck, bad timing and a truly bad decision have taken the mischief right out of this Menace. Grown-up and wiser, I'm finally ready to take charge of my life. I'm through being impulsive. I'm done being reckless. I will not take up with a scoundrel again. So much for good intentions. Jake Kimball is a legend—daring, dashing and dangerous. A treasure hunter by trade, he has traveled the globe seeking adventure and stealing hearts. But now he's set his sights on me. Facing a threat unlike any other, Jake needs something only I can provide. He lures me with a dream I believed lost forever, and tempts me with the chance to change my bad luck. Dare a Menace put her trust in a scoundrel? Maybe. As long as her father doesn't find out. Love, Kat McBride
