Exquisite

Description for EXQUISITE by Joan Overfield:

Desperate to recover the fake marble Roman head that her unprincipled uncle had sold to the Marchioness of Stanton, Rachel Manvers breaks into the Stanton estate and is discovered by the devastatingly handsome Marquis of Stanton, who happens to be investigating counterfeit artifacts.

Rachel Manvers' unscrupulous uncle was selling her extraordinary sculptured copies of marble Roman heads as genuine antiquities -- and one had just been acquired by the Marchioness of Stanton, mother of England's foremost authority on Roman antiquities. In desperation, Rachel broke into the Marchioness' home to replace the reproduction with the original before the deception was discovered. She barely escaped capture by Nicholas Woodward, the Marquis of Stanton himself, who was astonished to discover that the intruder was a woman! Now Rachel cannot escape the devastating Marquis -- on his undercover investigation of counterfeit antiquities that brings him close enough to save her life, ignite her passions, and risk a scandal that only marriage can resolve!
