Opis

Calamity Jane Mary Jane Roark is an adventurous young lady who can't help it if she causes all sorts of calamity with her escapades. At fifteen it was an innocent science experiment that caused the fire in the basement after reading Frankenstein. And as for that Robin Hood episode at sixteen, it was Christmas time, for heaven's sake, and she felt as if the orphans needed the presents more than the kids with over indulgent parents. Currently at seventeen, Sherlock Holmes is her novel of choice, so it's Detective Roark on the case. Her mission: sneak into a high-society ball without getting caught, find out what Prince Charming is wearing, and report it to her friend, Annemarie, before the society page comes out with it in the morning paper. Prince Charming In all accuracy, Courtney James Gentry III, better known as Kurt to his friends, had no nobility running through his vein at all. He may have a rich and prominent father, but that certainly didn't make him royalty by any means. He was nothing but a humble yet successful attorney at law, whose father happens to be pressing him into finding a bride. But to Kurt it seemed the only women interested in him were high society snobs who were more attracted to his wealth than to him. Now to make matters worse, Kurt's father is throwing a ball and inviting all the available society young maidens to come. Grudgingly, Kurt agreed to choose one for the first dance. At the time he has no idea he's choosing someone who could cause as much mayhem as Calamity Jane. Two Months Later Mary Jane knew only too well how important it is that her father never find out about her enchanted evening with the Prince. As it turns out, like most of her capers, it's not long before it comes back to haunt her. But how was she to know her father would hire the very man she had danced barefooted in a Venus fountain with to be his new attorney? She'll be lucky if she doesn't get restricted to the house until her eighteenth birthday.
