Lady Emma Wells-Finch, headmistress of St. Gertrude’s School for Girls, is being blackmailed into marrying the insufferable Duke of Beddington, the school’s benefactor. At stake are Emma’s job and the school’s future. Arriving in Texas on a working holiday, headstrong Emma is determined to cause just enough of a scandal to force the Duke to end their ‘engagement’.

Misunderstood playboy pro golfer Kenny Traveller has caused a scandal of his own, and been suspended from the PGA as a result. His only hope of being reinstated to the tour in time to play at the Masters is to chauffeur Emma around while she's in Texas, avoiding any more trouble …

This is the kind of story Susan Elizabeth Phillips is known for - fun, contemporary romance with sparkling dialogue and a character driven narrative.

Emma and Kenny are complete opposites, but as they say, opposites attract and watching the conflicts and antics of these two is great entertainment and there is some laugh out loud moments throughout. There’s also a cute secondary romance and some family issues that need to be resolved to add some depth.

If you’re looking for a light romance that’s all about the characters and their relationships, Susan Elizabeth Phillips is sure to entertain. ( )

the only reason I finished this is because I was stuck at the laundromat.

I disliked 98.2% of the characters in this one. they're all horrible to each other- manipulative, nasty, liars, abusive, it just keeps going. I was annoyed through the whole thing. ( )

Strong female , male main characters, fireworks and battles between them. Humorous. Also includes relationships with friends and family to add a little depth and humor. Love books with strong women. Easy read. ( )

Book description
A British Lady

Lady Emma Wells-Finch, the oh-so-proper headmistressof England's St. Gertrude's School for Girls, is a woman on a mission—she has two weeks to lose her reputation. Arriving in Texas with skirts flying, umbrella pointing, and beautiful mouth issuing orders, she knows only one thing will save her from losing everything she holds dear: complete and utter disgrace!

A Texas Rascal

World-famous playboy-athlete Kenny Traveler has kickedup his boot heels one too many times, and now he's suspended from the sport he loves. Only one thing will restore his career:complete and utter respectability! Unfortunately, he's been blackmailed into chauffeuring bossy, single-minded Lady Emma, and she's hell-bent on visiting honkytonks,chasing down tattoo parlors, and worse.. lots worse.

Love, All-American Style

When a gorgeous man who can't afford another scandal meets a hardheaded woman who's determined to cause one, anything can happen. But love? Oh, dear. That's impossible.That's outrageous. That's... inevitable
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0380794489, Mass Market Paperback)

Lady Emma Wells-Finch is determined to cause a scandal. Nothing big, you understand, just enough to convince her pompous British suitor that she's not an eligible candidate for marriage. She's thinking along the lines of, oh, maybe a discreet tattoo. But when suspended Texas golf pro Kenny Traveler meets her plane at Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport, Emma decides that he's the perfect candidate to destroy her reputation.

Kenny, on the other hand--who desperately wants to be reinstated on the golf tour--is just as determined to keep a low profile and remain squeaky-clean. If Lady Emma weren't a close personal friend of the golf commissioner's wife, he'd never have agreed to squire her around town. Unfortunately for Kenny, his weakness for the British beauty is growing daily, and it seems as though Emma may have feelings for him as well. In a bizarre turn of events, wild man Kenny finds himself trying to keep the prim and proper British lady from causing a scandal the size of which even the lone-star state has never seen, and the results will leave you laughing with delight.

Below the hilarious dialogue that is Susan Elizabeth Phillips's trademark, Kenny, Emma, and the charming array of characters that populate this exceptional contemporary are warm and wonderfully human. Emma saves her Kenny and he saves her right back--never were two people more gloriously deserving of each other. --Lois Faye Dyer
