Mary Jo Putney: The Rogue and the Runaway

The Rogue and the Runaway was published by Signet in July 1990 for author Mary Jo Putney. Maxima Collins, an American, was unused to the rigid rules of London and ran away from it all--straight into the arms of Lord Robert Andreville! This book has characters from A Controversial Countess.

Allan Kass gives us a heroine who we know at first glance doesn't fit into regency society by her Indian looking looks, dark straight hair, and turquoise jewelry. The hero is as opposite her as can be and Kass gives us that difference subtly while showing them standing in a library of a great house.
