A professor kindles passion, but hides his true motives, in this enticing drama about the chances we take for love Noble McEntire is the perfect excuse for Emily Becket to change her straitlaced ways. Tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome, he is new to her small Southern town, which makes him even more alluring. And as it happens, Noble is interested in the Civil War-era letters in her attic that might hold the key to clearing the name of Noble's maligned ancestor--and she's very interested in Noble. But while Emily finds him irresistible and is ready to give herself up to him in unconditional surrender, the professor has deceitful plans of his own. With its unexpected plot twists, Poor Emily is an addictive blend of mystery and romance.   This ebook features an extended biography of Mary Kay McComas.
