Only one person can give her the freedom she seeks–but is it worth the risk?
Maisie Kentworth is being forced to stay on her parents’ ranch. After a short-lived relationship with the wrong man, she’s worried about inflaming things further between her former beau and her protective family. Left to rue her mistakes, she keeps busy exploring the idle mine at the edge of their property, where she discovers a great treasure.
Boone Bragg is also stuck. With his parents on vacation, the management of Bragg Mining falls on him, and one of his advisors wants him as a son-in-law. One wrong move, and Boone will end up either offending an associate or marrying a woman he can’t endure.
While closing up a spent mine, Boone gets two surprises. One is a spitfire farm girl who’s trespassing with a pickax, and the other is the amazing crystal cavern that she’s discovered. Suddenly Boone sees a way to overhaul the family business. With part of the cavern on Kentworth land, Boone makes Maisie a proposal that he hopes will solve all of their problems. Instead it throws Joplin into chaos, and it will take all of Maisie’s gumption to set things right.

Summary
Proposing Mischief by Regina Jennings was an enthralling story. Admittedly I wasn’t sure if i was going to like Maisie at first. She seemed a little too untamed but that became her charm. Someone who speaks what they truly mean and deals with a sense of feeling different and belonging.
Boone was a great character and a great match for her. He was too busy to mess with people that were not real and were trying to use him. He was so factual it was funny at times. Like the introduction of the contract.
The cave even because a character of its own. What must it have looked like? And is this how the original finders of the cave felt like. That it was a God made wonder for all to see.
The book had a special meaning to me because of the authors note in the back explaining that she was born in Joplin and the info on the real cave. I live an hour from Joplin.
I highly recommend this book.
