Our take on the Mischief

Mischief is a 1997 paperback romance by Amanda Quick, the pen name Amanda Quick uses for her Regency-era historical romances with a light suspense thread. It sits in her late-1990s Bantam run, alongside titles like Rendezvous and Affair, and is a standalone rather than part of a series. The best new price is $7.99 at Target as of November 7, 2026, with three stores listing it new.
