Don't bother with this book. The author created interesting characters and visited all the typical Regency locations (Vauxhall Gardens, Almack's, Hyde Park) but there is so much malicious gossip masquerading as plot that I found myself skipping forward a lot until one scene or another was over.

She told herself the decision was made with her head, not her heart, and had nothing to do with the way this notorious rake made her feel - or the look in his eyes that promised such heady delights....
