What happens when a bride ends up with the wrong groom?
In the tradition of New York Times bestseller Betina Krahn comes a sparkling new talent with a witty, passionate tale of a spinster wary of desire--and the charming rogue who's determined to change her tune....
A notorious rake's moment of weakness...
Wolfgang Hardwicke, the Earl of Northcliffe, is up to no good--as usual. So he isn't certain why he rescues the drunken gambler from a fight. And he never expects to be rewarded with a heavenly, all-too-brief glimpse of the gambler's exquisite sister, clad only in her nightgown. Nor does he guess that he'll see her again, lighting up a dull party as she plays piano with a rapturous expression--an expression Wolfgang would like to see in decidedly different circumstances....
An independent beauty's dangerous liaison...
Unlike her admirer, Miss Grizelda Fleetwood is an unabashed do-gooder, one who has as soft a heart for her ne'er-do-well brother as for the unfortunates she helps. Though Zel has no interest in matrimony, she's determined to marry to save her family from financial ruin. That is, if she can find a suitable match before the unprincipled and relentless Earl of Northcliffe ruins her reputation...or steals her defenseless heart.
