Synopsis

After the death of her father, Georgiana Hartley returns home to England - only to be confronted with the boorish advances of her cousin. Knowing no one, she flees to Dominic Ridgely's state, hoping the nobleman will bestow a neighborly kindness upon her.

The viscount hears Georgiana's plea to find her a position as a lady's companion with barely concealed ill humor. A lovely innocent such as Miss Hartley subjected to that wretched existence? The very idea is preposterous. Instead, he takes matters into his own hands, introducing her to his sister's influence.

Suddenly Georgiana is transformed into a lady, charming the town and cultivating a bevy of suitors. Everything is unfolding according to Dominic's plan . . . until he realizes that he desires Georgiana for his own.

About this title

Review:

"With its lively banter, clever wit, and exquisitely depicted Regency setting, this classic charmer is a breath of fresh air" on The Reasons for Marriage--Library Journal

"An amusing battle of wits between a deliciously alpha hero and a strongly opinionated heroine, and danger--that have made her subsequent novels so very popular" on Tangled Reins--Booklist

"The consistently readable Laurens takes a classic Regency plot the rake who must marry and the spinster who doesn't believe in love and gives it her own stylish twist with plenty of sizzling passion and a surfeit of wit" on The Reasons for Marriage--Booklist

"Laurens' romance, glimmers with sweet sexiness and effervescent charm."--Booklist

"Laurens rewards readers with not just one but four delightfully entertaining romances played out amid a perfectly crafted London social setting worthy of Georgette Heyer herself" on Four in Hand--Booklist
