Synopsis

"This lively, humorous romp -- Lee's ingenious take on My Fair Lady -- may be her best book yet!"--RT Book Reviews

Brant Wesley Hallowsby is a mercenary for wealthy aristocracy, but he meets his match in Bella "Bluebell" Ballinger, a blue-eyed, blonde-haired beauty, which means she's trouble

As the illegitimate son of a duke, Bramwell Wesley Hallowsby grew up tough, on the fringes of society, learning to hide his hurt and cynicism with charm and Town polish. He's carved out a place for himself as a mercenary, serving as bodyguard and general strong arm for the peerage. Bram has nothing to lose... and he's exactly what Maybelle "Bluebell" Ballenger needs.

Maybelle needs a mentor to teach her to speak and act like a lady, so she can claim the place in society she was denied. As they team up to take on the ton, Bram knows she's hiding something even from him. Despite the deception he sees behind those sparkling blue eyes, Bram wants to believe that Maybelle's love is no lie. But it seems fate has served him up his just desserts in the likes of this determined damsel.
