Description
Five years ago, Sorin fled England's shores to avoid heartbreak and scandal in the form of one Lady Eleanor Salton, his best friend's cousin and ward. Now that he has returned to take up his duties as the Earl of Wincanton, he is dismayed to find his feelings for Ellie unchanged. If anything, his predicament is worse than ever. The impudent hoyden has transformed into a stunning young woman. He has no choice but to resist temptation or the truth will shatter her perception of him and forever earn the distrust of those he holds most dear. Lady Eleanor, content with life and bent on keeping things just as they are, is overjoyed when her old friend returns. Resolved to confirm Sorin's high expectations of her, she is determined to be the perfect lady-that is, until her friend Caroline sets her cap for him. Now the man who once scolded her for impropriety is suddenly seen in a whole new light. How can she make him see her as worthy of not just his good opinion, but of his heart and his desire? When the truth comes out, it'll be the scandal of the season.
