Scandal's daughter . . .
Madeleine Willits was shunned by London society for a scandal that was
no fault of hers, and forced to seek a paid position in the country. So
when Quinlan Bancroft, Marquis of Warefield, comes to direct the
household during his uncle's illness, Maddie is determined to detest the
nobleman on sight. But though the marquis is easy to dislike, the
man himself is a different matter. Small wonder, then, that Maddie
quite forgets herself when he enfolds her in a sweet embrace . . .
Meets the noble lord . . .
Caught kissing his uncle's lovely young companion, Quinlan feels he
should make amends, and uses his rank to re-establish Miss Willits in
society. Unfortunately, it is soon apparent that Maddie has no idea how
to resist importunate young rakes who deem her ripe for the plucking.
But Maddie knows there is only one rake whose attentions she truly needs
to fear--because only Quinlan Bancroft possesses the power to break her
heart.
