"Riveting, sensual, and intelligent . . . romance readers need this
splendid book!" --USA Today bestselling author Vanessa Kelly
A mean girl reformed . . .
Once the reigning beauty of her social set, Celia--whom the newspapers
dubbed Lady Infamous--has fallen on hard times and is practically
destitute, her reputation in shreds. When Celia is forced to attend a
society wedding as a companion to an elderly guest, she must confront
the clique she once commanded; the gentleman she'd once hoped to
marry--who is now wed to a girl Celia relentlessly taunted; and the
powerful man who ruined her life a decade before--and is threatening to
do so again. . . .
A hero transformed . . .
Then there is Richard, the studious boy Celia used to ridicule, who is
now gorgeous, wealthy, and more-than-a-little famous. As a youth,
Richard was infatuated with Celia. He still seems intrigued, but Celia
has acquired a shocking secret along with her hard-won humility. Will it
put an end to the love blossoming between them? Does she have the
courage to find out?
