**In the night, all rules are forgotten....
**
Eloisa James, the acclaimed author of Potent Pleasures, returns to
Regency England with an unforgettable new heroine -- a genteel but
naughty innocent who gets more than she bargains for when she finally
says yes to love.
To her legions of adoring suitors, it comes as quite a shock when Lady
Sophie York rejects an offer of marriage from the dashing, rakish
Patrick Foakes in favor of amiable but dull Braddon Chatwin. He may be
an earl, but it is Patrick's stolen kisses that sear her lips.
When Patrick, in disguise, scales a ladder to retrieve his friend's
fiancée, he never expects the elopement to be his own. Neither does
Sophie, Braddon, or the rest of the tattling ton. One hasty wedding
later, the passionate innocent and the sophisticated rogue play out
their own intricate dance as Sophie masters what it takes to keep a man
where he belongs. And Patrick learns the ultimate lesson in love.
