In the fifth novel of the captivating Rhymes With Love series from New
York Times bestselling author ELIZABETH BOYLE, a young woman's hopes of
a match encounter a wickedly handsome complication . . .
Lavinia Tempest has been eagerly anticipating a spectacular season. But
one disastrous pile-up on the Almack's dance floor derails all her
plans. Add to that, the very stunning revelations about her mother's
scandalous past have become the ton's latest on dits. Lavinia's future
has gone from shining bright to blackest night in one misstep.
Alaster "Tuck" Rowland admits he's partly to blame for Lavinia's
disastrous debut. But it's not guilt that compels him to restore her
reputation. Rather, he's placed a wager that he can make Lavinia into
one of the most sought-after ladies in London. Who better than an
unrepentant rake to set society astir?
Tuck's motives are hardly noble. But in teaching the lovely Lavinia how
to win any man she wants, he suddenly finds himself tangled in the last
place he ever imagined: in love.
