**An earl is forced to play matchmaker for the daughters of a rake in a
smart and witty new Regency romance from the national bestselling author
of The Scoundrel's Daughter.
**
Recently returned to England, Leo, the new Earl of Salcott, discovers
he's been thrust into the role of guardian to an heiress, the daughter
of a notorious rake. Even worse, his wealthy ward has brought her
half-sister, the beautiful but penniless Isobel, with her. Leo must find
Clarissa a suitable husband, but her illegitimate half sister, Izzy, is
quite another matter. Her lowly birth makes her quite unacceptable in
London's aristocratic circles.
However, the girls are devoted to each other and despite the risk of
scandal if Izzy's parentage is discovered, they refuse to be separated.
To Leo's frustration, nothing will convince them otherwise. Even worse,
sparks fly every time Leo and Izzy interact.
Called away to his country estate, Leo instructs the young ladies to
stay quietly at home. But when he returns, he's infuriated to discover
that Izzy and Clarissa have launched themselves into society -- with
tremendous success! There's no going back. Now Leo must enter society to
protect Clarissa from fortune hunters, and try not to be driven mad by
the sharp-witted, rebellious, and intoxicating Izzy.
