New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh sweeps us back in time
to an age of scandal and glittering society--and brings to life an
extraordinary family: the daring, passionate Huxtables. Katherine, the
youngest sister--and society's most ravishing innocent--is about to turn
the tables on the irresistible rakehell sworn to seduce her, body and
soul....
In a night of drunken revelry, Jasper Finley, Baron Montford, gambles
his reputation as London's most notorious lover on one woman. His
challenge? To seduce the exquisite, virtuous Katherine Huxtable within a
fortnight. But when his best-laid plans go awry, Jasper devises a wager
of his own. For Katherine, already wildly attracted to him, Jasper's
offer is irresistible: to make London's most dangerous rake fall in love
with her. Then Jasper suddenly ups the ante. Katherine knows she should
refuse. But with scandal brewing and her reputation in jeopardy, she
reluctantly agrees to become his wife. Now, as passion ignites, the
seduction really begins. And this time the prize is nothing less than
both their hearts....
