After orchestrating a scandalous high-society ruse, Lady Jeannette Brantford is banished from her familyβs estate in England and sent to live with boring elderly cousins in the Irish countryside. But Jeannetteβs exile is surprisingly eventful. En route to her dreaded destination, she encounters Darragh OβBrien, a devilishly handsome architect who transforms Jeannetteβs punishment into a delicious whirlwind of wits, words, and undeniable passion.
Although no less than a duke could satisfy a lady of her status, Jeannette is unable to extinguish the burning desire she has for Darraghβs smoldering looks and sizzling kisses. Little does she know, her dashing Irishman is no commoner. Heβs the eleventh Earl of Mullhollandβand heβs thoroughly enjoying the irresistible game of hard-to-get. But before he reveals his true identity, a little temptation and trickery are in order to teach his fair lady a lesson or two about love.
