Eliza Hammond has always been quiet and reserved—hardly
the best qualities for finding the man of her dreams and
living happily ever after. A new heiress, Eliza is
financially secure, courtesy of her aunt’s fortune, but
even great wealth has its drawbacks since every greedy,
fortune-hunting bachelor suddenly finds Eliza
irresistible.
To help her best friend, Violet takes Eliza’s romantic
dilemma into her own hands, enlisting the social skills of
her brother-in-law, Lord Christopher “Kit” Winter. Kit
helps transform Eliza into a stunning belle, certain to
attract a worthy beau. There’s just one problem: Eliza has
always been head over heels in love with Kit, the very man
who is trying to find her a husband! But during Eliza’s
sometimes-comic extreme makeover, and with a few secret
love lessons from Kit on the side, sparks—and passionate
kisses—begin to fly. Kit soon finds himself completely
overcome by an all-consuming desire for Eliza. But if he
waits too long to recognize his love for her, he risks
losing his fair lady forever.
