The illegitimate daughter of a prince and a notorious
courtesan, Lucia has been confined to schools and convents
for most of her life. But that hasn't stopped her from
causing one scandal after another. Exasperated, her royal
father decides that his exquisite hellion of a daughter
must be married immediately. And Sir Ian Moore, Britain's
most proper diplomat, is the perfect man to choose her a
groom.
Diplomacy, not matchmaker, is Ian's forte, but he vows to
get Lucia married off as soon as possible so that he may
return to his real duties. Yet, despite an abundance of
very eager, worthwhile candidates, none is a match for
Lucia's spirit and fire. And the more time Ian spends with
the infuriating beauty, the more reluctant he is to marry
her off. Could it be that he has already found Lucia the
perfect husband...and it is Ian himself?
