A horse race in trousers on Rotten Row. Visiting a gaming hall in a dress that would make her mother faint. Sneaking an invitation to a masquerade ball attended by only the wickedest, most debauched members of societyβ¦
The only thing left is to entice childhood friend Nicholas Wakefield into a truly engagement-ending scandal. The Wakefields are the height of propriety, and Nicholasβs parents have made it clear a wife from the neighboring Bishop family would be unacceptableβ¦
But Nicholas would give up his family and his fortune if Amelia would ever see him as more than just a childhood friend. Heβll go along with her scheme, even if it means ruining them both, because heβs got a plan that will change her mind about him being merely the boy next door.
