Miss Julianne Gatewick is in a pickle. It started when her
brother's best friend-for whom she's long nursed a secret
tender-agreed to act as her guardian for the Season, only to
seduce her with a risqué waltz.

But when the music stopped
and the expectant ton waited for Marc Darcett, Earl of
Hawkfield, to claim her as his own, he made his disinterest
clear. Rather than succumb to humiliation, Julianne does
what any self-respecting, recently discarded young miss with
a wicked sense of humor would do. She secretly pens a lady's
guide to enticing unrepentant rakes . . . and it becomes the
hottest scandal sheet in London.

Every honorable rake knows
that friends' sisters are forbidden. But suddenly Julienne
has a spark of mischief in her eyes that Hawk can't resist.
Try as he might to push her away, he spends his days
listening for her laughter and his nights dreaming of
kissing her senseless. He's always avoided innocents and
their marriage-minded mothers, but has the man least likely
to wed finally met his match?
