A tantalizing new Regency romance filled with the most elegant societyβand the most forbidden desiresβ¦
England, 1811. Delia Somerset despises the privileged ton, but her young sister, Lily, is desperate to escape their familyβs scandalous past and join high society. Unwilling to upset her sister, Delia reluctantly agrees to attend a party at the Sutherland estateβand avoid the gossip at all costs.
Alec Sutherland is known as a hot-headed scoundrel, but nothing gets a rise out of him as much as the news that his brother desires Deliaβs hand in marriage. She is, after all, the daughter of the London belle who soiled their family name. Heβs determined to ruin her reputation as well, in the most delicious way possible. Itβs only a matter of time before he can woo her with his irresistible advances.
As Delia devilishly plays along in Alecβs game, determined to prove the joke is on him, they inch ever closer to repeating history. And in this game of seductive glances, scandalous whispers, and old debts, the outcome might be much more than either of them anticipatedβ¦
