A familiar tale delivered with a delft voice, sure to satisfy a romantic craving...
Unfortunately Eleanor Griffin has three strapping brothers
to frighten away any beau they deem unsuitable. She knows
she’s expected to marry eventually -- probably to some
staid, crusty old lord -- but until that dark day dawns,
Nell intends to enjoy herself. However, brother Sebastian,
Duke of Melbourne, isn't about to let his sister run
completely wild, and asks his best friend, the Marquis of
Deverill, to keep a close eye on the spirited lovely. Could any chaperone be less qualified -- yet more
appreciated -- than Valentine Corbett? Here is a man as
sinful as he is attractive, a notorious rake, gambler,and
pursuer of women whom Nell has fancied since girlhood.
Alas, the irresistible rogue seems uncharacteristically
determined to be honorable, despite the passionate longing
in his gaze. And Nell must tread carefully, for she has
promised to immediately wed whomever her siblings choose
should so much as a hint of scandal arise . . .
