Lord Drake Boscastle is known for his charm and way with the ladies. But he's bored and looking for fun -- something he expects to find that very night with one of the most celebrated courtesans in England. But on that very night, he runs into Eloise Goodwin, a conservative, beautiful governess who won't leave his thoughts, even when he's faced with the beauty awaiting him. In a move totally unlike him, Drake begins a campaign to win Eloise, as his mistress, of course. Because he would never dream of settling down and, besides, he can tell she's very attracted to him.

Eloise wishes Drake Boscastle would go away. It's hard enough keeping up with her charge, who is determined to sneak off and do as she darn well pleases. But oh, he is handsome. And sexy. Almost irresistible. But he just wants a mistress and Eloise is not going to go in that direction. She may be running from a disastrous past, but she's a respectable woman.

I adore the Boscastle family. These wonderful men and women are perfect storybook heroes and heroines. Drake is a great character, as is Eloise (who doesn't stand a chance of resisting Drake...). I love this series and highly recommend it.
