The way society tells the story, Lady Jane Welsham was
humiliated when Sir Nigel Boscastle left her standing at
the altar. But Jane knows the truth -- she couldn't imagine
a life with Nigel and she's relieved the wedding is called
off.
Unfortunately, Nigel's cousin, Grayson Boscastle, the
Marquess of Sedgecroft, picks the ruined wedding as one of
the first times in his life to start being respectable. To
salvage Jane's pride and restore his family name, Grayson
escorts her around London. All the while, he and other
family members are looking for Nigel to make him come back
and do right by Jane. Which is the last thing on Jane's
mind. She helped Nigel sabotage the wedding and doesn't
want him found. Especially not when she's starting to see
what was missing in the relationship with Nigel -- with none
other than his cousin, Grayson!
Ms. Hunter has the gift of creating truly likeable
characters, and Jane and Grayson certainly fit that
category. I really liked Jane, who had the guts to
challenge convention in a creative way. This book is primed
with witty dialogue and good old-fashioned sexual
tension.
It would have been the wedding of the year–had the groom,
Sir Nigel Boscastle, bothered to put in an appearance. To
the shock of her distinguished guests, the respectable Lady
Jane Welsham is left humiliated at the altar. Yet truth be
told, although outwardly ruined she is elated to have
escaped marriage to a man she does not love.
Enter Grayson Boscastle, the irresistible Marquess of
Sedgecroft (and cousin to Nigel). Grayson’s duty is clear:
salvage the young lady’s pride and reestablish the family’s
good name, while repairing his own tarnished reputation as
one of London’s most notorious scoundrels. Their whirlwind
affair is the talk of the ton. Yet nothing is as it seems
between the bewitching Lady Jane, who knows that her wedding
was cleverly sabotaged, and her charming rogue, as they are
drawn into an amusing game of seduction and secrets.
