Frances Brice
has always been overshadowed by her sisters, so she's kept her nose in her books. But when her mother dies, her life is thrown into disarray. Taken in by her cousins, she must prepare for her first London Season by learning all the rules of propriety.
Viscount Wesley Ecclestone's
character is tarnished by scandal. Having ruined a lady in London, he's run away to Northumberland to join his friends' hunting party. There, he's drawn to Frances, someone he should stay away from.
But Wesley can't resist offering Frances his friendship and with his help she attracts the attention of a suitor. Although this had been Wesley's intention, it doesn't stop him from wanting her for himself, and even though Frances is finally being accepted in Society, she can't help but be tempted by a little scandal.
