When Miss Perdita Grant came to the aid of an injured duke in the elegant resort of Bath, she little suspected the danger she was courting. For the duke was a gentleman whose conquests were as legion as his charm was legendary.

If this peril were not great enough, the duke's son, Lord St. Ive, had a record as a rake that matched that of his father. And when the devastatingly handsome St. Ive decided that Perdita planned to ensnare the duke with her youthful beauty, he set out to stop her by every measure of strength and stratagem of seduction at his considerable command.
