Clea Bradford is a striking creature with her sun-kissed hair and incredibly long legs, but definitely not en vogue. Her Aunt, Lady Floss Dearborn is determined to ensure the girl’s entrance to the ton is greeted with respect. She achieved her purpose, but it is by announcing Clea’s fake engagement to Lord Gledon, a man better suited for her. But lurking behind every corner is Lord Ranulf, a man driven by vengeance. He mistakenly assumes the bohemian is her Aunt and plans to exact his revenge for an unsubstantiated rumor of a wrong committed against his relative, Floss’ deceased husband. Everywhere Clea turns, Ranulf is right behind her. But, his searing hatred is beginning to melt beneath Clea’s piercing gaze. Now, rather than burning with revenge, his heart is scorching with passion.
