Max Fenton, Earl of Burnham needs someone to attend a house party with him to keep an eye on his wilful, romantically-inclined stepsister. Though he must have taken leave of his senses when he persuades his sister’s prickly piano teacher Miss Lucy Lambert into the job! Especially when they are inadvertently compromised together...and his only option is a much more permanent proposal! Rumours What does it matter if society spurns me? Following a disastrous incident at a house party, Lady Isobel Jervis is exiled to the country to avoid further scandal. At the imposing Wimpole Hall, she meets architect Giles Harker. He is as eye-catching as the elegant house, but shockingly arrogant — and infuriatingly dismissive. Despite himself, Giles is strangely drawn to the haughty Isobel, and stuns her with a secret kiss in the gardens. As the illegitimate son of an infamous scarlet woman, he knows love can be dangerous. Their growing attraction could come at the cost of both their reputations.
