Beautiful and innocent Regina Berryman finds herself in sombre circumstances when two rakes of the realm vie for her affections. The Duke of Torquay is very scandalous and will sink to low levels to get his way. The Marquis of Bessacarr, rumored to be the Duke's successor as the most scandalous rake, is acting as her protector, but also has nefarious plans in mind. With two such men plotting against her, can the lovely Regina hold on to her virtue?

This book was ok. I found it somewhat unbelievable and disturbing at what lengths the Duke would sink to in order to make her dependent upon him.
