Book Description:
She thought her heart was safe, but…...
Reckless, wild, and beautiful, Lily Lawson delights in shocking proper London society -- and now she is determined to rescue her sister from an unwanted impending marriage to the notorious Alex, Lord Raiford, by fair means or foul. But while she succeeds outrageously, Alex is a master gamesman who is not to be undone.
Alex has lost one bride, yet he is enchanted by this remarkable lady who is willing to break any rule to flaunt her independence. When Lily offers him only scorn, he counters with kindness, and he parries her blistering barbs with gentle words and a soft, tender touch. The spirited miss will pay dearly for her interference -- with her body, her soul, and her stubborn, unyielding heart. But will Alex's own heart be the prize to be won in this sensuous game of love?

This book was so engrossing, I read it in one day. Lily does out-raggeous things to forget the daughter stolen from her. She attempts to save her sister from marriage to someone she thinks is not suitable for her sister, only to become entangled with him herself. Great read.

This is the first book I've read by Lisa Kleypas, but it definitely won't be my last. It's a wonderful book with great characters. I hope she has written more like this one.

I have never read a bad Lisa Kleypas book. They are all fantastic, if you like historical fiction I would highly recommend her. Lawless Lily, Derek Craven and Lord Alec Raiford are characters you won't soon forget, and the good news is you don't have to because Derek has his own story. So get them all and enjoy :)
Oh my, I loved this book. I had picked up this book directly after reading a book that the main charecter was raped "5" times. I was disgusted by the womans complete inability to control her own fate. This story was the antithesis to the previous book. The heroine was strong, unique, and someone who one could look to for inspiration. The first time reading a historical romance I have found a heroine I could truelly respect.
REBECCA D. (I absolutely love this book! I enjoy reading anything from Lisa Kleypas and this just confirmed to me what a great romance author she is.
My copy is not as pictured -- it's the original paperback, not the reissue edition. Spine is cracked (I bought it at Goodwill), but it's very readable.
