CUPID'S DART SEEMS TO HAVE TERRIBLE AIM. . . . After her ignominious Little Season and her subsequent banishment to the country, Lady Grace Granville (also known as Disgrace) lands in dire straits once again. Cursing his luck, Rafael Marlowe comes to her rescue, putting down his brandy long enough to whisk her out of danger. With her devilish mind and angel's countenance, the chit has been trouble since they were children. But now Rafe has more important things to do--drinking himself to death, for example--than protect Grace from her family's wrath. But, God save them all, Grace has decided to save Rafe . . . from himself! And if Cupid will cooperate, perhaps Rafe may come to love her as she has always loved him. . . .

When Grace runs away from her banishment, she runs into Rafe-the man of her dreams. Unfortunately Rafe is still bitter about his parents' death, and is drinking himself into a stupor daily. So, Grace decides to 'save' him. And she succeeds in getting him to her brother's Christmas celebration.
Everything is fine until two thing happen: Rafe kisses her, and his Aunt spills the beans about them having been *alone* together for several days.
Will Rafe decide to marry her? Will Grace's father and brothers kill Rafe?
These questions are answered splendidly.
