One of the most delightful regency romances ever. Venetia Lanyon had been forced by her stern father to live a dull and secluded life in the country with only her brother for company. Her neighbor was Lord Damerel - a notorious gambler, a shocking rake, a man with whom no girl's virtue was safe. When he unexpectedly returned home after a long absence, he caught Venetia trespassing, and immediately found her to be the most fascinating and wittily perverse woman he had ever encountered. Venetia found him rude, arrogant, frightening ... but exciting beyond words.
