Julia V. (gardenlady5562) reviewed on 12/28/2005 + 183 more book reviews

Louisa Beckenham had never been so humiliated in all her twenty-five years. Her brother could only marry beautiful, cold as ice Gwendolyn Fortescue on one condition; Louisa must be wedded and gone from Marleybourne Court. After all, a house could not have two mistresses. But now, with a pompous vicar, a fish faced fop and an aging libertine as her only prospects, Louisa was well and truly at her wits end. Enter rakish gamester James Morrison, just in time to rescue Louisa from an overturned coach and a disastrous match. A scandalously seductive scoundrel, Morrison sent Louisa flowers bound by a silk stocking and showering her with kisses that proper London society would deem most improper. But Louisa had made her choice. Wed her irresistible suitor she would, even if she must propose to him herself.
