Lady Glory Brightley was dreading her sisterโs house partyโuntil she discovers an early guest mired in a bog. She pulls the Earl of Keswick freeโand then goes to great lengths to hide her limp from him. Is it too much to ask, just once, to be seen and treated as everyone else?
Keswick has come to Gloucestershire to hideโfrom an overzealous debutante, from his father, perhaps even from himself. He bonds with Lady Glory as a fellow misfitโher limp is nothing compared to the wounds he hides. They pledge to see each other through the choppy waters of the party, but he never expected to be caught up by this sprite of a girlโwith her quick wit, stunningly fine seat on a horse and giving heart.
Not that he could ever pursue such inclinations. For no true lady could want a man with his reputation and entanglements. Who could love a man who is nothing but a rakehell?
Heโs about to find out.
