On the eve of her twentieth birthday, Daisy Ellis couldnβt wait for the clock to strike midnight. At that precise moment, her grumpy guardian ceased to maintain control over her lifeβand good riddance. The stuffy, boring man thwarted all attempts at fun, and chased off a good many prospects for a match! But itβs only after Throsbyβs gone that Daisy discovers all heβd done for herβ¦all heβd sacrificedβ¦over four long years. And those βprospectsβ? More like dishonorable letches more interested in Daisyβs ruin than the modest funds theyβd acquire through marriage.
His guardianship finally at an end, Viscount Max Throsby thought heβd be thrilled to return to his scandalous ways. To his utter surprise, four years of respectability has taught him the value of being needed. No longer content to drink and gamble his days away, Max finds himself missing his high-spirited, challenging ward. And no longer bound by duty, he proves in a moment of passion that heβs not nearly as βboringβ as Daisy always claimed. Soon, theyβre tempting each other in ways that could bring about the womanβs ruinβthe very thing Max sought to protect her from for years.
Max is determined to do right by Daisy at her pace. However, time may not be a luxury. A family tragedy has elevated his station, suddenly making Max the most eligible bachelor on the marriage mart. But he neednβt fear. When Miss Ellis is unleashed, sheβs a woman who gets what she wants.
