Charlotte Labrook, third daughter of the Earl of Anscom, has always been the prim, proper one in her family. Going into her third Season, she's eager to let her hair down â€" or cut it daringly short.
Huxley Egerton, one of the Duke of Farnham's wild brothers, soon finds himself playing reluctant knight to a very incautious lady.
When the plot of a jealous rival threatens Charlotte's reputation, Hux is gentleman enough to do the honorable thing. But she insists she will only marry for love.
What's a roguish lord to do? Abduct the lady, of course, and seduce her into compliance.
But Charlotte is made of sterner stuff.
