In a stifling world of social etiquette, Charlotte has one glaring fault – a mind of her own. She refuses to be sold off in marriage as her family insists, for no man has ever captured her attention! Not, that is, until she encounters the wildly attractive Earl of Mawdsley. One glance from his brilliant blue eyes gets her pulse racing and her body tingling with shock.

How far is Charlotte prepared to go to satisfy her own desires? Because by flirting with the earl, it's soon clear she’s also flirting with social ruin.
