About this eBook

Miss Jane Fairfield has made a career of social disaster. She wears outrageous gowns and says even more outrageous things. The only reason she's invited anywhere is because of her immense dowry--which is all part of her plan to avoid marriage and keep the fortune-hunters at bay.

Mr. Oliver Marshall is the illegitimate son of a duke. His acceptance in society is tenuous as it is. If he wants any kind of career at all, he must do everything right. He doesn't need to come to the rescue of the wrong woman. He certainly doesn't need to fall in love with her. But there's something about the lovely, courageous Jane that he can't resist...even though it could mean the ruin of them both.

Ratings and reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I did the previous one. I wasn't distracted by mistakes and inaccuracies. That is always a pleasure. It held my interest right the way through. The characters were believable and interesting. I look forward to reading more. A few moments of escapism. Lovely.

I laughed through most of this book. The humor in it is just fantastic. It's a beautifully and well crafted book. This book had me hanging on the edge of my seat all the way to the end. The only complaint I have is that it ended. I wish I could have read on forever.

The monumental turning point of the story would be when Aunt Freddy died.. I wept for her T.T
