When a debutante with a plan...
Lady Jessica Whitmoreland has always had a clear plan for her debut Season: find a suitable husband and secure her place in Society. Her sights are set on the catch of the Season, the Duke of Thornbury, Aiden Thornton. But when he offends Jessica during their first encounter, she writes him off as rude and arrogant.
Meets a duke with an attitude...
Aiden is a rake who shudders at the thought of settling down. He prides himself on crushing the dreams of hopeful debutantes. But when he realizes he's offended a Whitmoreland, he has no choice but to make amends, and quickly. Only Lady Jessica isn't interested in his apology. She wants nothing more to do with him, leaving Aiden feeling frustrated-and more than a little intrigued.
Sparks are bound to fly.
Aiden can be exceedingly charming and persistent, however, and despite Jessica's initial reluctance to forgive him, they become unlikely friends. But when she resumes her search for the ideal husband, Aiden realizes he's feeling more than friendship for the quick-witted beauty. Her sensuous kisses tell him she feels more too. Passion is never in short supply when they're together, but this is not the perfect courtship Jessica imagined. Can they let go of first impressions for a chance at lasting love?
