The traditional Regency classic from New York Times bestseller Loretta Chase is back…At the advanced age of 26, the independent, wealthy and imminently practical Isabella Latham has no expectation of marriage. But, good-hearted and dutiful, Isabella accompanies her two young country cousins to oversee their London debut...only to find that it's she who is attracting suitors...all of whom do seem to have quite an excess of creditors!There's the sinfully sexy Basil Trevelyan, a rake through and through, but so charming that even sensible Isabella is almost tempted. But then there's his maddeningly handsome—and maddeningly arrogant!—cousin, Edward Trevelyan, seventh Earl of Hartleigh, who has no need of Isabella's dowry; but whose adorable orphaned ward needs a mama. Could he love Isabella for herself? Isabella is too busy trying to decide whether to kiss him—or kill him! Poor, poor Isabella. What's a girl to do? But more importantly...who's a girl to choose?

What I liked most: There were no cheap shots - the way the blackmail plot was resolved was well done. I was afraid when this started to show on the horizon that the read...
I agree with what most people say about this book, you're going to enjoy it if you are Loretta's fan and you're going all the way to the beginning of her career to read her first works. It's not bad, don't get me wrong, it's just a way to something better in the later books. Loretta learned through ...
