Polite society has its rules for marriage. But for Ella Quinn's eligible bachelors, their brides will show them that rules are for the weak of heart . . . Phoebe Stanhope is not a typical Lady. As feisty as she is quick witted, no one can catch her, especially when she is driving her dashing phaeton with its perfectly matched horses. And unlike her peers, experience has guarded her against a growing list of would-be suitors. But when she encounters Marcus Finley, what she fears most burns deep within in his blue-eyed gaze . . . For Lord Marcus, the spark of recognition is but a moment in the love he has held these many years. Now that he's returned to England, all the happiness he desires rests on Lady Phoebe never finding out that he was the one who turned her heart so cold and distant. He must work fast to gain the advantage-to convince her what she wants is exactly what she denies-but in order to seduce her into his arms, he must be willing to give up more than he can control . . . "Lady Phoebe is a heroine Georgette Heyer would adore-plucky, pretty, and well worth the devotion of the dashing Lord Marcus. A marvelous find for Regency romance readers" -Grace Burrowes, New York Times bestselling author "A passionate tale full of humor, romance, and poignancy. Quinn writes classic Regency romance at its best" -Shana Galen, author of If You Give a Rake a Ruby
