A woman who won’t be ruined
London, 1792. Henrietta Wardley-Hines, bluestocking, plans to use her father’s new knighthood to wrangle her way into the Minerva Society, a group of powerful women committed to social reform. That means she must steer clear of rakes like the man they call Lord Daring, famous for ruining innocents.
A man who refuses to repent
Henrietta needs polish to be a force in higher circles, and Lord Darien Bales has that in spades. He also requires her help—or that of her powerful relations—in blocking a legal suit to take away his brother’s inheritance. But Darien warns his enterprising new accomplice not to meddle in his latest scandal, the one with the duke’s daughter; he’s not in search of reform.
