Description

Lady Georgiana vows to teach Viscount Dare a lesson in heartbreak—only to find that revenge against a charming rake never goes to plan.

A Regency romp about a young lady who vows revenge on the rakish lord who loved and left her, only to find herself unexpectedly caught in Cupid′s net along with the handsome viscount when her plan to love and leave him backfires.

Suzanne Enoch follows the headstrong heiress into her adversary’s Mayfair household, watching each calculated lesson in propriety collapse into scandalous mutual temptation. London ballrooms provide the battleground where broken fans and stolen waltzes test the viscount’s legendary composure.

The novel pits six years of bitter grievances against an undeniable attraction, leaving both combatants thoroughly outmaneuvered by their own rekindled desire.

    What a wonderful romantic story Enoch has written. The two main characters, Tristan and Georgiana, are written with depth that you care so much for their trials and deep feelings. The plot is after all a love story, yet there are many twists that keep you guessing what will happen next. A truly beautiful love story. If you are a romantic as I am, you will surely want to read this story. Sometimes subplots about murder etc. can detract from a beautiful simplistic love story. And this is one to read!
