Description

An irreverent rogue and a brazen beauty in a sparkling, steamy Regency tale.

Jasper Ashton, the Earl of Marshfield, has enjoyed plenty of time as London's most rakish bachelor, yet he's giving himself one more year before settling down. In fact, he's placing a wager on his ability to stay single.

Too bad for him, clever and impossibly desirable Julia Sudbury shows up in his bedroom. While taking him on a whirlwind trip through the private ballrooms of Mayfair, she appears to be an unrepentant jewel thief!

Incriminated by her bad behavior, with his family fortune outrageously called into question, Jasper goes on the run to escape the brutal gossips shredding his reputation. It's enough to make a cocky rake wish he were safely married! Who will tame whom?

Engaging characters, attention to period detail, and passionate romance with a touch of intrigue — you'll find it all in the stories by USA Today bestselling writer Sydney Jane Baily.
