Miss Eliza Cade is a lady in waiting.
And waiting. Because of a foolish mistake in her youth, she's not allowed "out" in Society until her three older sisters are wed. But while she's trying to be good, she keeps bumping elbows—and, more distressingly, lips— with notorious rake Harry Wright.
Every moment she spends with him, she risks complete ruin. Though she resolves to avoid further trouble, the disheveled rogue keeps cornering her in vacant morning rooms and coaxing her into breathless drawing-room waltzes.
Instead of cultivating meek patience, she finds herself drawn into reckless country carriage rides and conspiratorial whispers. He sees straight through her dutiful facade, recognizing the bold, spirited woman who longs to twirl fast and free.
She knows she ought to guard her virtue, yet his wicked green eyes and midnight garden kisses make surrender feel dangerously sweet. The sensual passions he stirs in her are so wrong . . . but Eliza just can't resist Mr. Wright.
