Lord Verwood is an unapologetic connoisseur of the fairer sex. With his smoldering good looks and disreputable past, he is the talk of the Brighton summer Season — but not for Miss Penelope Talcott. The demure and virtuous young woman wishes only for a devoted husband, a country parsonage, and a family to care for. The last thing she desires is a rake like Lord Verwood.
Then, in a chance encounter, Penelope saves Verwood's life — and changes hers forever. By rescuing Verwood, Penelope precipitates her own social downfall... unless they wed. For Verwood, marriage offers the opportunity for an heir. For Penelope, it is a chance to escape scandal. Yet unbeknownst to the mismatched couple, unbridled and powerful passion lies dormant, waiting to consume them both...
