New York Times–Bestselling Author: A society matchmaker is put to the test . . . “Camp delivers another beautifully written charmer.” —Publishers Weekly No longer in the first blush of youth and without a marriage portion, Miss Constance Woodley can scarcely imagine why one of the leading lights of London society should take an interest in the likes of her. But under her benefactor’s guiding hand, she’s transformed into a captivating creature who catches the eye of the handsome, charming, and ever-so-slightly notorious Lord Dominic Leighton. And before the shocked eyes of the entire ton, the “nobody” and the rakish viscount show that even in the heartless world of the marriage mart, when love is at stake, all bets are off . . . “[A] delightful, Regency-era variation on the Cinderella theme.” —Booklist

Francesca is certain any spark of passion between them has long since died. But soon Francesca finds his lessons in love scandalously irresistible—and a temptation that could endanger them both.
