Descrip­tions

Beau, brun, ténébreux, lord Ashton Graham plaît aux femmes et mène une vie de patachon, au grand dam de son illustre famille. Pourtant, ses vieilles tantes décident de se servir sans vergogne de son pouvoir de séduction en lui confiant une mission de la plus haute importance : charmer une héritière américaine qui convoite son frère, le duc de Meridian, un doux rêveur dont la dangereuse arriviste ne fera qu'une bouchée si Ashton n'y met pas le holà. Le jeune homme relève le défi d'autant plus volontiers que Daisy Bumgarten est une vraie beauté à l'effronterie divertissante. Mais à vouloir jouer au plus fin, ne risque-t-il pas de tomber dans son propre piège ?

Daisy Bumgarten isn't thrilled to be trying to catch a duke's attention while dressed like a flower pot caught in a swarm of butterflies. But, after all, when in Rome (or in this case London society)... Since her decidedly disastrous debut among New York's privileged set, the sassy Nevada spitfire's last chance to "marry well" lies across the pond, here in England. If she must restrain her free spirit, not to mention her rib cage, so be it. She knows she owes it to her three younger sisters to succeed.

Now, under a countess's tutelage, Daisy appears the perfect duchess-in-training...Until notorious ladies' man Lord Ashton Graham, a distraction of the most dangerous kind, glimpses her mischievous smile and feisty nature—and attempts to unmask her motives. Daisy has encountered snakes on the range, but one dressed to the nines in an English drawing room is positively unnerving—and maddeningly seductive. When a veiled plot emerges to show up Daisy as unworthy of the aristocracy, will Ashton be her worst detractor? Or the nobleman she needs most of all?
