Descrip­tions

C'en est trop ! Lady Eleanor en a assez de ses frères qui passent leur temps à lui rabâcher qu'une dame doit bien se tenir pour préserver le sacro-saint honneur familial. Puisque le mariage est inévitable, autant s'amuser un peu avant. Dorénavant, elle agira à sa guise.Très inquiets, ses frères pensent trouver la parade en chargeant leur meilleur ami, le marquis de Deverill, de jouer les chaperons pour éviter à la jeune frondeuse les pires ennuis en société. Mais demander à un libertin notoire de surveiller une débutante, n'est-ce pas faire entrer le loup dans la bergerie ?

Young Ladies Just Want To Have Fun . . .

Unfortunately Eleanor Griffin has three strapping brothers to frighten away any beau they deem unsuitable. She knows she’s expected to marry eventually -- probably to some staid, crusty old lord -- but until that dark day dawns, Nell intends to enjoy herself. However, brother Sebastian, Duke of Melbourne, isn’t about to let his sister run completely wild, and asks his best friend, the Marquis of Deverill, to keep a close eye on the spirited lovely.

Could any chaperone be less qualified -- yet more appreciated -- than Valentine Corbett? Here is a man as sinful as he is attractive, a notorious rake, gambler, and pursuer of women whom Nell has fancied since girlhood. Alas, the irresistible rogue seems uncharacteristically determined to be honorable, despite the passionate longing in his gaze. And Nell must tread carefully, for she has promised to immediately wed whomever her siblings choose should so much as a hint of scandal arise . . .
