Damien, the Marquis of Reston, is a silver-tongued devil who sends ladies clamoring for his affections. Until now, however, no determined female has ever thrown herself under his carriage to gain his attention. Though the lovely, quick-witted Miss Caroline Smythe seems appalled by his callous insinuations, one lingering kiss soon exposes a passionate heart beating beneath her sensible gown. True, wicked women have kept Damien's heart at bay. Yet, despite his cavalier reputation, it is not Caroline's virtue that he seeks, but her heart. And Caroline can only wonder if the best way to reform a scoundrel...is to fall in love with him.
