About the book
Lucinda Neville had hit upon a famous idea. By proposing marriage to her childhood friend and country neighbour, she would save him from the sponging house and he would save her from the Marriage Mart. — But before the betrothal could be made official, Lucinda agreed to endure one Season in Town, though she was certain it would not make one whit of difference. She had not reckoned on the fatal charms of Beau Devereux or the unexpected flurry of Cupid's arrows that left more than just one lovesick couple in their wake
