Polite Society doesnt take Lady Anne Adamson seriously. However, Anne isnt just another pretty young miss. When she discovers her father betrayed her mothers love and her family descended into poverty, Anne comes up with a plan to marry a respectable, powerful, and honorable gentleman a man nothing like her philandering father.

Armed with the heart of a duke pendant, fabled to land the wearer a dukes heart, she decides to enlist the aid of the notorious Harry, 6th Earl of Stanhope. A scoundrel with a scandalous past, he is the last gentleman she'd ever wed...however, his reputation marks him the perfect man to school her in the art of seduction so she might ensnare the illustrious Duke of Crawford.

Harry, the Earl of Stanhope is a jaded, cynical rogue who lives for his own pleasures. Having been thrown over by the only woman he ever loved so she could wed a duke, hes not at all surprised when Lady Anne approaches him with her scheme to capture another dukes affection. Hes come to appreciate that all women are in fact greedy, title-grasping, self-indulgent creatures. And with Annes history of grating on his every last nerve, she is the last woman hed ever agree to school in the art of seduction. Only his friendship with the ladys sister compels him to help.

What begins as a pretend courtship, born of lessons on seduction, becomes something more, leaving Anne to decide if she can give her heart to a reckless rogue, and Harry must decide if hes willing to again trust in a ladys love.

Resenhas (5)

4.5 (Muito bom)

Nesses desencontros eles insistem em se encontrar

Nada como um bom romance de época para deixar o coração quentinho. Com esse livro não foi diferente, uma história envolvente com personagens cativantes e uma dose de sensualidade, fazem com que minha avaliação seja quase 5 estrelas. O que fez eu não dá as 5 estrelas completas foram os milhares de desencontros e mal entendidos que aparecem na metade para o final do livro. Foram tantas coisas sem graça e fracas que faziam o casal desistir um do outro que me deixam morta de raiva mas que no final tudo se encaixa.
