Ross Benson is titled, privileged, rich--and careful to ignore eligible young women. Most of all he would avoid young maidens with a preference for books and music than society, no matter how beautiful they might be. Until he makes the mistake of a lifetime and seduces an innocent? She knows better than to surrender to his persuasive charms, but Cassandra Rollins cannot resist temptation when the infamous Viscount Winterton insists on a wickedly pleasurable good night kiss. One thing leads to another and to her chagrin, she finds herself thoroughly compromised. Since she has always harbored a secret passion for Ross, it wouldn't be so bad, but he has absolutely no desire to marry her to satisfy his honor. Can a jaded aristocrat and an unsophisticated bluestocking find common ground to avoid certain scandal, or will one reckless moment ruin both their lives?
