Description

It's love at first sight for Lady Harriet Hamilton - with Thomas Anson's ancestral home. His father, the Earl of Lichfield, has gambled away the family's honor, and it's cost them everything. The estate sale is shameful enough for Thomas without some little brat sneaking around. When they meet again years later, Harry is outspoken, audacious, and now, quite a beauty. But Thomas is committed to restoring the family holdings, not chasing after a wife.

The best thing about this book? Thomas. He was the only reason I was able to finish it and give it 2 stars.
I was totally not impressed with this. Harry the main female, pushes society's rules to cause trouble, not out if any "ideals" like you're supposed to believe. 'lets wear short skirts to the Queen's ball!' and thomas, the male, is a hypocritical jerk. he doesn't like Harry because she's a "rebel" but wants her because of her money.

there were also some rather gratuitous tacky sex scenes, like at the first ball, the debutante who's parents were throwing the ball gives head to Harry's younger brother for the hell of it. really?
