SHE WAS A PRIZE WAITING TO BE WON...HE WAS A MAN WHO MEANT TO WIN
Miss Ginny Makepeace was not the type of young lady who often entertained thoughts of romance - smart and sensible was the only way to be. Yet all thoughts of propriety were abandoned after she the acquaintance of the Viscount Redmon - he was the most perfect man she had ever seen! But thoughts of the dashing lord were quickly banished when Ginny found herself in a most worrisome dilemma: her father had gambled her virute in a card game - and lost!
Robert St.George, the Viscount Redmon, always tried to be a gentleman. Never would have countered the Earl of Wraxton's shocking demand that he marry Ginny with an offer of making her his mistress if he had known the demure beauty was the disreputable earl's only daughter. Once the truth was revealed, Robert was not against the idea of marriage to Ginny - there was no denying the girl drew his attention like a magnet - but the irrepressible Miss Makepeace would not allow him to do the honorable thing. Vexed by her stubborn insistence to maintain her independence, Robert brought the prim vixen back with him to London as his ward, determined to win her heart with his persuasive charms!
