Book #7

Start with Lady Derring Takes a Lover. A London season is the chance of a lifetime for Catherine Keating. But the ton's cruelty threaten to crush her hopes of finding a husband before her season even begins. Until she accidentally acquires one of the most scandalous men in England as a secret chaperone. Lord Dominic Kirke can hold the House of Commons and any woman in thrall. But when his house goes up in flames he finds himself at the Grand Palace on the Thames. And there he discovers his cynical armor is no match for another guest: a country girl with a crackling wit. He's maddening, charismatic, wrong in every way-perfectly designed to break her heart and doesn't know she holds his battered heart in her hands. And though it will destroy him, Dominic knows loving her means setting her free for the life she deserves.
