From the sparkling ballrooms of Regency London to the wealthy glamour of the country house – let Stephanie Laurens be your guide! Miss Georgiana Hartley, orphaned and alone, returned home to England – only to be confronted with the boorish advances of her cousin. Knowing no-one, she fled to Lord Alton’s estate, hoping that the lady of the house would rescue her – but Dominic, Lord Alton, was unmarried! Georgiana could not, with propriety, remain under his roof. She begged him to help her find a suitable position as a lady’s companion, or a governess. The scandalous viscount heard Georgiana’s request with barely-concealed disgust. The very idea was preposterous. Instead, he introduced Georgiana to his sister’s influence. Suddenly, Georgiana was transformed into a lady, charming the ton and cultivating a bevy of suitors. Everything was going to Dominic’s plan – until he realised that he wanted Georgiana for his own.
