Lady Grace Carpenterovou na cestě z návštěvy starší příbuzné zastihla tak prudká bouřka, že se raději na noc uchýlila do hostince. Doma na ni čekají mladší sourozenci, které po smrti rodičů vychovává. Hodně sourozenců. Slíbila matce, že nedopustí, aby děti byly rozděleny mezi příbuzné, a už se smířila s tím, že se kvůli nim asi nikdy nevdá. Pak se najednou v hostinci objeví Matt, hrabě z Worthingtonu, do kterého je tak trochu zamilovaná už od svého vstupu do společnosti. Vůbec ji po letech nepozná a Grace se rozhodne, že pokud má zůstat do smrti sama, nebude alespoň stará panna.

Po večeru s neznámou, stráveném zajímavým rozhovorem, po němž následovala vášnivá noc, naprosto ztratí hlavu. Když navíc mladá žena do rána beze stopy zmizí, rozhodne se, že ji za každou cenu najde a ožení se s ní. To ještě netuší, jaké překážky na něj čekají.

Within the Worthingtons' extended family circle, laughter and romance rule, and a young lady never settles for less than true love in this fifth installment from "USA Today"-bestselling author Quinn. Original.

Ella Quinn's bachelors are quite sure of what they want in life and love until the right woman opens their eyes After a painful heartbreak, Rupert, the handsome young Earl of Stanstead, has decided that when it comes to love, avoidance is best. Until he meets a woman who makes him forget his plan and remember his longing for a wife and family. Yet he senses that she too has been hurt, though she attempts to hide her feelings. Intrigued, Rupert is willing to play along, if winning her is the prize. Crushed by her late husband's scorn, Vivian, Countess of Beresford, believes she is monstrously undesirable. Sadly childless, she has moved to London resigned to a solitary life. Still, when she encounters Rupert at a masquerade ball, her disguise as Cleopatra emboldens her. Convinced he doesn't recognize her, she begins an after-hours affair with him, always in costume while allowing him to innocently court the real her by day.

Polite society has its rules for marriage. But for Ella Quinn’s eligible bachelors, their brides will show them that rules are for the faint of heart . . . Phoebe Stanhope is not a typical Lady. As feisty as she is quick witted, no one can catch her, especially when she is driving her dashing phaeton with its perfectly matched horses. And unlike her peers, experience has guarded her against a growing list of would-be suitors. But when she encounters Marcus Finley, what she fears most burns deep within his blue-eyed gaze . . . For Lord Marcus, the spark of recognition is but a moment in the love he has held these many years. Now that he’s returned to England, all the happiness he desires rests on Lady Phoebe never finding out that he was the one who turned her heart so cold and distant. He must work fast to gain the advantage—to convince her what she wants is exactly what she denies—but in order to seduce her into his arms, he must be willing to give up more than he can control . . . “Lady Phoebe is a heroine Georgette Heyer would adore—plucky, pretty, and well worth the devotion of the dashing Lord Marcus. A marvelous find for Regency romance readers.” —Grace Burrowes, New York Times bestselling author
