One wicked kiss leads to a dangerous attraction…
Alexandra Dunforth, firmly on the shelf spinster and budding bluestocking is in London against her wishes. Forced to attend Lady Dobson's ball she observes the swirl of the ton while avoiding her odious guardian who expects her to marry a man of his choosing.
She certainly doesn't expect the biggest rake in the ton to set her on fire. Literally.
Lord Sutton Reynolds, the Marquess of Cambourne is bored to tears. Bad enough that the ton refers to him as "Satan" Reynolds behind his back and he is the subject of gossip, but every woman of marriageable age is throwing herself at him in an attempt to be ruined.
He's used to women falling at his feet, but never one he's unintentionally set aflame.
One wicked kiss...
A beautiful marquess with a ridiculous nickname is a distraction Alexandra doesn't need, she's too busy trying to outsmart her guardian and his plans for her.
Sutton has decided Miss Dunforth doesn't bore him, unfortunately, Miss Dunforth is another man's fiance. A man Sutton detests.
The betrothal will have to be broken.
And that requires ruination - and a scandal of epic proportions.
