Book 1 in the Acclaimed Harrow's Finest Five Series

Daniel Hallsworth, the exiled Marquess of Edensbridge, was driven out of England by claims of his illegitimacy. Now he’s returned to reclaim his family’s reputation, which requires marrying a virtuous lady. He has his sights set on the woman he once loved. If only the lady would graciously accept his proposal.

Emme Radcliffe made a mistake that could destroy her family. To hide it, she’s withdrawn from society and dedicated herself to spinsterhood. Now the man she’s loved for ages has returned with an offer of marriage, but accepting it could expose her dangerous secret. If only the gentleman would kindly stop tempting her.

A respectable match between them is impossible. But each moment together brings Daniel and Emme to the brink of passion, and every stolen kiss leads them one step closer to ruin.
