Though Reginald Mason, Senior, wishes to use Annabelle to propel his family up the social ladder, his son does not wish to marry her, preferring instead to live the wild, single life he is accustomed to. Besmirched by shame, the earl is only too happy to marry Annabelle off to anyone willing to have her. Daughter of the Earl of Havercroft, a neighbor and enemy of the Mason family, Annabelle finds herself disgraced by a scandal, one that has left her brandished as damaged goods.
That is, until an opportunity for social advancement arises, namely, Lady Annabelle Ashton. However, he is not a gentleman by title, a factor that pains him and his father within the Regency society that upholds station over all else. Reginald Mason is wealthy, refined, and, by all accounts, a gentleman. Just in time for Valentine's Day, from New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh comes yet another classic historical tale that sizzles with romance and unforgettable drama.
