Lady Emmeline Prescott is shocked when Sir Alexander Thornton, the most incorrigible scoundrel in England, suddenly notices she even exists—and starts flirting with her. Not that she'll be taken in by his charms.



To win a wager, Alex must win a kiss from an innocent maiden. But first he must get past the giggly young lady's chaperone—her older sister, Lady Emmeline. And to his surprise, it is the enchanting, levelheaded Emmeline who intoxicates him with her soft sensuality.
