#1 New York Times–bestselling author: 'Nobody does Victorian romance hijinks like Alexander . . . Fabulously snappy banter, and a soupçon of sex.' —Publishers Weekly



Delilah, the very proper widowed Lady Hargate, and Mr. Samuel Russell, previously acquainted during one unforgettable night in New York City when caution—and clothing—were thrown to the wind, will choose to pretend they have never met before when they wind up at the same wedding months later in England.



The lady plans to avoid love and its complications at all costs. The gentleman intends to change her mind.



Guests are invited to enjoy the many diversions of Millworth Manor as Delilah's sister and Samuel's friend are joined in matrimony—delightful grounds, lavish drawing rooms, secluded corners—and for Delilah and Samuel, the chance to discover that one night may have been only the beginning . . .



Contains mature themes.
