Justin Maddox, the newly–anointed Duke Of Colster, is not adjusting to London life well. He much prefers the life he was leading in the Scottish Highlands to the glittering,but fake, world of London's high society. The one bright spot is the mysterious Francesca, whose kiss he can't get out of his mind. Of course, even that takes an unexpected turn when the tempting Francesca turns out to be the very proper Miss Dunroy.

Francesca Dunroy doesn't know what she was thinking. Kissing a strange man during her coming out ball was not a wise decision. And it's made even worse when she realizes that it was no other than a duke! Francesca is desperate to protect her reputation, which is suddenly being attacked from all sides. But maybe the one man who is the biggest threat will also be her salvation.
