  <default_description>Since the loss of her parents, Meredith Burnley has contented herself with a solitary life looking after her half-sister, Annabel. But Meredith's peace is shattered when her uncle schemes to marry her off to his son in order to gain her inheritance. Desperate, Meredith has only one choice: to flee with Annable to their estranged grandparents' home. But their arrival soon reignites a family scandal - and kindles unexpected romance...Happily reunited with the girls, Annabel's grandmother resolves to convince her nephew, Stephen Mallory, the Marquess of Silverton, to abandon his rakish lifestyle and wed Annabel. Stephen is clearly captivated - but with the wrong sister! Determined to make Meredith his own, Stephen embarks on a seduction that will leave her with no choice but to surrender to his touch... </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Wow! What a great book. Vanessa Kelly is definitely one to watch. Her prose is wonderfully evocative. This is a character-driven Regency romance of the old-school, but with a sexier feel. Loved it!]]></body>

It was a fairly quick read, the plot was easy to follow, the characters were entertaining, and what sex there was, was pretty hot.
