Lady Callandra can't understand why her brother Sinclair insists that she have nothing to do with Lord Bromwell, and she's far too stubborn to follow his command -- especially since Brom is the most attractive man she's ever met. But an ugly history of lies and hatred lurks beneath Brom's courtship of Callie... and someone else is determined that it will get even uglier.

This is a bit tame as revenge stories go, because Brom, though using Callie to hurt her brother, is far too honorable to actually want to hurt her. Darn it. It's an unremarkable but entertaining quick read, with a few nice angsty moments and a few not-so-nice stupid moments. (Callie's quick change from innocent virgin to sex kitten is annoying.) The characters seem very young and naive, especially next to the more mature Francesca and Sinclair, who star in the next book of the series. Recommended for readers who like the kind of light Regencies that focus on the ton and the Season.
