It's hard to be respectable… Sinfully seductive Jasper Sinclair, Earl of Saxton, made a bargain with the devil-his father-to marry in one month's time. But instead of declaring his intentions for an acceptable debutante, he rebels by pursuing a captivating woman who may not be what she seems. When you'd rather be wicked… Orphaned seamstress Olivia West wants to lead an honest, respectable life, but the passionately determined Earl of Saxton launches a daunting campaign to make her his mistress. Destitute and desperate, Olivia concocts a scheme to give them both what they want. But when Jasper detects Olivia's deception, he vows to claim what he's owed-not his money, her.
