A thwarted elopement. An opportunist Guardian. Lies, secrets, and a second chance at love. When Adelaide, Lady Leeson discovers that her illegitimate daughter, Charlotte, has run away from Miss Prism's Ladies' Seminary in the midst of an elopement gone wrong, she seeks the assistance of the charismatic Jasper Creighton to locate her wayward child. Jasper, known for his rakish reputation, eventually finds Charlotte at an inn, where she has grown skeptical of her intended partner and is ready to face the consequences of her impulsive actions. However, instead of returning home, Charlotte falls under the guardianship of a woman with ulterior motives, orchestrating a marriage that benefits everyone but Charlotte herself. Three years later, a wiser and more determined Charlotte devises a plan to escape her manipulative guardian and her impending marriage. Turning to Jasper Creighton once again, she discovers that while he may shun the idea of matrimony, he is not immune to her irresistible allure. Yet, Charlotte's audacious escape during her betrothal ball encounters unexpected challenges, testing the limits of their burgeoning romance. In this steamy Regency romance of second chances, a resolute heroine and a stubborn hero must risk everything to realize the true value of love.
