Sebastian Ballister, the Marquess of Dain, is known for his scandalous behavior and is certainly not the kind of man any respectable woman would associate with. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when Jessica Trent, a strong-willed woman determined to save her brother from ruin, crosses his path. Jessica is intelligent and resolute, but she finds herself drawn to the very man she should be avoiding. As their paths intertwine, both must confront their own desires and the consequences of their actions. This novel is a captivating blend of humor, passion, and historical detail, showcasing the author's talent for creating memorable characters and engaging storytelling. The chemistry between the protagonists is palpable, making it a must-read for fans of historical romance.
