Josephine Harker lives at the edge of Society with a mother who runs a gaming club and an artist father who flits about the ton. She just wants the ability to choose her own path instead of what society dictates-or what her parents think is best for her. When Shefford, a notorious rake, proposes a faux engagement along with a substantial sum, she cannot refuse.
Dangerously captivated by one another from the outset, their attraction explodes into a searing passion they can't deny. But the last thing Jo wants is to risk her heart on a rogue who can't see he's much more than his reputation-or that there is such a thing as true love.
