After stowing away in the Marquess of Eversley's carriage to escape London and scandal, Lady Sophie Talbot must convince the Marquess that she is not trying to trick him into marriage as they try to resist their mutual attraction.

The first in a brand new series from New York Times bestselling, RITA award-winning, author Sarah MacLean. The least-interesting Talbot sister scandalized society by striking her notoriously philandering brother-in-law and landing him backside-first in a goldfish pond. And we thought Sophie was the quiet one. When she finds herself the target of very public aristocratic scorn, Sophie Talbot flees, vowing to start a new life far from London. Unfortunately, the carriage in which she stows away isn't saving her from ruin ... it's filled with it. The Marquess of Eversley was espied descending a rose trellis-eluding an irate Earl and his once-future countess. No lady is safe from the Eversley's engagement ending escapades! Kingscote, Marquess of Eversley, has never met a woman he couldn't charm, a quality resulting in a reputation far worse than the truth and an irate summons to the Scottish border. When King discovers stowaway Sophie, however, the journey becomes anything but boring. He thinks she's trying to trick him into marriage. She wouldn't have him if he were the last man on earth. But carriages bring close quarters, dark secrets, and unbearable temptation, making opposites altogether too attractive.
