Miss Gwendoline Chance is about to announce her engagement to her family. She just doesn’t expect three things.

Firstly, that her newly betrothed, the Marquess of Ravenshurst, is going to propose in such a boring manner.

Secondly, that her family will be so disappointed with her choice.

And thirdly, that her brother will bring home a startlingly handsome young man who will not stop staring at her.

But Ernest Quintrell, unexpected Baron Frasemere, cannot help himself. Passionate Gwen Chance has an intriguingly fiery temper and fascinatingly bad manners, but she is engaged to another man. And she’s his friend’s sister!

Besides, the only reason Ernest is even in London is to find a wealthy bride to restore his disgraced family’s fortunes.

Which is why he should never even have been in with a chance with the tempestuous woman who is determined to have the rich marquess, despite the stirrings she feels whenever she looks at Ernest…

When secrets are spilled and arguments becoming kissing, Gwen isn’t exactly in with a chance of saving her reputation.
