Following the death of her neglectful husband, Kit Mallory returns to the life of a scholar, with its dusty books and shamefully out-of-date dresses. Although she has no one to love, Kit believes, after her spouse’s ill treatment, that romance is highly overrated.
Then the Dowager Duchess of Wexcombe, Kit’s bosom friend, finds herself in a pickle, and the young widow offers her help, never expecting to make the acquaintance of the duchess’s nephew, Lord Bainbridge–or to make a reckless bargain with the charming peer that may win her true love…or cost her heart.

Elizabeth Powell
Elizabeth Powell started her writing career at the age of ten, when she began composing stories about her favorite TV and movie characters. She graduated from Grinnell College with a degree in music and went on to obtain a master’s degree in Ethnomusicology from the University of Wisconsin. After trying a number of jobs, she succumbed to her muse and became a full-time author. When she is not writing, or reading anything she can get her hands on, she enjoys Middle Eastern music and dance, kickboxing, and creating period costumes. She lives in Wisconsin with her husband, Bill, and two very spoiled cats, Moose and Shadow all of whom patiently put up with her wretched sense of humor.
