For the past six years, Miss Lizzie Doherty has had exactly zero proposals. Not because she isn't attractive, or from a good family, or doesn't have well-connected friends, but simply because she is poor. Or so the ton believe. Invited to a country house party on a stormy night, her journey takes an unexpected turn when her driver delivers her to the wrong estate. Upon entering the home, she's soon masked and sworn to secrecy. Never has Lizzie ever experienced such an odd and intriguing event, so she plays along to see where the night will take her. Lord Hugo, Viscount Wakely lives for sin, for anything scandalous, and for house parties that involve all of those things. At least he used to. But imagine his surprise when his good friends' ward, Miss Lizzie Doherty, an innocent and a successful debutante six years running, arrives at the last debauchery house party he'll attend. Or when an impromptu, scandalous kiss turns his life upside down. Lizzie decides to stay for the week-long house party. Masks keep the guests' identities secret, but Lizzie would know Lord Hugo Wakely anywhere. And that one impromptu, scandalous kiss tells her that he is the Viscount for her...he just doesn't know it yet.โ
