A REPUTATION IN TATTERSFollowing a disastrous incident at a house party, Lady Isobel Jervis is exiled to the country to avoid further rumours. At the imposing Wimpole Hall, she meets architect Giles Harker. He is as eye-catching as the elegant house, but shockingly arrogant – and infuriatingly dismissive. Despite himself, Giles is strangely drawn to the haughty Isobel and stuns her with a secret kiss in the gardens. As the illegitimate son of an infamous scarlet woman, he knows love can be dangerous.
