But after he saves Emma from a life of indentured servitude and shame, Emma decides that it is her personal duty to save him from his wicked ways. Step one — stop his drinking, his gaming, and his wild revelry. Step two — make him break up with his mistress, the superbly sensual Fae Moullé, and transform him into a suitable suitor for the ideal wife that prim and proper Lady Clarissa Partridge would be. Step three — don’t fall in love with him. Best-selling author Carla Kelly proves once again that love, transformation, and spontaneity are the best ingredients for an exquisite romance.
