Sir Lawrence Daunton’s reputation as a reckless womanizer is legendary. His rakish ways and irrepressible behavior shocks and delights members of the Ton and the scandal sheets are kept busy writing about his many conquests and numerous amorous adventures. Frequently surrounded by a group of fervent admirers who hang onto his every word, Sir Lawrence doesn’t have that many opportunities to enjoy his own company – which is why, at Christmas, he decides to refuse every single invitation that comes his way and to spend the Yuletide season by himself, in his hunting lodge, with only the contents of his cellar for company. But no sooner has Lawrence poured his first glass of wine that he is interrupted by an insistent knock at the door…

Schoolteacher Rose Westerhill had set out into the snow to visit a friend – she certainly never expected to be trapped in a hunting lodge with the Ton’s most notorious rake! The prim and proper widow had read about Sir Lawrence’s shocking exploits in the scandal sheets – and not been the slightest bit impressed. Rose is determined not to be compromised by Sir Lawrence’s infamous charm and masterful seduction, but resistance soon proves to be futile…

Rose has always had to be sensible and practical, but Sir Lawrence’s expert ministrations awaken long suppressed feelings deep within her. In his arms, Rose forgets her duties, her responsibilities – and her promise to marry a man she doesn’t love! Rose had once married a man for love and ended up regretting it, so she’s determined to put all that romantic nonsense out of her head and to marry someone who will provide her with the security and stability which she so desperately craves. Her nights of sin with Sir Lawrence can only ever be a temporary interlude, but Rose hadn’t counted on the effect which she had on the Ton’s infamous rogue!

Matrimony has never held much appeal for Sir Lawrence, but a life without straitlaced Rose Westerhill doesn’t seem too appealing either! Will he manage to convince her to abandon caution and to take a second chance on love? Or will his plan to win Rose’s hand be thwarted by somebody intent on destroying him…
