Dutiful daughter Faith Baxendale just wants to please. Faith isn€t as adventurous as her younger sister, Hope, gadding about the Continent with their aunt, nor as rebellious as her elder sister, Honor, who planned to become a card sharp. And Faith couldn€t lose herself in her art like sixteen-year-old, Charity. Even Mercy, at fourteen, shows more backbone! After Faith€s first Season ends, her father urges her to marry the man of his choice. But when Lord Vaughn Winborne, a neighbor Faith had a crush on while still in the schoolroom, arrives home for the Brandreth€s hunt ball, surprising even to herself, Faith is drawn again towards a man her father would never consider. The youngest Brandreth male, Vaughn, is the black sheep of the family. His elder brother, Chaloner, Marquess of Brandreth, still looks upon him as a reckless youth, and Vaughn is determined to prove him wrong. A chance comes in the form of a scandal not of Vaughn€s making, and he must learn to trust Faith, who, when all€s said and done, has always known her own mind.
