There's just one problem, he doesn't seem to like her much.īut Lady Claire loves a good challenge and the intellectual beauty may be on her way to the grandest adventure of all. If she can convince Colin Smith to take her with him as he travels the world, then she'll have the life she's always dreamed of. A treasure hunt for the Cleopatra Emerald promises adventure, but Claire wants more. She will be a dutiful daughter and loving. Adelaide Bursnell is determined to right her wrongs. There's just one problem: his ex-lover, presumed dead, is remarkably alive. All he has to do is stay scandal-free until the papers are signed. As a reward for his service to the Crown, he has been offered the title of marquess. Her life is a catalogue of dances and evening gowns, and thanks to an eidetic memory, she can remember every blasted, boring second of it. Nicholas Eastwood is finally about to get everything he ever wanted.
Lady Claire, daughter of a marquess, is everything Colin loathes about the ton, but she is determined to win him over. He has no use for the stifling rules of the ton, but he's more than happy to play the game if it gets him what he wants.
But only until he can sell off some of his treasures. After ten years of adventure, Colin Smith, the bastard son of a viscount, returns to the place he most despises ––London.
