Lord Andrew Framlington needs desperatly to marry for a dowry. His debts are piling so he needs to resort to the one quality he possesses: his ability to seduce women. And after one dance with Miss Mary Marlow, Pembroke’s little sister, he's decided she's the one for him.

After that dance, Mary has been warned by her brother and father to stay away from him, that he's a rogue and a scoundrel and only interested in her money. But he asked her to judge him for herself and not by what she hears about him, and she cannot help but trying to do so.

So when he starts to secretly seduce her, she doesn't put much of a fight. And seduced she is. She agrees to elope with him but when they are found in a compromising position by her father and brother who accuse Drew of being a liar and a manipulator and he doesn't even try to defend himself, she starts to doubt him...

But what is done is done, and now that they are married both must try to do the best of the situation. Only Drew is very proud and doesn't really talk to her which allows for a series of misundertandings on both sides that just drives them further apart. Can a love that developed on such shaky ground be strong enough to keep them together?

I wasn't really into them until after things started to fall apart, but then they both won me over. Drew is very damaged and is used to relying on no one but himself. The only people who used to matter to him were his sister and his friends. He has to learn how to trust Mary and how to be a part of a big loving family when he has never seen or experienced that. In the end, his transformation is well worth the ride.

I got to say I love the Marlows more with every book in the series I read. And I love the little glimpses of the love between Ellen and Edward (Mary's parents) that the author gives us. And I can't wait to see what she has in store for Drew's friends and sister...
