Book description
Lord Philip Ravenshaw is through with love. He has spent the better
part of his youth as a hopeless romantic, only to be met with
heartbreak again and again. Refusing to wallow in self-pity this time,
Lord Philip decides to move deep into the Dorset countryside to breed
horses in business with a local tradesman.
When Miss Olivia Winter learns that her father's new business partner
is a lord from London, she is less than thrilled. Her one and only
disastrous season in London has left her with the bitter opinion that
aristocrats are the most unpleasant sort of people one could ever have
the misfortune to meet. For the sake of her father's business, Olivia
decides to pack away her hatred of nobility and greet Lord Philip with
as much grace as she can muster.
But once Lord Philip mistakes Olivia's fumbled attempts at
hospitality as shameless flirting, and accuses her of social climbing,
tempers begin to flare-until one day, their temper turns to passion.
Though he tries to fight it, Philip's love for Olivia begins to grow,
but Olivia has her doubts, especially when a jealous debutant
threatens to ruin Olivia's reputation and her chances with Philip . .
. forever.
