A Marquess hopes to transform a low-born beauty into an ideal match in the New York Times–bestselling author's Regency romance.

London, 1815. After closing her eyes in the city's poorest slum, Devon St. James awakens wrapped in fine linens . . . staring into the eyes of the most gorgeous man she has ever seen! Sebastian Sterling, marquess of Thurston, is clearly shocked to have a girl from the streets in his bed—despite the unmistakable desire burning in his gaze.

After impetuously carrying her into his home, Sebastian must now deal with this exquisite young beauty in rags. Worse still, the lady is driving the responsible marquess to distraction with her spirit and sensuality. But perhaps with some of Sebastian's private schooling, this fiery enchantress can learn refinement and manners—and be miraculously transformed into . . . a perfect bride.
