In an act of revenge, Lord Rayne kissed Lady Julia and was sent packing to America. But now he's back to settle his affairs and give away his sister in marriage, until he meets up with the alluring yet innocent Lady Julia again. He doesn't regret their first kiss, but he was never good enough for her.

Lady Julia had two years to forget the moody and mercurial Earl of Rayne. But one look, and she knows they're meant to be together. Be damned with his and her brother's objections, she'll just jump on the back of Rayne's departing carriage and compromise them both thoroughly.

Only, Julia never expected her forbidding Lord to be so good at resisting temptation . . .

Contains mature themes.
