Years ago Lady Louisa Windham acted rashly on a dare from her brother, and that indiscretion is about to come to light. She knows her reputation will never survive exposure.

As much as she'd rather be reading Shakespeare than husband hunting, she has to admit she's impressed by Julian's protective instincts, his broad shoulders, and, of course, his vast library.

Si rivolge quindi a Will, suo amico durante l'adolescenza, affinché le insegni come andare d'accordo con i cani.
