In Which Matilda Halifax Earns the Value of Restraint

For seven years, Matilda Halifax and her twin have been the most scandalous ladies in London. But when Matilda accidentally sells erotic drawings of the brooding, reclusive Marquess of Ashford, she has-perhaps-gone too far.

Christian de Bord, Lord Ashford, knows what it's like to be notorious. Alone ever since he was accused of murdering his wife, Christian is determined to protect his adolescent sister Bea. But when Matilda Halifax's salacious pamphlet appears featuring his own face, he's thrust back into the storm of public attention.

Bea's painting tutor quits and the only person he can find to replace her at his terrifying Gothic castle is Matilda herself. The last thing Christian needs is another scandal-especially not one with the most sinfully tempting face he's ever seen.

Matilda is determined to right what she's set wrong. One fake elopement and a carriage ride later, Matilda finds herself in Northumberland with Christian, whose scowls do little to hide the wounds he carries.

Only Matilda Halifax could turn Christian's life so decidedly inside out-and only Matilda can persuade him that love just might be worth the risk...
