A Virtuous Lady

A proper American lady enters into a duel of hearts with a dashing English rake in this passionate Regency romance from the USA Today–bestselling author. "I consider Elizabeth Thornton a major find." —New York Times–bestselling author Mary Balogh Briony Langland had no use for the superficial games of the ton. She did, however, have choice words for London's most notorious rake when she caught him dallying with his flavor of the moment in her uncle's library. She never thought that her bold set-down would only inspire his lordship to employ his considerable charms to awaken her own deepest passions. Hugh Montgomery, Marques of Ravensworth, has never met a woman he couldn't seduce and just as easily forget. But Briony, so self-possessed, so scrupulous, so determined to thwart him at every turn, has awakened something deep inside his cold, self-serving heart—a desire to experience love. His lordship has a few lessons to learn in the art of sweet persuasion . . . and Briony may be just the woman to teach him.
