A breathtaking beauty falls prey to a marriage trap, as the New York Times - bestselling author's Regency romance series continues.
Daphne Armitage embarked on her first Season with secret dread. For though she had long since learned the power of her flawless beauty, she shrank from the open competition of the marriage mart. Better to marry her first suitor, the fastidious Cyril Archer, and be done with it. But when Simon Garfield, notable and wealthy Corinthian, falls in love with the lively girl bubbling beneath the veneer of her beauty, Daphne's resolve is tested . . . that is, until the vain Mr. Archer threatens to reveal a family scandal so horrible that marriage seems a small price to pay to keep the secret.
