Ophelia Reid is an incomparable beauty with the reputation for starting rumors. Having purposely wrecked her engagement to Duncan MacTavish, a future marquis, which her social-climbing father arranged, Ophelia wants to return to London's marriage mart and make her own choice of a wealthy husband. But on her journey home, something unexpected happens....The heir to a dukedom, Raphael Locke, Viscount Lynnfield, is the most sought-after young lord in England. He instantly disliked Ophelia when she caused a scandal to avoid marrying his friend MacTavish, but he begins to wonder if she's not all bad. So when MacTavish claims that Ophelia will never be anything but spiteful, Rafe bets his friend otherwise.
Whisking her -- chaperoned, of course -- to his country estate, Rafe shows his furious, sharp-tongued "guest" the error of her ways and discovers the surprising reasons for her bad behavior. When Rafe champions the new and improved Ophelia's re-entry to London society, marriage proposals pour in. Only then does Rafe wonder whether he hasn't gone and fallen in love with Ophelia himself....
My Thoughts: At first I didn't like the heroine, I thought she was a spoiled brat. But then as the story progressed and I found out why she acts the way she did, I understood, and grew to like her. Rafe was a good guy, and a perfect match for Ophelia.
