Sebastian stared at Julia's clothing with distaste. This simple cloth on her body was enough to drive him wild with lust. He could feel his control crumbling bit by bit. As he stared at her damp shirt, he couldn't help, but wonder if her breast was secured under that shirt ******************* Julia is wild, eccentric, and entirely unsuitable for polite society. While other ladies spend the season searching for husbands, Julia sneaks into London's notorious gaming hells, chasing excitement instead of propriety. But when pressure to marry becomes impossible to ignore, Julia devises a scandalous plan: if she must wed, it will be to a man who gives her complete freedom. She narrows her choices to two men, the Duke of Wychford and the charming Earl of Tonfield, and fully intends to seduce one of them by hook or by crook. There is only one problem: the infuriating Duke of Hanton, her best friend's older brother, keeps interfering in her plans. And the more he meddles, the more dangerous it becomes for Julia to remember he was never supposed to be part of the game at all.
