Their mothers dared all for love. Just imagine what their daughters will do... A serious dilemma... Miss Elspeth Cadogan is a cuckoo in a very lively nest. Her parents, Jerome and Bonnie Cadogan, are notorious for their wild parties and practical jokes. Elspeth is sensible, bookish, and just wants a quiet life. Having helped her friend Eliza create her charitable school for girls, she is even considering becoming a teacher. Until... A rake and a libertine... ‘Dare’ Kelburn, Viscount Roxborough, has never refused a wager, turned down a dare, or walked away from a fight. He can’t, however, ignore the pile of bills that is threatening to become a serious fire hazard or the fact his house is falling down. When his friends point out that pretty little wallflower Elspeth Cadogan has a dowry weighty enough to buy half of Derbyshire, Dare can hardly disagree. Loathing at first sight… When Dare’s usual brand of charm and wickedness fail to impress, it is clear desperate measures are called for. With a little help from his friends, a scandal is easy enough to arrange. A dull little killjoy or a challenge he cannot resist... Elspeth may have been tricked into marrying the most loathsome man in all of England, but he can’t make her dance to his tune. If he wanted a nice, quiet, docile wife who would sit at home while he spends all her money, he’s misjudged. Elspeth has learned from the best what it means to be wild... and she’s damn well going to show him.
