Publisher Description
A nobleman trying to protect a woman's virtue discovers he longs to seduce her himself in this Regency romance from a New York Times–bestselling author.
After the death of her dear father, Georgiana Hartley returns home to England—only to be confronted by the boorish advances of her wretched cousin. Knowing no one, she flees to Dominic Ridgely's estate, hoping the nobleman will bestow a neighborly kindness upon her.
The haughty viscount hears Georgiana's plea to find her a position as a lady's companion with thinly veiled disgust. A lovely innocent such as Miss Hartley subjected to that base existence? The very idea was preposterous. Instead, he takes matters into his own hands and introduces her to his sister's influence.
Suddenly, Georgiana is transformed into a lady who charms the ton with ease and draws a bevy of suitors at every turn. Everything is unfolding according to Dominic's plan . . . until he realizes that he desires Georgiana for his own.

Customer Reviews
Impetuous Innocence
I enjoyed it. I liked the characters and story and it was clean!
Meh
I ADORE Stephanie Laurens, sentence fragments and all, and have happily read dozens of her books. Her world-building in the Regency era is second to none, and I rate her as a 10 in my personal romance author ranking. This one was a real disappointment. I wasn’t a fan of the large age gap between the protagonists, the petty drama and misunderstandings went on and on, and there was no real payoff at the end. If this had been the only SL book I read, I would not have read another. Skip it and read the Cynster series!
