Publisher Description
While Olivia tries to navigate the social rules surrounding debutants, a nobleman becomes fixated with her. Olivia finds his attentions unwelcome, and the lack of respect he shows her is becoming a problem. When an infamous Duke rescues her, she soon discovers that he is by far more interesting than the men she has had to pretend interest in during her social engagements.
Olivia's sister is stepping out with an earl, but his title doesn't convince Olivia that his intentions toward her sister are honourable. The discovery of a ruse unwittingly places Olivia in danger and crushes her hopes of a match with the Duke.
As her father attempts to remove her from the Duke's clutches, he signs a marriage contract for Olivia with the one man she loathes. When Olivia's mother informs the Duke of the marriage contract that Olivia's father has signed, he races to find her. Can he reach her before her father arrives with the marriage contract? Will she marry him despite the heartache he caused?

Good Story
This is a pretty good story but the editing is atrocious! This author needs to choose a different editor/proof reader. A reader shouldn’t have to repeatedly reread a page or two in order to follow the thread of a story. And, sometimes you will come upon descriptive words that sound like what surely was intended but make no sense in the context. The 4 stars are for the originality of the plot and charisma of the main characters. The editing deserves a hearty 4 thumbs down.
