When Lady Muriel Worth, the Duke of Faraday’s youngest daughter, travels to London to enter the Marriage Mart, she is more interested in academic than matrimonial pursuits. Certain she can juggle the society schedule and her numerous suitors, she plans to steal away for lessons with her Latin tutor whenever she can.

All goes as Muriel expects until the Earl of Amhurst arrives. London gossips link their names, and this causes complications not only for her reputation but for her heart as well.

It will take a proper Man of Circumstance to distract Muriel from touring Roman ruins and conjugating Latin verbs. To her dismay, the new Earl of Amhurst may do just that.
