book in the
Tales From Seldon Park
series, read on!

Marcus Cheltenham, the current
Viscount Breckenright and eventual Earl of Evanston, has returned to London at
the height of the social season - just in time to save his sister's
reputation.
 
Now, however, the family
crisis has passed and, as the heir to the Evanston fortunes, he must decide
whether to remain in London or leave town to rusticate in the country.
 
Not that it is a particularly easy
choice.
 
Though it should be.

Single and undeniably handsome,
Marcus has long been a favorite target of match-making mamas who wish to see
their daughter wed to a man who would, in time, make them a wealthy and
respected countess.
 
That was before,
however.
 
Before the fever that stole his
sight, and the doctors who bled his body, leaving him partially blind and physically
weak.
 
However, Marcus's self-imposed
exile to Bath to speed his recovery has done little to cool interest in the man
the scandal sheets now refer to as "The Viscount of Mystery."
 
And the worst gossip of all is the
mysterious "Lady X" and her
Society Tales
column.
 
She has pronounced Marcus the "catch of
the season," despite his physical flaws, much to his dismay.

Lady Caroline Turner was Marcus
Cheltenham's best friend for years, growing up together on neighboring country
estates.
 
In fact, she was the audacious
woman who dared to hold a knife on a so-called physician who would have bled
the young viscount to death, given the opportunity.
 
Then, Marcus was gone, whisked away to recover his health, and
Caroline lost the one person who helped her make sense of a world where she was
expected to be both the lady of the manor and a meek, obedient daughter at the
same time.

Now, Marcus is back, but he's not
the same man who left London three years ago.
 
He's more cautious now, harder in many ways, and not nearly the catch he
once was, at least in the eyes of the
ton
.
 
He's also hurting and alone, and as his friend, Caroline cannot
bear to see him suffer.
 
Determined to
turn his marital prospects, not to mention his life, around, Caroline, under
her guise as Lady X, sets out to make Marcus the most sought after bachelor of
the season once again.
 
With her pen and
crafty way with words, she can make the so-called "Viscount of
Mystery" into a man every woman desires for her own.

However Caroline underestimates how
painful it will be to watch women pursue Marcus, especially when she quickly
discovers that she wants him for herself!
 
However, they are old friends, and the viscount has made it clear that
he does not think of her in a romantic light.
 
Still, would Marcus truly be happy married to a feather-brained girl
just out of the schoolroom?
 
Or worse, a
widow who is only looking to warm her bed and doesn't appreciate what a man
like Marcus truly needs in a woman?
 
Doesn't he deserve to have someone in his life who challenges him and
pushes him to leave the past behind and forge a new future?
 
Doesn't he deserve someone...like Caroline?
