Book 1 of the Ruined Series.

Letitia Grady is smart, beautiful, rich... and ruined. She was scarcely out of the schoolroom when her eldest sister eloped with a man, only to come back from the adventure unmarried still. Because of a choice that was not even her own, Letitia has been forced to the fringes of society to dwindle into spinsterhood. No respectable man would risk his reputation offering for a woman tainted by association.

However, there is nothing respectable about Sir Randall Scott. For most of her life Letitia believed she wanted nothing more than a normal existence... now she's not so sure.
