Lady Honoria Pratt is the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Ollington. Period. For years, she's allowed her position in society to rule everything in her life – including her own conscience. After a disastrous house party where she nearly disgraces herself and almost ruins the chance at happiness for a couple truly in love, she returns to London, determined to focus on the things that have always held any meaning to her – shopping on Bond Street and rubbing elbows with the ton.

Royce Ainsworth, Baron Coxford, has never cared for the opinions of society. He's a prosperous landowner who seldom comes to town. However, when his good friend, the Viscount of Hollingham, invites him to his wedding, he can't refuse. When he meets the cousin of Marcus's intended, Royce sees Honoria as just another spoiled debutante. But as emotions—and passions—begin to flare, he has to wonder if there is hope for redeeming the lady, or if he's the one who will live to regret giving his heart away.
