A dashing new neighbour...temptation on her doorstep!

To avoid an unwanted suitor at a ball, Hope Brookes asks another gentleman to rescue her. He obliges — with a surprisingly passionate kiss! Revealed as her sinfully handsome new neighbour, Lucius, Marquess of Thundersley, they forge a friendship over their balconies. It's refreshing that Lucius is more interested in her writer dreams than her looks, so why can't she stop thinking about that kiss?
