Widely known for her tendency to flout the rules, she suspects nothing when a handsome stranger appears on her doorstep. She came to London to have a good time, and that's exactly what she's doing. Brooke Banks isn't interested in marriage, or so she thinks. But, in order to gain his fortune he must do only one simple thing: ruin an innocent young lady's reputation enough to make her flee to America. With no other means for an income, the impoverished Andrew Black, Earl of Townson, makes an agreement that will put a definite end to his eight year poverty streak.

The innocent he's selected, however, has no plans to settle for anything less than marriage and will go to almost any length to secure him.
