Quite by chance he meets Miss Angelica Pruitt, a young beauty who is less than forthright about her reasons for being there. Her sensual charm intrigues him but she cannot be a mere file de jole - her elegance and impeccable manners mark her as a lady. Yet Angelica is alone...Angelica well believes that the darkly handsome baronet could win the heart of any woman with just one smouldering glance, for he has captured hers. An amorous dalliance on such short acquaintance would be most improper...and impossible to resist...
