When she meets Robert Hartley, Earl of Scarcliffe, she makes a few additions to that list:Stubborn. Infuriating. Handsome. Charming. Tempting.

And if that same woman is a Balfour? Not a chance!But Cecily just happens to have a pair of striking blue eyes, a taste for adventure and a rapier-sharp sense of humour.Robert's heart is in as much danger as his neck is in if they are caught together.
