After a single, spoiled season five years before, Lady Angeline O'Shea cannot believe she has been invited to a house party where matches are certain to be made. Everyone is scrambling to discover the identity of Lord Carshalton's mysterious heir, but Angeline would rather solve the mystery of how to make Lord Rafe McAllister, the Marquess of Rothbury, smile again. But she has her work cut out for her where this wounded hero is concerned… Fresh off of a broken engagement in which his reputation was raked through the mud, Rafe wants nothing more than to hide away at Nedworth Hall for the summer, licking his wounds. He supposes he'll have to marry eventually, but the last woman on earth that he could see as his marchioness is cheerful, angelic, innocent Angeline. But Angeline's sweetness enchants him, and before Rafe can stop it, his reluctant fondness for the Irish angel turns into a passion that he cannot deny… …until his former fiancée shows up at the house party.
