While Gabrielle is beautiful and educated, she has no real desire to enter London society. But Georgina, wife of former gentleman pirate James Malory, and her brother, Drew Anderson, persist in making Gabrielle accompany them to balls and parties.
Drew, a fun-loving rogue, is drawn to Gabrielle, but he wants nothing to do with a husband-hunting young woman. After he embarrasses her at a ball, she knows it will take extreme measures to make him admit that he can't live without her...
