MISTAKEN IDENTITY, A LAVISH WAGER AND LOVE ALMOST LOST

Whip in hand, Georgina can often be seen driving her own carriage at breakneck speed through the finer streets of London ... Lady Georgina Suttondale--a breathtaking beauty so high-spirited that her brother would rather marry her off to a man she detests than risk further scandal. Georgina is a woman no man will attempt to tame.

No man except Lord Hugh Ballanville, who has arrived in London from his north country estate in search of a bride to grace Ballanville Castle. With his captivating blue eyes, Lord Hugh could claim any lady he desires. But after the dusty ride into London, he looks as dishevelled as a ruffian footman -- and that's precisely what Georgina takes him to be!

London is astir with the coming social event of the season--Lady Carrington's Ball--and Georgina has just two weeks to win the wager that she can pass off her roguish footman as a prince of the blood!
