While this book is a stand-alone title, it follows Runaway Scandal.

Scandal threatens Huntington Hall. All the evidence suggests Bertram, Viscount Darling, is a traitor. None of his friends believes it of course—particularly not Miss Cecilia Burnside, who has loved Bert for years. Ceci wonders if she’ll ever prove to Bertie that not all women are like the one who condemned him into thinking himself a great awkward lump no female would ever wed.

While Bert is compelled to remain under his father’s roof, his friends Geoff and Dom and spinster sisters Elf and Ally Thornton rush to his side to find proof of his innocence. Between them, they will need to discover who the villain is—but more importantly for Bertie and Ceci’s happiness, they will have to make the viscount discover his true feelings for his old playmate.
