Dangerous to Love

Ivan Thornton, an illegitimate nobleman now titled as the Earl of Westcott, is driven by revenge against the society that rejected him in childhood. Known as the Gypsy bastard, he has become London's most eligible bachelor while systematically breaking hearts, intent on punishing those who made him suffer for his father's sins. Lucy Drysdale, a spinster without title or fortune, has come to London to chaperone her cousin through her first social season. Her sharp wit and intellectual interests have deterred potential suitors. She hopes to attend lectures by a renowned psychology expert with whom she has been corresponding in secret. When Lucy encounters Ivan, she finds herself drawn to the arrogant, uncivilized nobleman despite his reputation. Rather than avoid him, she takes on the challenge of taming a man society considers too dangerous to love, risking her composure in the process.
