Not Quite A Lady: A Seductive Romance Where Intelligence, Attraction, and Risk Defy Society's Rules (Carsington Family Series Book 4)

Darius Carsington is a handsome rake with rare intelligence who spends his time between affairs and scholarly writing. He finds society's conventional women boring, but Lady Charlotte Hayward intrigues him with her apparent perfection that seems to hide something deeper. He is drawn to uncovering what lies beneath her polished surface. Lady Charlotte is beautiful, charming, and gracious, and has become skilled at avoiding marriage. A painful lesson about trust and temptation in her past has led her to devote herself to proper behavior. She has no intention of letting a man like Carsington tempt her into impropriety. However, attraction proves difficult to resist. The rules governing desire begin to override social conventions, and even the most well-behaved woman may find herself following instinct rather than propriety, regardless of the consequences.
