Sweet, nave Lady Clarissa is trying so hard to make the man she loves, love her back that all else, including her reputation are lost in the dust.  The problem is the man is a cad and Justin Rodale knows this, as he has seen the dark side of the man.  Justin is a longtime friend of the family who has watched Clarissa grow up to be a stunning woman.  This has been such a joy and torture for him on every level leaving him with a determination that if he cannot have Clarissa only the right man will love her, especially if that man is him.Justin came to build his gaming establishment from the ground up with no assistance from a family that treated him like what he was, a bastard.  He stands tall, even surrounded by the gossip mongers of the Ton who know his wealth but punish his lineage.  This push to do better in every aspect of his life also made him know how to spot the nefarious in others, a very good trait for a business owner.  Clarissa refuses to believe Justin about her love and decides to use him as an instructor in making her more seductively appealing.  Justin knows this is a mistake but one he has to make in order to have her see his true feelings or at the very least help him get over her.Time and an absurd amount of patience does not help Justin do anything but want her more and when Clarissa is compromised again he steps up to fix the mess.  The union may not be made in heaven but it certainly will pull Justin from his personal hell and perhaps solve the greatest mystery that haunts him daily.I love this series, these characters, the story line, the twists and turns, and every single word written.  I cannot stop moving from one book to the next knowing my heart will be broken with the last word on the last page.
