Lady Phillippa Casemore(Pippa), makes a terrible impression on her initial coming out; a good friend of hers gives her liquor and she becomes tipsy and waltzes with Jason York, Earl of St. Austell. Austell doesn't have the best of reputations and before the evening is over a bet is made as to him getting Pippa into his bed. Pippa doesn't remember dancing with Austell or him for that matter which lays Austell's ego low when he meets her the next time. Even though he has been warned by Pippa's brothers to stay away from her, he just can't let it go and he decides to continue seeing her, but under a different name, all the while avoiding his friends, her brothers and other acquaintances when he is with Pippa. I liked the character Austell but Pippa was a little hard to swallow most of the time, just too nave and saccharine. He deserved someone with a little more backbone. I think I got my 99 cents worth out of it however.
