Lady Charlotte Vanderly's heartless mother has betrothed her to a lecherous old duke against her will and without her consent.  While at a ball a chance encounter with Gavin Graystone awakens Charlotte to the idea of passion in a marriage and Charlotte is all the more determined to get out of her unwanted betrothal.  Gavin was born in the slums of London and is now a wealthy entrepreneur.  He cannot forget his encounter with Charlotte and weeks later when she approaches him about marriage he has already convinced himself that marriage to a respectable member of the "ton" would give him the one thing money can't buy:  Respect.  Gavin proposes a marriage of convenience to Charlotte.  She will get out of marrying the duke and he will have a Lady for a wife.  But can their marriage remain one of business only?  I loved this story!  It was well written with interesting characters and a total "page turner".  While there are sensual scenes they are not overly graphic or too numerous.  My only minor gripe is I wish there was an epilogue to tie off the loose ends of the plot and not just the "and they lived happily ever after" ending.
