I have to say this book was my favorite. This book had stupidity; lots of drama, sadness and bonus Simon Fitzgerald (Marquees of Sutherfield) and Cassandra from the second book make an appearance. I really loved being able to find out what happened to Simon and Cassandra. I wish romance novels would do more than just imply a happy ending has happened. Anyway about the story Jillian is the little sister of Simon Fitzgerald. One night Jillian stupidly goes out with her best friend (I use that term loosely) and her cousin to watch a duel between the very scandalous Earl of Wickham (lord wicked) who by the way slept with another man's wife and that's why the duel was happening in the first place. Anyway the Earl of Wickham wins the duel and they other gentleman decides that he isn't happy with that so he tries to kill the Earl of Wickham but is kill himself while the Earl was defending himself. Well the Earl makes a run for it along with his best friend and steals a coach unbeknownst to him Jillian is hiding in the coach waiting for her cousin and friend to join her. Anyway Jillian is kidnapped but not harmed and is allowed to return home after a couple of days. Well instead of allowing the Earl's friend to help her explain what happen she goes home alone to except her punishment which by the way disgraces her family, ends her engagement and by the end she is ostracized society. She has moved to the country to live with her aunt by the time the Earl of Wickham returns from his exile. The Earl comes back to find his friend who happens to be Jillian's brother (Simon) want to tear him limb from limb and is manipulated by Simon into marrying Jillian who is having none of that option. By the end the Earl manages to win Jillian's heart just by being himself even though she doesn't make it easy for him.
