description: A PECULIAR PENCHANTPretty Lady Penelope Rayburn could have had her pick of society's bachelors, but her keen wit and fiery spirit said "nay." To her father's dismay Penny did not give a fig for the London Season; she preferred mischief to marriage!Distraught, the Marquess made his daughter a wager: Penelope was to winter in rustic Derbyshire with her dowager cousin Lucinda. If she lasted the entire time without incurring an "incident;" the Marquess would never again refer to his daughter's refusal to find a proper husband. Penny eagerly accepted the challenge. But then she met a dashing gent named Lucien Kenrick, who was just as playful as she. Lady Penelope had met her match in the person of a devilish bounder. Yet she never heard the cries of scandal ... only the beating of her heart.
