description: WHAT IF A RAKE REFUSED TO REFORM?
  
  Convinced that reformed rakes make the best husbands, beautiful and spirited Clarissa Derhurst is determined to find one of her very own in London--and reform him for herself. Only a rake will be capable of the grand passion she craves, after all, but finding the right one isn't as easy as she expected it to be. Then she meets Evan Fortesque, Lord Wolviston, and discovers that, despite his considerably less than wicked appearance, he's a rogue of the first order...
  
  After his father's crippling accident, Wolviston has known nothing but responsibility, and sowing the few wild oats he has left sounds like just the thing. Especially when he hears an engaging, young miss remarking that he appears too staid! To teach the lovely Clarissa a lesson she won't soon forget, Wolviston decides to play the part of an irredeemable rake for all it's worth--until he finds that Clarissa has attracted the attention of the true article. Suddenly Wolviston must stoop to some scandalously flirtatious behavior to win the woman who has stolen his heart...
