American heiresses looking to secure English lords must be on their best behaviour, but Violet Crenshaw has other plans. She intends to flee London and the marriage her parents have arranged to become an author - if only the wickedly handsome earl who inspired her most outrageously sinful character didn''t insist on coming with her.
