"The night before dissolute Lord Denham is about to embark on his Grand Tour, he meets an unexpected complication. In boy's clothes that barely conceal her delectable curves, his childhood friend Lady Althea Curtiss--desperate to escape an arranged marriage--arrives, demanding free passage! Rhys accepts his unlikely traveling companion with great reluctance--the scandal is sure to blow up in his face--until he finds there is far more intimate territory Lady Thea is curious to explore. Soon he realizes that he is in danger of awakening not only Thea's sensuality, but also his own long-buried heart."--Page 4 of cover.
