To dull the pain, she lives only for pleasure. And she derives immense pleasure from coleading the Mismatch Society, a league of scandalously independent women. Perhaps too scandalousbecause of Annalee. To save the society, she must adopt a veneer of respectability. For that she needs the man whos won the admiration of the ton.Wayland may be conflicted, but he agrees to Annalees proposal, if only to atone for having brought his former beloved to Peterloo on that fateful day. Reunited under the pretense of a courtship, Wayland and Annalee find the feelings between them are becoming real. With their own futures at stake, its finally time to confront the past, to trust in each other again, and against the odds, to reclaim the love they once had.
