Owner of a Lonely Heart

THE PROVINCIAL Eileen Logan is the respectable sister of England's most decorated spy, but she has never ventured to London. After a stolen kiss at Christmastide opens her eyes to heretofore-unimaginable possibilities, she accepts an invitation to journey to the city and partake of a Season. But Eileen is unfamiliar with the edicts that govern polite society, and a series of missteps sends her running for the relative safety of the country. Yet one man refuses to let her flee--her nemesis, George de Vere. THE RAKE George de Vere, Viscount Huntingdon, is bored. Stuck in a predictable routine associated with his rank, he longs for adventure, but none of his usual distractions suffice. When Sir Ross Logan's sister Eileen shows up in the ton's ballrooms, George pursues the ingenue, but he is not alone in his interest. As the Season progresses, and his target becomes embroiled in a scandal, he can think of only one solution to her predicament, but is he prepared to make the sacrifice?
