For a novella, I usually prefer the couple to have know each other previously for the story to work better in the shorter space but in this one they don't...and it still works! Miss Eliza Cade made a foolish mistake when she was younger and pays for it now by not being able to have a Season until her three older sisters are married. She unintentionally meets the notorious rake, Harry Wright and they both capture each others attention. A bit of time passes and a chance encounter reacquaints them, and the desire and attraction still burns. With clever chapter titles and superb writing skills, you will fall for this couple and hope they overcome the obstacles that continue to arise. Tessa Dare is an auto buy author for me and she proves why, even in the shorter story length. 4 stars
