Lady in Disgrace — Maria Greene

Her pride was wounded -- but her heart was intrigued...

Shunned by the gentry, Joanna Warwick welcomed the company of young Toby Brownstone--though she had no romantic illusions about the wide-eyed pup. Thus she was even more infuriated when his arrogant, narrow-minded--and exceedingly handsome--uncle, Viscount Perth, dared to accuse her of wantonness and seduction...and offered a bribe to keep Toby and Joanna apart! She slapped him soundly and sent him away--but soon found herself in a wretched dilemma: The imperious oaf who had shocked, insulted, and offended her... had also captured her heart!
